XRAY - Model racing cars

I have brushless XB8EC (back up to my other brushless 808)
I like the durability of the XB8(Diffs at the most) and the handling of the 808 so I've decide to combine both of them into one Buggy.

I bought a very cheap 808 nitro roller and transferred all the Arms Towers and steering element over to the
EC Chassis. I kept the EC center drive lines and DIffs.
I like the results, plan to test is on this weekend.

Removing the 808 parts:


Conversion in progress:

With the nitro body of the 808 nitro roller:

was this a bolt on? very interesting. waiting on a race report:-)

Almost direct bolt.
I had to drill the chassis for the steering plates.

hummm, im waiting on either the 808e to show up or rc monsters 808 chassis. i just may try yo0ur idea with mikes chassis as i still have my first xb8.

any testing yet?

Not yet, my ESC failed after the 1st lap.
once fixed I will try again.
