That is a good question Id like to know as well. But if it's in the $70 range you can buy a elite mount for $70 that works just like the 8.2

Yes it will fit fine. The only real difference in the 2 chassis is +3mm

Thank you! I don't knew there is another option

Here you can see other options:

Elite RC

Grid RC

Is anybody running the rpm arms for the rc8be are they any better??

I got the RPM arms I would say there better then oem. But im converting to a 8.2 setup soon.

Let us know how that works out ... In the rear especially. I'd like those 8.2 mudguards.

I just got one of these, but I'm really new to the hobby and need some advice. My car has the Mamba Monster ESC and Castle 2200 kv motor. What would be the best LiPo for this set-up? Maybe an example of the best money can buy as well as what are the best bang for your buck? Oh and I'll be trying to learn to race and just running around if that makes a difference. Also to note I have an Passport Ultra Charger. Thanks for helping an excited noob!

better basher motor...
MMM 2200kv or 2650kv

will be on 4s Lipo.
Just wondering which will work out better.

I would suggest the 2650. On 4s it is stupid fast I run a 14 tooth pinion on mine on 4s and uncontrollable speed.

Nice and the 2200kv would be more torque and less top speed?

i have 4 rigs to get power for... just trying to figure out what i need lol

How do you guys wire the rx wire from a tekin rx8 to the rx box without getting tore up by the spur?

Pictures would be awesome!!

car is designed to run it under the battery tray and up over the front CVD i think. Just need an extended lead is all.

So I need to take off the battery tray?

don't quote me on it, but on both my ofna GTp2e and the SC8e i sold recently the esc wire runs under the battery tray. i have seen pics of guys who just hold it up on top of the diff housing with a zip tie. depends how clean you want it i suppose.
