8ight T 2.0e Build

[Overkill]

How's the build coming along? Have the guys at your track painted your body? Have you had a chance to run it?...........All these questions :)

Sorry for the lack of updates. Here is the current scoop...

While yesterday was the first day of Spring, it is still not quite spring like. The temp at my house this morning was 17 degrees. To remove the temptation of driving in either to cold or too wet conditions, I mailed my LiPo packs off to Lincpimp for conversion from 2s packs into 4s packs (my former truck used two 2s packs to form a bridged 4s pack.) Anyway you can see here that he finished:

And I'm just waiting for them to arrive.

As for the body, I was waiting there too to have it painted by a local guy at my track. The delay was that I wanted to have my new 8ight-E 2.0 and give him both bodies at the same time in the hopes of getting a near matching paint job. The 8ight-E was supposed to be out March 17th, it has been slightly delayed till April 6th (or so) and because of that I mailed the 8ight-T 2.0 body to my buddy for painting, if they don't match, oh well, you will never notice because they will be moving so fast!

My game-plan is to take her out for her maiden voyage next weekend. I will of course post photos and results. I don't think I've driven a Losi since the 8ight T first came out and even that it was a few gentile laps on a buddies nitro. Certainly never driven any of the 2.0 stuff...very anxious to see how it drives and how the durability is (not to mention the first run of the MMMv3.)
