RC-Monster XT8e!! - RC-Monster Forums

So... I just wanted to post a couple pictures of the XT8 chassis Mike and I have been working on. I've been running it a few weeks weeks now. Some of you at the RC-Monster bash saw it.

Just thought you guys would like a sneak peak at one of the good things coming soon from the Monster.

Basic changes from the stock XT8 layout. Offset center diff for better L/R balance. Steering servo converted from Lay down to stand up to allow center diff offset. Relocated rear chassis brace to allow for offset diff. Custom steering servo mount with integrated Rx tray and transponder mount. the chassis has pre-drilled mounting holes that line up with the Tekin RX8 esc and also has tapped holes that will allow the mamba Monster to bolt down to the chassis using the Traxxas esc mount. Simple and clean.

It uses the chassis length of the new XT8'09 model so if you want to convert one of the older XT8s you will need to get the '09 center CVD bones. Other than that it will bolt right onto the older model XT8 as well.

Very well balanced and super clean and easy to work on. I took the TQ and win with it at todays local club race. I was the only guy to pull 9 laps in qualifying in any class and I was able to do it twice.

That looks so sweeeet.
When will these be available?

Mike will have to answer that, but hopefully it wont be to long.

Is it much wider than the stock chassis?
Are they custom side guards?

Thanks

RC-Monster Mike · 09.09.2009, 10:46 PM

Soon - tweaking some things at the moment. Should be running mine this weekend, actually. :)

Well now I wet myself .. thanks a lot guys. really....

btw while you are at it, why not consider higher mud guards? that's like the last thing I envy guys with losi, they have like 3cm high mudguards at front.. sometimes I am running on wet track (no water, just wet)

(even without it, consider one more sold as soon as it's ready)
