just got my 8ight-e body off of ebay and it looks pretty sweet....there is a lot more clearance for the batteries now....the biggest pack i own is a 4s 5000 neuenergy and there is still a couple more mm's of space between the battery and the body...definitly better than the battery actually touching the body....AND all the body si already trimmed and the cooling holes already cut out...all you have to do is paint it....
Will you post some picutures of it when you get it painted? Sounds nice with the extra room.
yeah there is a lot more room for taller batteries...but i work for 48hrs straight so i won;t be home until friday morning and will post pictures of the clearance then....all i have are these pics that i used to show my cousin my paint job/sticker applications
the 8ight-e bodies are now rounded outwards at the bottoms of the windows where the batteries used to touch in the old bodies...
