Zippy Lipos (still need to order)

Anything else guys.

Anyways, getting closer...now a little christmas prayer.

"Please god forgive for lying to my wife.....
for telling her that the MMM comes with the buggy.....
for telling her it only cost $200 total
for hiding my purchases on a seprate CC that she has no clue about
for telling her this car will never break like the other ones

and most of all for PROMISING her that this will be my last RC car I will ever buy!!!!

Please forgive me God.....Amen"

if my wife only knew...i probably wouldnt have one anymore.

Reminds me of the conversation on Thursday night... My six your old is annoyed because i get so many packages!

I think as long as I keep her thinking that she is "running the show" we will be good.

Wow looks like the link to conversion is not avail anymore??that sux.

Your not kidding on the flowers. Her christmas is going to be pretty sweet tho and I dont think there will be any complaints. Thankfully she is addicted to Tiffany like I am to my RC hobby.

Besides flowers just die and everytime I watch it happen I think that could of been a nice part for one of my rigs..lol. Im sick.

TY for the links Hoov again. Hows your 8ight build comming along??

I fixed the link....i must have copied and pasted it wrong.
RCM still sells the kit....i think...

As for my build...
....its built! lol

Ive been done for awhile actually. Nothing special or custom really. I just used the kit. Thats why I never really finished my thread that I started. I felt kinda ....meh ....posting about how I "converted" an 8ight to an 8ight-e, when all I really did was buy the Losi kit from Mike. I had it done in under an hour. No custom fabrication. No special tweaks or tips to really contribute to the forum, so thought I'd just let it fade away.

After reading threads like "what to do with a .5" I felt kinda amateur doing a write-up.

I'm glad to help others anyway I can. Offering opinions, or set-up help, but never felt like finishing the thread.

heres some pics tho if you're interested.....still need to paint a body...
