the downside is that to convert one would cost about as much as just buying a good electric 4wd car

Wow so many helpful responses!

Another downside is the time and engineering you may have to commit to get it done. If you're just interested in the challenge, I can totally understand, and please keep us apprised of your work [sm=thumbs_up.gif]
