I just got finished building an RC8Te, I had gotten a good price on it and figured why not and slowly collected the upgrade parts off eBay that I wanted to add. I have been quiet disappointed, I wish I had gone with the Mugen. So in a last ditch effort to save the build I am replacing the AE conversion with Mike's kit. My chief complaints about the AE conversion is the motor mount (I could not get my Castle motor in without using more force than I wanted too or thought should be required.) and the cramped layout. They seem to have over thought it, Mike's is cleaner. And I am not trying to push Mike's stuff, just think it is better, hoping to save you the frustration I am having.
