Default 808 Conversion

I just completed an 808E using the monster conversion and tekin RX8 1900kv. We are planning on running a 4cell 4300 for a ten minute main.

We (Rocco) spent alot of time on the layout for balance issues to keep the handling characteristics as close to the nitro version as possible. I race for RC America (B Team) and Rocco came up with a really good layout with great balance and a very clean appearance.

We will both be running at the Pro-Series south in Bossier next week so we should have some good feedback on the cars after that week.
