elc. conversion project done right... with an 808

its going to be pretty exensive to do a 7 pound electric 808. my nitro 808 weights 7.2 pounds. and it is stock. and i know the electric stuff is going to weight more and xray hop up parts that lighten it are not cheap.

but good luck and if you do get it to 7 pounds. good luck controlling it lol. i have a little 3 port motor in mine that can keep up with any motor. even my buddys crazy modified nova's

I'v got all winter to buy stuff and I won't be keeping any recipts

the list
one off custom chassis/batt box
TI turnbuckles
alloy "balls" that go into the rod ends
CF front top plate
alloy axles


whats everyone think about useing standard 14mm shocks instaid of BBs???

what about a CF motor plate?

from what I'v read, I can melt the resin and "bend" the CF with a heat gun, right?

get the new xray 5mm turnbuckles. they are 50% lighter then stock and get all the lighten outdrives. those are going to save up a bit of weight too.

all i want to get for my car is the lighten outdrives but i think if i do im going to be to light to race in any big event lol. im currently at 3280g and the lightest you can be is 3200 lol.
