Just a tip for whoever...

It's probably much quicker to access the screws by uscrewing the radio/servo tray and flipping it out of the way than removing the center diff. At least that's the case with the Losi 8ight.

Super slick build. Makes me want one :)

Finally painted the body. Now I really want to just look at it. Its too clean and shiny to run. :wink: I have only tested it in my garage. Haven't gotten a chance to go anywhere to run it yet...

Looks nice Josh!

That's clever...mounting the esc inside the battery tray. I would think that Mike could even cnc a tray that has two compartments...one for the battery and one for the esc. You might be on to something!

True... I still prefer to mount the esc up higher, especially the mmm because of the fan...the though being a little harder for dirt to get into the fan

I actually have a few times(see Slayer conversion picture attached). I even did one better on the slayer and put a rx compartment. :)

Looks sweet, Josh!

looks great

Very nice Mike. I wish I would have thought to ask you to make me one of the batt/esc trays for my latest conversion. Oh well.

Turned out great, Josh! Excellent body lines, they flow nicely.

Have you ran it yet?

I have only tested it in the garage to make sure the electronics were working. This weekend I will test it on the track for the first time.

Where you gonna be testing at this weekend? I wanna see a D8 in action.

I will be running it on Sunday afternoon (last hour or two before they close) at ARC Raceway. I wish I can race it on Saturday, but I am busy all day and Sunday morning...

Hey josh, i was wondering if i could get a pic looking down on the car without the body off- im trying to see how much clearance there is between the motor and rear brace.

Oops, sorry I missed your post bb. Do you still want the picture? I'll post an update on how the car is doing pretty soon.
