I have looked into this and a lot of people told me that there is not much more to it besides putting a late model on and maybe changin the set up on the suspension. I could be wrong because I have never done it

That's about all it really takes! I have a bumper and body mounting kit that bolt on with no mods needed. They only thing that I would think about doing is possibly putting on Big Bores if you don't already have them. Otherwise the stock RC8 is fine. Here's the link:

AE RC8 Oval Conversion Kit...

In the middle somewhere is a picture of my RC8 LM, and at the end is a picture of the kit. They are $75 shipped, and I also have (1) C&M Late Model Body that I could sell as well for an additional $40. Let me know if you want a kit, I have (5) left.

The L8ight is a great car but an RC8 will make a very competitive car as well, just takes more work than taking it out of the box and going racing like you can with the Losi. Hopefully Associated will follow suit with an RCL8 model.
