for those with the elite mount did you have to cut the top piece to get the spur to spin freely? i definitely had to cut mine!! and the screws provided worked except for the 2 bottom ones. i dont have a hex nor ball driver to fit that size! so i just used the stock bolts. you would think after spending 75.00 that they would tell you this prior to purchace!! or provide the top piece that actually fits!! but im satisfied fir the simple fact that you can mesh and remove the motor in a cinch!!
I also had to use different flat head hex bolts that go through the chassis into the elite mount. The stock RC8Be bolts were 4mm x 15 but they were too long. I had to use some 4mm x 12 flat head hex bolts from my Mugen screw kit to get the screws to tighten up and sit flush on the chassis.

Hi guys,
Does anyone know the difference in the screws between the rc8b and the rc8be? The reason I ask is that I'm talking to Lunsford about getting a screw kit, and as they have have no specific set for the BE, if I tell them the difference they'll modify the rc8b set to suit the electric.
Thanks

. But like I said, worse case scenario; I'll just throw it on my RC8B Nitro.

Question about the elite mount I just got.... with the pinion installed it is not lining up correctly with the spur....close, but not exactly. below is a horrible cell phone pic....
Am I good to run this like it sits until i can get a pinion with a shorter shank??

I personally would wait till I could get the correct pinion. That's one of my pet peeve's...spur and pinion alignment. The HPI and Hot Bodies pinions have a short shank so they should work...Losi pinions should work too. Good luck!

Robinson Racing pinions also fit perfectly. But they only go up to 20T.
I'll post some pics when I put it in next week.

They look great, even the pink one. Actually we have a guy that runs a hot pink, white and black scheme and I think it looks good. Do you paint your own bodies? I love to paint my own bodies, but my abilities and creativity are limited. My bodies come out looking nice and clean, I just can't create anything really intricate.
