New 1/8th BL project, need help.....

[supralover72]

This will be my first ever 1/8th scale bl project as I just got the funds. My buggy of choice is SET, it's an XB8 raycer. I love X-ray and I'm kind of priding myself in being the first one I've read of doing it to an X-ray buggy ;).

Anyways, I just need help figuring out the motor mount. I don't have any tools for cutting except a dremel, and I really want to do it myself.

Is there a faq for BL conversions? I really need to know everything I need to accomplish.

So far, the problems I have (without having the buggy yet) are:

Chassis flex in the center with no motor mount
Motor mount
Pinion on stell spur, will mod 1 pinions work?
Lastly, i have NO ideal what BL combo to use, but just the motor and esc have to be 300 or below.

Sorry for the long post and thanks for any info you can provide.
