It would help to have a few details on what the hell your talking about and if it was due to your stupidity, stop being stupid and you shouldn't have any more problems with it.

If you are too stupid for electric power, you aren't going to do any better converting it to gas.

I'm with Duuuuuuude here. You won't have a whole lot more luck with gas power than electric. In fact, gas is harder to deal with. You need to figure out why you are burning things up in the first place and then go from there.

In fact, you might be better off switching to a hobby grade vehicle that you can work on easier.

What they said ^^^^, plus the Newbright plastics weren't designed to withstand oil, gasoline, and the heat from an engine.

I know some people really don't like electronics because they don't understand it, but hobby grade electronics are made to be easy to install and use and there's a lot of information and helpful people on forums like this to help you along.
