will this mount be a direct drop in in a stock chassis?? http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...od=RCMRC8mount

is the drivetrain gonna hold up to 5s and 6s MMM 2200??

do u think this was a good buy?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT

thanks for any input

Yes that mount will work. You should check this out tho: http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...RCMRC8Tchassis

5/6s shouldn't be an issue.

Not a bad deal on the roller. Looks clean and taken care of.

Ok thanks I already saw that chassis but I'm kinda on a budget so the cheaper the better Lol. It's just gonna be my basher so hopefully it holds up pretty good any thing I should look out for??

I have raced with the RC8T with the RCMonster chassis for two years. One year on 5s and the last year on 4s. Also between seasons it has been a basher. It's a very strong truck, I did twist a driveshaft at the end of the second season and wore out a pin in the front center CVD shaft after the first year. I broke a shock in a bad crash, thats about it for parts in two years. There is normal maintence that needs to be done as well though like bearings and bushings, I also replaced the dront and rear diff housings before the start of my second race season because I had them and they are cheap.

Is the mount hard to install?? Does it come with instructions??

Nard Cox · 11.01.2010, 07:34 AM

It's very easy to do, you will manage

Ok thanks lol how did u like ur rc8t durability wise??

Nard Cox · 11.01.2010, 11:12 AM

It was great. Bashed it a lot and raced it one time. Only thing that broke was the rod end of a shaft during the race (head on collision with other driver). Video's

Ok, great vids man!!

I've bent my rc8t rear chassis brace and chassis, bashing. IMO due to the rear brace not being aligned parallel with the chassis, allowing the rear end to twist under pressure.

i bent my rc8t chassis and rear brace bashing as well, but i had the rc monster chassis with the parallel brace so...

I had the RCM also. Maybe I installed the blue FT brace wrong and/or the brace just sucks?
N.C. Does the plastic brace come with the RC8te kit?

Nard Cox · 11.01.2010, 02:36 PM

I see lots of people bending rear chassis braces, I've always used plastic and never had a prob.

Are chassis expensive?? Should I buy an extra one??
