808 is out! >First conversion gets a prize :-)

Dang drift_buggy... I was just going to post those and here you went and beat me to it. Thats mine. Ran it today for the first time. LOVE IT. The new 808 just feels like a precision instrument. Absolutely the smoothest, easiest to drive buggy I have ever touched. Freakishly light at only 7.18lbs ready to run with battery and body. Over a full pound lighter than my XB8EC.

I used a EC center diff mount so it was the same height as the RCM motor mount. But I got a note from Mike a day or so ago and he said he has a new Xray mount comming out very soon for the 808. The right height for the lower center dif mounts and slots long enough for low tooth pinions and the 42T center gear. Also a cool new feature will be its 2 piece, meaning that you can take the top half off like the stock diff mounts making it easy to get to the center dif for service without taking out the wholee motor mount and motor assembly like with the current motor mounts. I'll be upgrading when it comes out.

Specs:
Xray XB808
RC-Monster Xray mount and servo tray
Custom made CF battery tray
Neu 1512/2.5d
Tekin R1Pro
5s 4350mah PQ lipos
Geared 42/15 (about 40mph)

DAF... what does second place get? (kidding)
