:surprised:Strange I am doing my xt8 conversion and the bottom of the chassis hits the diff when i tighten the diff rear to chassis, when I loosen it, I can then move the shaft? what gives

OOPS suicideneil figured out before I inspected it thouroughly I set the diff the opposite way and not into the groove in the chassis oops and gotta get it done I want the 1717 castle:party:

Glad you figured it out:lol:

Now what the center diff is hitting what did i miss ?

Bottom of diff original xray to xt8 havent even put it together yet and its already bottomed out:neutral:OK gurus what gives Suicideneil probably already knows

Hard to tell from those photos- use the macro setting ( little flower ) to get a good in-focus close up. I'd also go ahead and intall the rest of the unit to see if it rubs anywhere else, but I'd definately say that spur looks huge- what tooth count is it?

Scratch on the RCM chassis from not putting the diff in the correct way OOPS:whistle: the other day what the hey:neutral: first build> ok thats what the grooved area is for LOL:oh:thats bottom part is my leg since you guys are quick to pick apart lol

48T original maybe I should get RCM slipper

After further extreme close observation reailize the bracket with the square goes under the center diff to give clearance and the build continues

:lol:

Oh well, figured it out in the I guess.

:intello:Yeah thanks sometimes you have to step away to realize a break a beer ok a shot

Is the Rear supposed to have a little droop

both the front and rear should have some droop.

Can I use UE supershocks on my xt8 whats your opinion?

Save your money. The UE shocks aren't any better than the xray shocks.

Hey guys need your help is the servo arm supposed to sit this far back, I thought it should sit at 9:00clock position Am I supposed to get a shorter link

You need the 09 spec steering link the 09 spec radio tray sits more forward on the chassis you can cut that one down and re-thread it to fit

I ended up using and old lunsford turnbuckle I had lying around for mine.

Ok thanks guys I guess I can scrap something up that fits shorter

Am i drunk or is the radio plate plastic?

your drunk and its plastic lol

Nice.

Still not much pics...:lol:

the conversion is RCM XT8e and its not plastic that was a piece of tape that I used to hold screws so I wouldnt lose them. I will post pics later

this is the partial build still so far there have been mistake but cant wait to finish slow build as for electronics I am going to purchase a speed controller and radio if someone has a castle for or spektrum at a nice price

couple more pics : Since I purchased this quark 125 I might have to use it not sure I never used it so it can cut down on cost ,I purchased AKA tires Hate gluing tires, Neu 1521 1y

ok So I have to paint the body never have done one and use a spektrum,I think the controller is to big Besides being ancient SUICIDENEIL:lol: I know castle or 1717 but I spent too much already, tHANKS fOR RCM AND ALL THE GREAT MEMBERS HAUTZ, HAVOC ,BRIAN, AND EVERYONE ELSE I FORGOT

Having a hard time finding a nice painted body for my xt8 I was taking a look at FFR awesome paintjobs but I was looking for one for bashing

Me too, I have been watching e-bay for a painted MBX6T bulldog body with no luck..

I just let one get away didnt like the color though blue with yellow I am thinking of spending 100 dollars to get one done custom from FFR but hate to bash it afterwards

Can you take the center diff in and out with only taking the 4 screw off the top of the diff? I couldn't get my mine in without loosing the servo and the big plate that holds the receiver..

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.
