Will I be able to mount a RC8T Bulldog body to a MBX6T?

Most bodies will fit other chassis if you just work around the shock towers and body lines....
See if someone you know has the 8T body you like and lay it on your chassis to check it out before you buy.

I wonder if someone can help me.. About 6 months ago I remember seeing a motor mount on an RC8 that was an after market item. One part bolted to the chassis and basically goes where the AE blue mount mounts, and another part bolted to the motor. This allowed you to slide the motor onto the mount then nip it up and get a perfect gear mesh. I remember it also was designed so the motor sat up, unlike the AE mount that mounts the motor level.. Can someone tell me who makes it? I thought RC Monster did it, but I'm having trouble finding where I saw it..

I notice you use shock socks on all your rides, I'm guessing you find them to be very helpful. Which ones would you suggest?

I have a RC8Be on order and was looking at getting some of these also.

On your MBX6T with the RC Monster conversion. Are you using the Tekno battery tray? Does the tekno tray bolt on to the stock chassis? I'm thinking of swapping out the RCM tray for the Tekno version so I can use that extra strap that goes length-wise on the battery.
