Hey Calvin, Im pretty local to you, I live in Niagara Falls and I'm pretty sure I've met you at Niagara RC, I believe at the pro series finals. I am fairly new to the 1/8 brushless scene myself but have a pretty good setup going on in my CEN Matrix TR. I have gathered quite a bit of info that may be helpful to you, if you want shoot me a pm and I can give you a hand.
Rumors say that Xray is releasing an E-conversion for the 808 sometime soon *((crossing fingers))* would love to have the "factory" setup. Although some of you guys have some pretty sweet custom layouts!
