Update on the 8ight-T. The conversion went very smoothly, and today I got my first test run. I just ran it on a grass field. Anyway, after about 10 minutes, the pinion gear loosened and came off (easy fix), and then after another 10 minutes, as I was doing the last high speed run of the day with it, I lost all control. No steering, throttle, etc. So I guess I wasn't as lucky as I thought I would be, as I have two working MMM ESC's right now. But the 3rd died a quiet BEC death.
