Sc8 Conversion Finished - 11.11.2008, 05:00 PM
Nothing too fancy, but i think that its the first completed one on here...it has the chassis of the rc8T but the complete front and rear of the rc8 plus some bumpers.....somes pics:

I used an extra Losi 8ight-e battery tray that I had laying around...i just attached it to some pieces of delrin then attached it to the chassis via the delrin.....I'm using a Neu 1515 1/y...MMM....on 4s 5000 zippy's geared 15/46 (it comes with the 46t spur)
I'll report on handling, jumping, etc...etc...etc..once I run it tomorrow...pretty straight forward conversion.....
BTW...this was my first brand new out of the box from the hobby shop RC since my first stampede....

Looks good.

Wait until you drive this thing on the street!!!!

It sounds SOOOO cool. Since the nasty nitro whine is gone, you can easily hear all of the tires screeching. Hit the brakes and AWHHHHRR... The skids are sweet. Turn to the side really fast and the truck sways from side to side (very scale looking)!

But the tire noises are the coolest!
