OK Dwight you are BAD influence.
So I have a Lx-1E on the way and some parts to convert my 8ight to a street machine. (See one justifies the other

)
One thing I did wonder is if you have found a better replacement body. The Ofna clear stock one is expensive as hell for a buggy body close to 40 bucks plus shipping from Nitrohouse.com

So any suggestions would be appreciated as I am with you the stock all white shell is a little homely looking. In the immortal works of Al Czervik (Rodney Dangerfiled) from Caddyshack "it is so ugly I bet you get a bowl of soup with it."
