Wanting info on going electric

[wag67]

Wll had a nice couple of hours of flying at SC but the wind dies so on th way home watched some electric flying and well i was impressed. I have had a look on Hbby city but I really have no idea an can't remember what the guys told me so here is what i am after.
I will probably convert a Bee or similar so I guess I need a motor, Battery and a speed controller. What size do I need. Is it a 30 amp speed controller that i should look for and and what brand ,size motor is recommended
as for the battery what size should I get.

Next thing is to charge the batteries I have been using the battery charger that came with my Optic 6 controller and I am sure this is not good for battery life so what battery charger is recommended

I am totally new to this so any info would be great for a green horn like myself
