Hi Mader,
If you are looking to use the old pinion/bulkhead setup, there are a couple obstacles to clear with that conversion. I had an old XB8 EC electric conversion that I wanted to change to the 808 chassis and suspension, but using the traditional universal shafts/pinions moves the joints much closer to the center of the car and therefore increases the angle of operation. I was working with an electric conversion at the time which gave me some flexibility in positioning, but you may have clearance issues between the nitro motor and radio box since it is already pretty snug in that section. It also required moving the chassis braces to clear the new shafts. And you will need to make new shafts to match the chassis lengths needed on the 808 chassis.
If those obstacles don't turn you away from the project

, feel free to give us a call at the warehouse tomorrow as I think we have most of the older shafts still. We will be happy to help.
