the way its held down I guess you have to remove those items, the top screws for diff and servo plate so that you can move the shaft for removal of CD

I just noticed this and it was my only annoyance putting the truck together, other than having to dremel out my servo holder to get the servo to fit.. Overall I am stoked about the new build!

The pic up above shows my problem its the xt8 and this is after I turned the servo on and shut it down its like at 11:00 to keep wheels straight seems like its to long post #136

There is a XT8 08 spec for sale with a neu motor, MMM 4s battery almost ready to run just add a radio for 350 I am on the border of buying it.. What do you guys think?

I have a long arm on my servo and it makes a 90 angle. I will take a pic tonight. Was your truck an 08 spec to start?

hey lucias and swiftneed i can paint ya body if ya want, im not a pro by anymeans but i do pretty well, here is finally a picture of my truck with its body on. PM me if you want.

is that a MBX6T bull dog body?

That's crappy I can't even get you to paint one for me

I think i am going to give it a shot to paint it i will put up the ugly pics next week why not have fun lol lots of stickers lol and crayons YEAH IT A 08 SPEC

its a JConcepts losi 2.0 punisher body, fits great when you lower the rear body mounts 23mm

oh quit your whining i said would paint all your bodies when summer gets here (2-3 weeks away) hell ive only had time to paint 5 bodies in the past 4 weeks with school and work. Lately painting has been cutting into my cars maintenance time severly. Ive still got 7 more bodies sitting here too.

hell my xray is still in back of my truck since the other weekend when we ran. haven't even had time to bring it in the house yet, poor thing.

And the build begins!
 

Sick paint rootar!!! Would it be possible to get a picture of the rear shock tower with the body mounts lowered? I love the way the "new" truggy bodies look.

I couldn't resist and I decided to do this conversion! :party:

Below is my parts list and if everything goes well I should have the truggy running in a couple of weeks.

XRAY XT8 2009 Spec
RC-Monster Conversion (Mike is working on a trick receiver box, it should be sweet!)
46t Slipperential
Tekin RX8 1550kv truggy motor
Hyperion 5s 5000mah lipo
Futaba S9351 (It's a spare servo with ~200oz of torque, will this be enough)

My truggy will be used only for racing. Where is a good place to start with setup? Shocks, diffs, tires, speedo?? Setup sheets?

Are there any option parts that are a necessity?

Anyone want to buy new nitro parts? :lol:

Hey feisty is he only making one or he is producing them

He said that he has a cad drawing of the receiver box and he just has to machine it, test it, and make changes if needed. Something like what he did with his D8 kit.

On a side note, how many people like the new style of body? It would be cool to have something like this for the XT8. :whistle:

WOW i LIKE THAT IDEA I DONT KNOW THE MEASUREMENT OF THAT BUT DEFINITELY WOULD NEED DRILLING TO FIT, I WAS LOOKING AT THE LOSI 2.0 BODY I BELIEVE ROOTAR LOWERED IT

He said lower the body mounts but you have to drill for the xt8 i still dont have a painted lid
