808 is out! >First conversion gets a prize :-)

Daf... I'll gladly pay you for a nice painted body, but I will wait untill the 808 bodies come in. I'll run one of my hack paint jobs on the stock shell untill I can get a nice one from you. Actually... now that I think about it, a paint job that would go with the Revo Desert Rat you did for me would be very sweet.

let me know if you can get it one the waiting list.

Why yes! Of course I can give an 808 your DesertRat treatment, would be MY pleasure... if only the dollar would rise again. At the moment, for me, selling to the states is not attractive at all. But I'll do it for you anyway, Jeff, always.

I hope JConc or PL will release an 808 body soon... the XRay 808 bodies look hideous, especially when they are unpainted. With the right sceme they look alright.

Drop me a PM Jeff, in a couple days... I'll check when I get the XRay bodies.

Cheers
Daf

Here are a couple more pics of the conversion. You can see the additional shims I had to use with the stock 808 center diff mount. I am swapping the 354011 XT8 mount in the car tonight, so I will only have one shim on each side. Weighed the car today without body, and it was about 7.2lbs. A nitro 808 without body was about 7.1lbs, so they are pretty close with the current equipment. The nitro car did have Crimefighters on it though, so I don't know if those are heavier than the Holeshots I had mounted.
