Yeah, the motor that he got was definitely an L can motor. I compared it to my 8L and they are the same length.

All was not lost. Although this setback back a PITA, and an expensive one at that, we got to work on the buggy today. We were able to adapt one of the motor mounts that I made for my Turmoil to his 8ight. All we had to do was spin the diff by 180 and pop a couple of new holes. It came together nicely. I just ordered an 8XL and a MM controller with heatsink from Mike. We will definitely be running by next weekend.

The only thing that I don't like about this ending is that I know, when it's all together, driving that 8ight is going to make me want to throw my Turmoil in the garbage. That's the way I felt when I first drove an XB8 anyway. I have a feeling that the 8ight is going to be even better.
