Preparing for 808 2009 spec conversion

[Nek]

Good I've got my dremel handy and love using it haha.

There is this good place to order composite stuff from, cstsales.com Well I think I might order some 2mm cf accent panels for various purposes for my conversion. The ESC mounting tray could use some and I was thinking I could put a small plate under my RCM mount in the rear, and use the XT8 raised mount for the front, or even another cf plate under the stock front mount to be sure to have it all level. From what your saying 2mm should be enough right?

Would you mind also posting a few pics of your custom CF battery tray. I got one of mike's on order but have a few ideas on how I could make a very light battery tray out of CF. thx :)

Oh and u guys use 4 digital scales to properly weight balance your buggy, or you got some nifty tricks to do it in an easier way lol. I think I could get my hands on 4 scales for a few hours to do balancing tests...

I used 2mm under the RCM motor mount and the XT8 diff mount in front with no shims, that was just enough. Xray part 354032 comes in real handy for raising the mount. Its basically 2 premade 1mm thick shims for under the motor mount.

I dont use the cf battery tray any more. The RCM tray wasnt really much heavier and it was just easier to use and more durable.
