Sc8 Conversion Finished

awesome build. i just picked one up over the weekend. What size pinion are you using?

I'm currently geared 16/46 w/ MMM and a Neu 1515 1/y/f....any higher and the wheel spin is too much..well....depending on your track....but I put a 19T for asphalt speed runs and it FLIES!!!....and (i believe some on here already mentioned it) the tires screech when you turn and it sounds just like the real thing!!!

Sorry to revive the dead... But does anyone know how thick the Lexan is on the SC8 bodies? And if all the bodies, painted or unpainted are the same?

I converted my Slayer to an e-slayvo using the Erevo chassis... And only the SC8 body will fit right. I still don't see how though.... Cuz the SC8 body is like 25" long... Which I think is longer than the Erevo all together.

Will a set of badlands buggy tires clear under the body?

the diameter and widths of the tires on the sc8 are just slightly smaller in dimension on the sc8...liks probably a couple millimeters...and by the way if you saw how dirty my truck was last week I highly recommend AMSOIL power foam engine cleaner....I waited 2 days before I cleaned my truck and the mud was caked on and hard....I sprayed this stuff on it...let it soak for about 5 min...came back and everything hosed right off...its clean again yay!!!and i went the extra mile and coated everything in RZ-50 (its a dry film lubricant) so nothing sticks when it goes mudding!!...again...

The savings from amain is good, but my wife would absolutely kill me. I was thinking more along the lines of using a $60 off coupon code at tower and doing the 3 payment deal. It only ends up being about $38 more, but I would get to keep my rear-end intact.
