Here is my conversion. I made the mount out of 3/8 "L" channel stock that I picked up at the local metal mart. It mounts to the stock motor mount holes on the chassis. I wanted to be able to use smaller pinions because I'm using 5 cell packs and I'm looking for maximum run time. I also dont want it to be insane in the power department. I want it to have usable power, not do standing back flips. The Tekin system uses a 1700KV motor. I cut the 2 front fuel tank posts to allow the alluminum plate that the battery sits on to be screwed in to place. The LiPo is held in place with a single strap and velco under neath. This is the same way they lay in my 8E with no problems. The ESC will mount over a plate that I made and attaches to the chassis the same way the reverse servo did. The ESC will mount with velco as well to absorb some of the impact. I'm goint to be using mechanical breaks and I need to get a servo "Y" adapter.

The only thing I'm waiting for to run it is for Tekin to send me out a new board for the RX8 ESC. I also have a MMM 2200 system coming in shortly that I will use if the Tekin board takes a while to get to me.....I cant waite to run this thing!!!
