Worlds First 808 Pro ”E”

[TDC57]

Forward progress continues,
The drive train is finally all complete, the rims and tires installed, I’ve got the ESC mount almost complete. I need to install the MGM and antenna mast, clean up some minor misc tasks and she’s be complete and ready for our So-Cal bash on the 24th.. I'm also liking jnev’s mud guards on his 8ight, might also try that..

P.S.
I went the hole 9 yards spent the $14.00 and bought the XRay towel.. I'm such a geek..








Have a great one and thanks for your time..

Nice work and nice towel, lol

Still missing bumpers . But it sure is looking great! Any chance you might have weighed it in its current form compared to your other 808? One last question, have you glued the tires yet?

I did that with my M18MT. Built it and tried to drive it without gluing the tires. I didn't think it would make much difference, wrong. I couldn't get the car to go anywhere.

Actually Shaun we are on the tail end of the move. We are still in San Francisco for another week visiting with other family members. We are leaving with the kids in tow for Hawaii on 02/August for a few days of paradise before the final leg of the trip. Vegas was great and we managed to win enought to pay for that leg of the trip, plus an extra $500 in our pockets. We just love Vegas.

I hope to take the kids on the Hawaiian ATV mountain tour for some outdoor adventure while we are there, and the wife insists on going to the Polonesian Cultural Center for the usual island tourist adventure so the kids get the full package. We will finally be in Korea by 07/August to move into the new house. All I know so far is that it is a 5 bedroom/ 3 bath that has been just refurbished. So at least there is a hobby room for the trucks. Thanks for the humanity support and don't worry we will be getting things rolling with the Maxx collection soon after we get settled. The boys are extremely anxious about getting started. I will get some photos up before Xmas for sure. Have a good one Shaun.

Couldn't you get a XT8 instead?( Assuming you have a X buggy already).

Nevermind. This thing looks KILLER!

Best of luck, friend!

Thanks DB.. It’s really too bad we live in different time zones, I would love to have the opportunity to bash with you and you’re totally assume 8eight buggy… I actulay think that would be good race, your 8eight against my 808.. For now I concede mainly because I cant drive to save my life on a track, Bashing however I’ll give you run for your money..

Hay Travis,
Thank you for the compliment!, No they are glued down, I missed you at work today, however you working tomorrow 2-7 so I’ll drop them off then for our usual deal (??)

As for the weight differences no not yet, but I did order a special scale that goes to the grams so I’ll have it all figured out soon.

For what it’s worth,
Per the replays I’ve received from the Teamxray site the total weight difference between the Alu and the stock is like 40 grams..

We’ll see..

Have a great one and I’ll see you in few hours..

Hey SHaun it is not that I do wish to share info/photos, but as you well know I have been a bit busy with matters of greater importance. We are in transit right now and not having the means or the resources to post up photos is a problem. It will be mid August before we are actually settled in to our new home and then we have to unpack all of the toys for me to have access. Sorry for teasing you, but life goes on. Plus I have to figure out how to post up stuff in the way of photos as I have never done that before. My skills are limited when it comes to the PC.

I do love the builds that I have done, but I am sure that there have been many just like them in one place or another. Still they are pretty cool to me. Sorry for pushing your patients to the limit, but I will get them up on here soon. Have a good day gents.

Thats a great looking set of buggies you got there Shawn! Now how are you going to decide which one to drive? Is one strictly for the track and other bashing? Or will you just use them both for everything?

Definitely looking forward to seeing them run though. My 8ight with the new motor may give them a run for their money though... The next SoCal bash will be sweet once we can get everyone there on one day with everyone's newly completed projects.

[jayjay283]

Wow Shaun nice, dig the contasting fighters. Just friggin awesome

You cant really bash a Xray, racing only I hope lol. That would hurt to see one bashed!

Those are both awesome buggies! You have some DEEEEEEP pockets to afford all that LOL
