A new 8ight-T 2.0 is born
 

Not quite the build thread that others (Dave) have posted but...

Feel free to offer tips if you have them

very nice build

Looks good. I like the angled bullet connectors. You can mount your switch in the radio box. Just extend the wires a bit and shrink/ziptie them to the rx wires.

What is going on with the extra cap? Just adding to the bank?

I've got a TRX mount coming for the switch & I thought the extra cap might just be a good idea? the V2 has had plenty of Rustler speed runs through it

I think I'm stuck for out of the way cap locations? would an alloy brace work as a heat sink on a cap?

This shows the battery plugs. I'm going to mount some CF for the TRX to mount on, which should also raise the lowest motor wire above the rear CVD, it's a little close

looks good here are some pix of my 1.0 conv. my converted 2.0 is in the mail, cant wait!!!!!!

Nice conversion PBO.
What motor you using?

Thanks Oz, I'm using old faithful, the 1.5 - love my Neu!!

I've repositioned the cap & added an additional...a photo or two soon

Looks nice i just started building mine what gearing u running? I read somewhere robinson 48 an 16

I'm running 48/20, which is about the limit for my 4S setup I feel. I've given it the speed run torture test on grass, 2 x 3300 packs back to back & everything ran as warm as I like

I went to the track yesterday & noticed the MMM glitch at startup...it chirped but had no steer or throttle for about 15 secs. It came good & I was nannaing it around for a while, then mid jump (a small one) I lost throttle & rolled forward for a heavy thump on it's lid

Closer inspection showed a fet loose inside the MMM, it was easy to see because the MMM was in half! despite cable ties

Not sure if Castle will look at as a replacement but I'm thinking of an RX8. I may be forced to use my MM until resolved

Yeah that rx8 motor looks sweet :yes: Did you have to grind down the chassis to run that 48 thooth? I ask because i just picked up the robinson gear and it hits the bottom.

BRAID THOSE MOTOR WIRES FOO :whip:

I didn't need to but I'm using the Losi spur & I'm not sure if the RR is larger (I don't see how it could be?), which kit are you running?

I got the race roller. Yeah it's rubs at the bottom.
