Default 1/8 Buggy Pic Thread

hey guys,

haven't seen a thread like this (if there is one please just delete this one of the mods haha) but i was hoping you guys would post some picks of your buggies as i'm trying to get an idea for a good layout and some new body paint idea... figured this would be a good way to figure it out is too look at what you guys have already done. Cheers

-Jim

In chronological order:
Losi 8ight conversion - no pics I'm afraid.
Hyper 9E


Hot Bodies D8E V1



Hot Bodies D8E V2

XB808 (most recent and most successful).


Unfortunately, I haven't got any pics of my XB808's bodyshell (and it's gone now ), but it was brilliant.

I'll have to see if I can find any...

Thanks, just wait until you see my new one!

I really wish I had some pics of the 808's body - it is just brilliant (if I do say so myself). Unfortunately it's gone now.

Default My losi 8ight T-2.0 Brushless conversion



No underbody pictures yet still working on it. Have a mamba monster 2200kw combo along with hyperion 4s lipo. Will update as it progresses.

This was my first conversion, an 8ight buggy with a Feigao 9L(replaced later by a Neu 1515) and a Mamba Max, 3S lipos:






Next, my Xray 808 v2009, with a MMM 2200Kv, still on 3S:





As you can see i didn't improve my painting skills...



I put the rear shocks on its original position eventually:



And the las thing i did was taking the ESC to the front:




Now, a little preview of the next step:




Rear shocks are going back to the front, and a carbon chasis is on the works. Is one of the lightets buggy's and it's going to be even lighter


PS: Sorry for the crappy iphone pics, it's all i've got :S

Some nice conversions there - like the sleeving JonyNitro.

-Rcrcrus, I'd shorten the motor wires if I were you - less resistance, and less interference.

New body, nothing fancy but works
