Josh, if you can wait a little bit the Tekin RX8 system is going to be the ticket. I may be biased, but I don't think you'll hear much argument. Plus you'll have factory support right there under the same EZ-up. 
What am I doing in this thread?!?!? Oh, the sickness, the sickness. Don't think I'm ready to jump into 1/8 scale yet but I can live vicariously through you...

I know this is all I've been thinking about today. I think your right Reenmachine the R8X will be the speedo to have for this. I'm a bit suprised that Novak is so far behind all the other speed controls

Yep, but the really annoying thing is when a stupid turn marshall picks your car up and pulls it off the track, thinking it flamed out. Gunning the throttle and tearing up their legs is fun tho. Idiots should notice the lack of the big ugly heatsink head and realize it's electric.

OK, so like most people I don't have time to read the 15,600 posts on this thread. Is there a comprehensive guide on all this somewhere? Should we ban together to write a wiki on wikipedia on this?
Of course, we need to be able to cite sources on wikipedia and i'm not sure how open or unbiased current sources are.
Just thinking out loud.

Which body do you use for a converted 8ight? I'm going to be running the Losi conversion with the Neu 5S battery packs.

A little hard to find right now (there is one on ePay) but Losi will do another run of them soon. Fits the electronics and has nice air vents. Another option I have been considering is the JConcepts high flow--I think it is for the 2.0 but should still fit. Not to sure how well it accommodates electronics but someone in the 8ight-E thread posted one a while back and said it worked just fine.

Nice.. Will the stock 8ight body fit? At least temporarily? I guess I'll check e-blag and see what's out there for e-8ights.

I hear it will fit but with some modification. Many guys will also drill holes in the windshield or install screens. You might have further challenges getting a good fit with a larger 5S. I want Pro-line to make one for the Losi 8ight-E.
