I honestly think that unless you plan to run RC Pro, Texas or that other nitro series that was soooo well organized that converting your 8ight is the best way to maximize your fun time. Of coarse, I'm biased because I want another electric to run with when we can't race with the nitro's at organized events occurring at our local tracks. If you parted with the OFNA and your nitro engine you could partially bankroll a battery tray and MMM or RX8 when they become available. The RC Product Designs top plate is perfect for mounting your current MM in the 8ight. I responded on your other post about batteries. See ya next race day.
