the motor mount will fit but im not too sure on the battery tray. i used the rc monster mount and servo tray it works great and also the rcmonster battery tray. it allows me to move the battery where ever i want to fine tune the chassis. plus its cheaper then the rcproducts parts.

nice, i liked the losi but i hated the plastic getting sloppy all the time, this is my first electric conversion so i have high hopes for it

Mikes new chassis for the RC8T was sick. Both his RC8T and RC8 chassis should be out any day now. He was just waiting for annodizing last week when he was in town. If you are planning a RC8T I would hold off a few days or email Mike and see when he will have them ready. Its a sweet clean and very balanced setup.

can you link me to the tray that you are using and is the new conversion mike is working on going to be sold as a kit

jhautz · 10.25.2008, 01:58 AM

Not sure if he is selling it as a whole kit or what. but I would imagine he would. The chassis is a new chassis plate and front chassis brace and top plate, add the motor mount and servo mount and battery box and you have a kit I guess.

The chassis moves the center diff off to the side so you can center the battery better on the chassis and get good ballance.

sorry for all the questions, i am new, do you still use the spur that comes with the rc8t kit or do you swith it with a plastic one like some other conversions do, again sorry for all the dumb questions lol

i emailed mike a little while ago and he had said it will be available like the crt .5 combo or seperate pieces , i dont know if he will have the battery tray as an option or not , but i THINK it is

also said about the same time frame .... so any day it should be up

i picked up a motor mount for my rc8 from a rctech member but will get one of these chassis when they become available
