I'm having fun! Are you?

Ron,
I prefer battery powered engines. I've converted two and I hope to convert some others. I hope that manufacturers will start making making battery powered engines. If not, I suppose that we will have to do our own conversions.
I must admit that converting an engine is a daunting task for many - perhaps for most. It is also expensive. This is especially true for the first conversion when you have to buy a controller plus a charger, etc. The cost is offset by not having to buy transformer(s), command control system, lots of wiring and stuff to connect it with, etc. However, if you already have all of these items it is hard to spend extra to convert.
I think that battery power will become normal in time just like it has become normal with RC airplanes, drones, and many other toys. NH Joe
