Got my RCM conversion kit today and to my surprise this thing doesn't even come close to fitting. Have any of you had any troubles with this kit? I have an email in to Mike so we will see what happens.

So what baseline setup are you guys starting out with, put the finishing touches on my nitro the other day with chad p's setup and figure I will tune from there. Didn't know if that would be a good starter as well for the ebuggy or not, I run on your standard 1/8th scale track with a groove, not super high grip all the time but not loose very often either. All my stuff is on the way

Got my first race in with my RC Monster converted 811 and it handled like a dream! The conversion kit goes on nice and clean and is well balanced in my opinion.

Scratching my head here and it's not a huge issue, but this velcro strap doesn't even come close to going under the battery tray around my 4s while giving me enough to velcro it together

, is everyone ordering another strap or something?

Your welcome, you may want to get some velcro ahead of time as the stock strap wasn't long enough to fit around my lipo. I ordered the 12" ones from rcmonster which should work, a 10" was included in my kit.

Has everyone been OK with running the stock body? I remember having to run a JC 808 Illuzion body on me MBX6E.

I believe theres a picture of zixxer's e buggy conversion a few pages back that does have the stocker mounted on it.

I am really wanting one of these. Anyone here have any info on an actual Serpent E Buggy? Or is anyone interested in trading a 410r with tons of parts?
