This is my 3rd conversion using RC-Monster parts and as always I am 100 % satisfied with the parts.

The tare down.

It only took me 45 minutes to do the parts swap. All the parts fit like a glove.

I am waiting for the battery and servo to finish the build, then time for some video.

Very nice - the RCM stuff is just silly nice. Hope they start coming out with some other chassis kits in addition to the RC8 and RC8T.

Thanks man, Mike has some bad arse products. :yes:

Looking good Chip. Pity it will never see more that a shelf...:lol:

That's cold :rofl:

Man I love those RCM RC8 chassis'. I gotta keep myself from buying another rig though (it's tough looking at these).

Word!

We still running on Saturday ?

I wish Mike would make that same kit for an MBX-6.

Looks great! I love all the shiny aluminum. What kind of hex drivers are those? Did they come in a package as pictured?

The tools are by EDS Rc tools. The tools are a package that I put together. The guy a EDS will let you pick what tools you want. The tool kits start at 34.95 and go up to 450.00. I hand picked all my tools and had my name engraved on the handles for 190.00

I think Mike will make these kits for just about anything as long as you can send him a chassis to work from.

Really? I'd like to get one of his chassis's for my E-8ight. I know the 8ight already has the offset drivetrain, but I'd like to get one without all the extra holes and with the lowered COG.

Any word on this Mike?

Shoot him a PM - that's what I did when I was considering a chassis/kit for a buggy. He told me to send him the chassis to work something up. I'm sure he would love to have more kits for sale on the site.

baah I just bought and RC8 so I can run his kit.. I probably would have bought a losi otherwise.. just because my truggy is a losi..

Damn that RCM stuff is nice!

Yes sir, very. :yes:

any more pics..or video

I am wait on the battery to come in the mail.

very nice. My RC8T conversion from RCM is excellent. amazing weight balance even using a 4S PQ6000XP Pack.

I got the buggy all finished up and everything laid out where it needs to be. I just wished I had more room to mount the esc on the chassis. I am still waiting for the battery to come in the mail and I need to paint the body.

I am jealous nice buggy.. I hope mine gets here soon..

just a quick question. what gearing are you running. and what batterys are you going to be running.

Thanks.

Great looking buggy Chip. Mike does great work, I am always pleased with his stuff, except maybe the battery tray, it gave me some issues at first, but seems ok now, what's left of it anyway :lol: I look forward to video of this beast in action.

I am going to try 44/14 for now. I am using a Polyquest 4s5000 mah 25c battery.

Thanks man, I will get some video when I get a little time. :yes:

I had a chance to run the buggy today and it drives great. The temps after 10 mins of driving were 110 on the motor, esc was 115, and the battery was 107. I have it gear 44/14.

Just my little test video. :lol::yes:

Can you measure how far the end of the battery tray sits in comparison to the rear a-arm? trying to see how it compares to my current RC Product Designs conversion.
