Brushless Losi 8T 2.0

Ok, so I have pretty much posted this on every forum I visit but after a week of work and a ton of planning, well I am about as giddy as a school girl. Iit is almost done except for painting the body.





So, the mount, although it looks big, weighs a bit less than the "normal" one that everyone uses which flips the diff around the other way and raises it with the spacer. Took me 2 days to mill and I am not quite happy with it. I could have lowered the motor .100" and still had good clearence for the chassis to flex and the pinion to clear. I will probably make a new one later but I used the last of my 1/2" plate.
The battery is a "quick change" thing (I havent finished the latch though so no pic of that yet) so the battery stays with the battery tray, it just slides on and locks into place on the chassis. It is elevated slightly off the chassis so as not to inhibit the chassis from flexing. Total weight is 9.05 lbs and I could trim a bit of fat still from the battery tray and the mount if I want to. Should be about max 9 flat after body and paint and the fat reduction.
Weight is dead even Left to Right and is about .07 lbs heavier towards the rear.

Took it to the track Sunday to play on the snow (snow is frozen solid so you can walk on it). The thing is amazing. It could be geared a bit higher (running 16/50) possibly but it is planted, jumps perfectly and cornering, well, i was on snow, who knows. It cornered great in the snow.

Unfortunately the track is buried in 10" of frozen snow, I have alot of digging to do to get to try it on some dirt.
