gixxer, do you mean to say that your motor will be mounted on the forward portion of the chassis with the battery on the opposite side? That sounds like a good setup.

What does "anyday now" mean? A week, two weeks, more? I haven't even taken the truck out of the box yet. I promised myself that I wouldn't until I had the Muggy ready to sell. When I get that out of the way, I'll be pretty impatient about getting the 8ight up and running.
