What do you guys think? I know it looks just like all the other e-conversions. I might still get it and sell my Ve8 since I already have the Truggy to share some parts with it.

Plastic rear brace? And how much longer will the chasis be?
I hope they sell the reciever box part. I guess I'll go with the RCM kit and just add the box to my chasis.

Would you mind to share some pics? I'd like to get rid of the heavy Tekno but the RCM battery box is too small for my lipo's. I'd like to see how the Losi tray fits.

Go to 'elite rc 1/8 conversion thread post # 960....I got my pix posted there...after the enats at norcal this weekend, i'm gonna mod the servo/reciever tray and drop a clean looking losi box there also.

I dont wanna jack this thread so p.m. me if u cant find the photo.

I will post some shots of T.A.'s car running at the enats and post up here....stay tuned!

I dont care what it is, but I like all Mugen cars....I got 2 buggys, 2 truggies and an mtx4...go mugen maniacs!

What is this gonna mean "...dual or single battery holder"? Does that mean that you can run one battery on the left and one battery on the right of the drivetrain (Caster-esque)? If so, that is a huge selling point for me already!

Nah, 1x 4S or 2x2S lipo's. Google for some pics of the Kyosho MP9e and you'll see what I mean.

the esc hanging off the back just like the new 808 is a real turn off for me on both cars. 1/8th esc's take enough abuse as it is, heck rocks/mud and small dirt particles are gonna destroy the esc, i dont know maybey im just crazy

A little disappointing. It looks like my RC Monster conversion. I was hoping for a split battery setup like the Caster, I know it's a 5R. I will probably get one anyway. I might try the Hyper 9E also.

I dont like the battery tray or the esc sticking out the back.

You can also forget putting a 5s in there for fun as well

at a guesstimate, the extension is to the front of the rear diff, the front (centre) cv looks to be the same size as the normal mbx6
