I'm using a Kyosho. Just had to use a different o-ring, but it fits fine.

I know this is an old post, but I just bought an XT9 with the intention to convert it to electric right away. Can I ask what 4s battery tray you used? The XB9E battery tray does not line up with the XT9 chassis. I assume you had to drill new holes in the chassis to accomodate the battery tray?

Thanks . . . Matt

has anyone converted a xb9 2013
is the motor mount holes different distance apart from the xb9 2012
im trying to find info on how to do mine, but everyone seemed to convert their xb9s pre 2013

xray original parts to convert the xb9 2013 to electric come at a cost of over $200USD and i have to get them shipped to australia...

asked xray and they pretty much refuse to make a conversion kit
they have all the parts in production already, all they have to do is bag them up and sell for a decent price. but no go there.

any help here would be apreciated
cheers guys

there is no issue using the 2013 chassis.. everything fits right up.. not a fan of having to fan the body out.. but.. i found the proline 8.2e body fits really good on the wider chassis..

i have converted a 2014 XB8 allready.. and its a good fit..

Ran mine yesterday and its really sweet.
Only problem is massive chassis flex, but thus can be overcome with carbon motor mount top plate and metal chassis brace I rekon.
So for people in Australia like me who find rc monster way too expensive cos of shipping
I used an Integy xb808 electric conversion kit $60
Only used the motor mount
Losi 8ight e 2.0 battery tray $20
I chopped the original receiver box
To those who say you have to cut it so much that it leaves the back end open, I say you cut too much, mine is fully intact and fits a treat
I also raised the center diff & motor mount by 2mm with some plastic strips I glued to the chassis, this also helped to cover a big exposed hole in the chassis, keeps the dust out
Lastly i raised the body mounts rather than buying an FTW body. I just used a serpent truggy rear body mount for the back & a random piece of plastic from a losi (I think fuel line stuff) for the front

I'm really happy with it, drives great, nice clean simple layout

if anyone still has the nitro specific parts of the XB9, let me know.. I would be interested in buying them

After some digging, I think this is the car I own now! ! Any pointers on bodies? Currently have the K2RC conversion with a 5000 turnigy battery and none of my bodies line up well. Hoping to race at Mikes this weekend.

Here's the car currently

Looking at your car, I'm not sure what it is that you have, but I don't think it's a 9e. I have an XB9E and it has a different top plate, motor mount, battery tray and side pods/mud guards. However, it does appear to have the same arms and towers. I guess it could be a frankensteined conversion using parts from other brands, but I'm not sure. It doesn't look like an XB808 either.

Ahhh, okay I see, I've just made myself look like an internet idiot. You meant you have the K2RC conversion, sorry about that, I thought you were asking what car you have. That's a nice looking conversion, I like all the carbon.
