hotbodies Ve8 pics

Im loving the Ve8. All the 'heavy' components on the left side isnt much of an issue since its very close to centerline, and the servo's and esc are pushed farther right. The suspension handles great! One thing I dislike is the fact that the Neu/Castle 2650 motor shaft sticks out into the battery tray. I glued some stiff foam to keep my batteries back towards the back. I use Elite 5000mah 4s and they have a half inch of room to spare in the 'small battery tray.' I just finished tweaking some camber and toe settings and will give it a run here when my TX batteries finish charging. I also changed some ESC settings as I noticed the car was noticeable slower than my RC8 with the same components. Maybe its the gearing, as Im running 16/50 (geared for ~35MPH).

Ve8 uses truggy style high ratio diff gears, your have to gear to compensate.
