I recently got an rc8t and converted it using MMM/Neu 1515...blah, blah, blah...you get the point....when i first saw the 8ight-t 2.0 i thought that the bosy was the ugliest thing i've ever seen

....then i realized that it was the paint job and colors that i didn't like

.....so to make a long story short, i got a 2.0 body sized it down, moved the rear body posts down, and this was what i got.....I think it looks pretty cool...

let me know what you guys think!

I looked at the pictures and then had to read the post... that is awesome looking.. I will have to do for sure since I can't afford the actual 8ight-t 2.0.. I kept looking at the wing thinking it looked like AE.. Nice paint job..

Sweet paint job, but in my book, that body don't look right.

strodedawg · 04.13.2009, 09:32 AM

could you post a template where you drilled the holes for the body mounts?

hootie7159 · 04.14.2009, 12:43 AM

and a couple more to show how low the body is from the chassis and how the body looks after 3 days worth of track runs

Mannn that is nice.

Great job on the paint, it really looks good.

strodedawg · 04.14.2009, 07:13 AM

thanks, will do the mod tonight, did you just use longer screws?

hootie7159 · 04.14.2009, 11:09 AM

Yeah..longer screws ...not sure about the length... Just make sure that they thread deep into the body mounts and that if/when you cut down the length of the body measure twice cut once....

strodedawg · 04.20.2009, 07:36 AM

just got the body today, will paint and mount this week and post some pics
