I am actually rather excited. This will be my first brand new 1/8 kit. Every other I have ever owned have always been purchased used. The first 2 weeks of ownership usually involved the rebuild/recondition of the roller before I could even start the conversion. It will be interesting doing it ground up this time.

I like the white mounts, is that plastic? Also the hidden wiring is very nicely done. That is a large motor!

...and a small battery.

I want an E-808....does/will Mike have a motor mount? Unlike many of you guys I don't have the skills to fabricate...

Anyone yet?

MacII, the EC/TQ and 808 center-bulkheads are basically identical. Only the height is different. Mikes mount works with some spacers I'd say. And I'm sure the Monster will do the 808 one too before long.

I'm putting my 1/8th buggy conversion on hold, rather I'm either converting a Revo or buying an E-Revo...however were I doing a buggy, it would be an 808.

I'd love to convert an 808. Probably depends on whether I can bring myself to sell my nitro savage. I am pretty keen to convert a buggy so I have 2 cars to race. I think I'll be more likely to buy a used roller though to keep costs down so I can do the conversion quickly.

Still waiting for the kits to hit the distributor here in the US. Then they need to get shipped to the dealer, and then I will get mine. Its already paid for, just waiting for it to arrive from accross the sea.

They are out all over Europe and most of the rest of the world, they just havent gotten here yet.

They are supposed to arrive at the distributor sometime this week and the get shipped to the hobby shops. If everything goes well, I just might have mine by the begining of May.
