I don't think so, the SCTE is literally built like a tank! The driveline definately isn't weak at all... Unless your running a 2650 on 4S then yeah it's weak then! BUT most of us run on 2S so it's plenty rugged for us who stay within the rules for the class... IMHO Losi hit it outta the park with the SCTE!

But if you gotta convert an 1/8th scale good luck! You definately could run wth the 1/8th scale SCT's like the SC8. Wouldn't really be fair to group you with the 1/10th scale sct's.

1/8 SC is 1/8........1/10 is 1/10......So why try and put a 1/10 body on a 1/8 Conversion ?

i have an 8e the original 8 converted to electric. i'm not going to buy a new scte to run a handful of races so i plan on trying to convert it to sc. i plan on running the 10th scale hexs and wheels. so how is that unfair its the same tires, same body basically the same thing as a scte. does a company coming out witha new kit when you just bought what was popular last month make it unfair. no its called evolution.what happened to the days where you where congradulated when you where smart enough and had the ingenuity to create something different and competitive

Honestly if the vehicle fits the dimensions required of the class, I don't have a problem with how it started out.

The answer is a converted 8 won't fit the dimensional requirements of the class.

eper

iTrader: (14)

what are the dimensions?

ta_man

iTrader: (168)

I don't remember all the dimensional limits (you can find them on ROAR's web site) but I do remember the width limit is 296MM which is approximately 11.65".

Because a 1/10 short course truck shares the same wheel base as a 1/8 buggy. A 1/8 SC like the SC8e has the longer wheel base like a 1/8 truggy and requires a longer body.

Good luck getting 12mm hexes on a 8mm Axle Cuz it ain't gonna happen. You'd be better off sticking with some 17mm SC wheels From DE Racing.




wheel base Maybe, Track width No. Most tracks Wont allow Conversion's to race with 1/10 anyways. Not to mention the fact if your trying to run on the "class limit" of 2S, you'll struggle with getting enough power and dealing with the heat that is associated with a Heavy 2S set-up.

i dont see how a losi 8 is heavier then a scte they are basically the same vehicle as for getting 12mm hexes on a 8mm axle i dont plan on it i plan on using scte axle stubs but until the parts i've ordered arrive its all talk till i can make it work which is yet to be seen

The 8 is heavier than the SCTE because essentially everything on the 8 is bigger than the equivalent parts on the SCTE.

That is why they are two different cars.

As ta_man said 1/8 is 1/8 weight.....1/10 is 1/10 weight...pretty simple when you look at the cars side by side.

Re Axle stubs. I can already tell you that's not gonna work. 1/8 CV's themselves are larger and wont fit into the SCTE Axle.....You really should have inquired a little more before ordering parts that Aren't going to work.

i got a real good price and could sell them for more then i payed for them to be honest. i purchased all the dog bones bearings knuckles spindles everything from the outdrive to the wheel for all four corners for 40 buks brand new so im not sweating it. plus i'm pretty creative and have access to machine shop so like i said earlier we will see. if it dont work maybe i'll just buy a scte and put my diffs in it

Lol again the 8ight is 1/8, SCTE is 1/10 there's No way anything's going to fit. The Outdriver are a lot larger on the 8ight than the SCTE and there for the SCTE Drive shafts will be Way too small to work properly.


Just BUY a SCTE and be done with it. Your going to spend a lot more than you think trying to re invent the wheel.
