Custom mini 8ight mods -

Hey guys, I got a mini 8ight about a month ago and thought i'd share the custom mods i've done to it.
First, I stripped everything out a slapped my extra vxl system and batteries from my mini revo in since it should put out a little more power and to sell the other electronics for some extra cash.
I knew I needed something to cover the gears asap so I stole some excess lexan from my e-maxx body before painting or cutting it. This has now been replaced by half of a Delrin gear cover (split in half mounting so I left the other half off)
Next, I needed to better battery trey since my batteries were too big for the stock trey.
I also needed a lot more room to work with under the body and wanted something that would help protect the body, so I cut and fitted body mounts off of my mini revo (spare parts from replacing the fronts so much) and ordered a thin revo body
I knew the wing would get torn up quickly due to wheelies and I hated that their is not rear skid at all so I got a t-bone racing rear bumper, cut it to a decent size, and mounted some cheap wheels I had laying around
