Forward progress continues!.

MetalMan has finished up the motor & ESC mount and I'm now have a wild hair up my a$$ to convert this XB8 into an 808, so lets see what does and what does not transfer over.

808 parts that Do fit!
• The front and Rear shocks
• The front and rear shock towers
• The front and rear turn buckles
• Rear lower A-arms
• Rear caster blocks

808 parts that Don’t fit!. (Sure mods are possible, but weren’t considered)
• Front A-arms
• Front caster blocks
• Front steering setup

Here’s some work I did that killed me!, I took my new alum aftermarket front and rear shock towers for my 808, striped them and polished them up, I’ve got to stick with the “Bling” theme. I was actually contemplating striping down the shocks and polishing them up, but that’s just taking things too far at this point. That should happen once I’ve purchased a proper motor (1512 2.5 Ds) then I’ll probably and strip them both down & polish them all up @ once!. Achieving the ultimate Bling.. HHHhhaaaa hhaaaa..

So here is a shoot of all original parts removed, these will be saved in a plastic bag for possible use in the future. I wish I had a scale!, all of these parts I'm guessing equal well over a pound.
