I appreciate it bro and that thought has gone thru my mind a few times but starting back in the hobby I just want to go all new.
Not saying it won't happen but as of right now like I said earlier I just need to be patient.

Appreciate it man.

I drive the truggy for the first time Past Sunday and let me tell you it is the best truggy I driven so far.. Very planted and fast with no nervousness.. I used the base setup with some minor changes (2k in rear diff and 2° antisquat) the rest is stock setup!!! Very happy camper here!!!

Is the stock 8ight-t 2.0 body pre-cut for the gas and engine head holes? Kind of looks like it is from the pics on Amain but someone posted a pic earlier of it not pre-cut.

One more question. Do the DE Racing Mud Guards fit the 8ight-t 3.0 arms?

Hey guys, I picked up an 8ight t 3.0 and converted it to electric, if anyone is interested in the excess nitro parts lmk, I'll sell them for dirt cheap.

So I bought the kit Friday morning and assembled it at the track and converted it to e. I equaled 2nd ant took the win by a long shot. This truggy is amazing, super fast and easy to drive......
