Also, you guys have been at this (manufacturing stuff) for a while so is it possible to get a price point for the conversion? I've got dead presidents clamoring to be set free and I'm anxious to send them in your direction. C'mon boys give us the dollars and sense for equipping this beauty!
Here the deal on the 808E. The 808E is based from the 2010 drivetrain. The 2010 drivetrain was not XRay's best idea since it used the conical pinions which, as some of you may know, can be kinda problematic. Not for everybody and maybe not for the sct but they have been known to have issues in the past. The other issue with the 808E is that it uses 808E only parts. Motor mount, drive train parts, center dog bones, etc. It is basically not a good platform for either 1/8 e buggy or the sct conversion. You can use some of the parts from the 808E and they will work but they were untested in the prototyping due to the proprietary parts it needs.

As for pricing it is all coming soon to you guys. The last big race for the prototypes is The Dirt next week and K2RC is getting ready to leave out of here on Monday for the race. The moment he gets back, the plan is to hammer this thing out and get ordering started. He was already obligated to this event so he has to focus this one last thing before he seriosuly buckles down on the XSCT sales and information.
