You can use the one from Mike over at RC-monster.com, or the Losi conversion. Mounting for the motor mount is the same on the 1.0 and 2.0. Just be sure to pick the right motor.....that is the most important part of the whole system.

This guy makes some nice stuff also. You will need the losi conversion battery tray.

Another option with mount and battery tray.

You have a lot for the losi!
You Should do this:
You can make a Losi 1.5 electric truggy if you go tekno. (You don't have to use the clutch or mechanical brakes)
http://www.teknorc.com/product_info.php?cPath=97&products_id=1037
Here is the parts list:
1. Tekno 8T 2.0 kit
2. Front and Rear 8t 2.0 shock towers
3. 8t 2.0 Rear Center CVD
4. 8t 2.0 Body
5. 8t 2.0 body mounts.
6. 8t 1.0 Race Roller
If you're handy with a drill, you don't need the new towers. You just need to drill some holes for the rear body posts. The front fit, but are a little awkward. Obviously if you do get the new towers, it will be a lot easier and look a little better.
"Handling is similar since the weight distribution is basically the same (same chassis). It seems a true 2.0 likes to pivot from the center and maybe handles bumps a tad better, whereas the 1.5 pivots a little from the rear and needs more suspension tuning to achieve the bump handling. There are a lot of Tekno 8T 2.0's at our local track and the guys running the 1.5's haven't lost any ground really. The biggest factor is the chassis. Hope this helps." (TeknoRc)
You can slowly convert everything to a full 2.0 over time.
Hope this helps!
