that thing should be on my doorstep tomorrow atleast i hope it shows if not i guess ill have to wait till monday....until then i will drool over this picture

Rootar did you preorder?
If so were do we go to do that? I have a new in box XT8 that I wont let myself open until I have that frame in hand. I had to buy a used XRAY buggy 2009 spec (already converted to brushless with RCM stuff) because I just couldn't wait anymore.

MIKEEEEE please... i want this chassis, and i need a 808 motor mount :)

[RC-Monster Mike]

They will be ready together - all the parts are currently being anodized. :)

are you going to anodize them to pink? since that would be just awesome!

I have to say, it looks incredibly clean and mudguards are way bigger than on standard chassis.

Mike do you have pricetag already?

[rootar]

w/e the cost is itll be worth it! the new motor mount and all the extras are EXTREMELY nice, and everything has been milled down to be very light.

ill get more pics later, its been finished for a day now but im having terrible computer trouble.

[magman]

Love the engraving...as always, stunning work Mike!

[rootar]

computer is working ok so i figured i post up some pictures.

I cant believe im gonna put that uglyass body on there I still need to drill my new body mount holes hence the foam hold the rear up.

i may also put a polished top plate on it to go with the hubs, blocks, and chassis stuff.

Hey Ross. looks good. What body is that? The JC bulldog for the rc8t?

[magman]

Looks nice all together. I have been looking for a used XT8 and have not come across one I like as of yet.

[Marvin]

With the slipperential, are you using the 50T spur or the 46? Or the new Mod0.8 58T?

Looks fantastic though - I'm tempted to get an XT8 rather than convert my TRF801XT now...

[rootar]

its the proline body for the rc8t. doesnt fit perfect but im gonna use it.

thats the 58t mod.8 spur i will prolly put my stock center in there with a 50t mod1 plastic spur, as the slipperential will go back in my 808.
