Ok, I have seen a couple of 8ight-T conversion on this forum and they are very well done and inspired me to convert my T. I started with the Losi 8ight-T race roller and the Losi conversion kit. I added a MMM 2200 combo and a NeuEnergy 5s lipo. First a review of the roller, I opened the box and noticed the tie wraps holding it down were broken, I have heard others say this was due to rough handling and could also damage the shocks, I disassembled the shocks and they seem ok. I removed all the nitro gear and both the front and rear bulks. I noticed the rear diif had a serious bind in part of the rotation so I took the diff apart, both to check the fluid level and to see if the diff was put together right, sometime the guys at the factory don't tighten the screws holding the bevel gear properly which can cause binding. I reassembled the diffs and the bind was gone. I wanted to use a Robinson wide spur so I cut a small channel in the chassis for clearence and everything bolted together without any issues. I ground down the Losi rear motor support so it would fit the thicker MMM motor.
