Losi 8IGHT Brushless Kit and ESC/Motor Combos

[Finnster]

Cool, they have a $80 conv kit too for the 8. That motor mount looks suprizingly similar.....

Does anyone see the the esc only price? It just may come out before the MMM does. Novak is the one really screwed here tho. The HV system just looks like a dinosaur. I don't understand what they are doing trying to milk that thing out w/ "5mm upgrade" kits when now the OEMs have better controllers. Nice going losi (and nice to see they got it out before TRX ;) )

Novak can and will milk the dinosaur because Bob Novak is the ROAR motor committe chair and he wont approve anything thats better than Novak re: Castle. He's going to have a harder time telling Losi thier stuff cant be approved. It really makes ROAR look bad.
