ok so i got my 8xl in lastnight and was VERY excited to get it going! ran in to a bunch of problems... lol... heres my story

1. right when i got it i realized i did not have a pinion the correct size.... had to find a freind who had the same size... that took about an hour...

2. when i was about to solder on everything i noticed i had no idea which wires went to which... had to look that up. took about 5 min

after i found everything out i started to solder it all together. no biggy... took about an hour to get everything wired up and clean looking (on the pos and negative i use deans plugs.. that took a little while...)

3. everything was wired up and ready to go except batteries. i plugged in my rx pack... dead... had to wait 30 min.

4. after waiting i went to put the batteries together and realized i did not have the custom y harness i made.. looked around for about 30 min and could not find it... i was pissed.. lol end of yesterday i went to sleep.

next day (today) i will have to make the stupid y harness again... lol there goes another 30 min (i take my time to try and get it looking nice)

about a 3 and a half hour job! gosh!

totally worth it though! ill get vids and what not later!

thanks for reading my essay! lol...
