Here is a few pics.

8ight-T E 2.0 w/ MMM and 2200kv, ThunderPower 5000mah 40C, JR 9100T, JConcepts Illuzion Punisher body




8ight-E 2.0 w/ MMM and 1800kv, ThunderPower 5000mah 40c, AE DS1015, Proline Slipstream Body




Figured I would throw in this of my Slash 4x4 PE, since it matches. All stock, Proline Hardcore body




Here they are at the track the other weekend.

Was in Denmark, not the UK - anyway - noone wants to stand up all 45 minutes. Drivers hardly made any mistakes plus it made it easier to see the track, not having marshalls blocking certain parts of it. It was indoor since the entire country was covered in 50cm of snow at the time, and the track wasnt THAT big if you compare it to the typical outdoor track. If we had the marshalls stand up, it'd block the vision for several drivers in several corners around the track.

Thinking of converting my nitro 1/8 buggy to brushless, do you guys simply bolt the motor where the nitro motor was direct onto the spur gear i.e. no clutch?

The rear part of the centre diff mounting is usually replace with a CNC aluminium part which holds the motor and the pinion it the directly agains the spur gear for direct drive.
The CNC part usually places the motor on the opposite side of where the nitro engine goes. Then with the engine and fuel tank gone the speed controller and battery are then put in their place.
There are some newer layouts where is you are running individual 2s lipo packs you run one pack either side to keep the centre of gravity lower and balance the car more.
I currently use the Tekno RC conversion on my Losi 8B and this has the option of using a clutch or direct drive and mechanical brakes. One benefit of the mechanical brakes on the Tekno RC conversion is that it removes the braking from the electric motor and reduces the temperature and you can still alter the front to rear braking bias.
Some aluminium conversion plates state you can use mechanical brakes but from what I have seen is that they only allow one disc to be used and it is usually the front one. Obviously the down side of mechanical brakes is that you need to run an extra servo and need a transmitter capable of channel mixing for it to work although you could probably get an electronic mixer from a model shop that does aircarft to do the same job.

I cant tell what he has but look at Elite RCD mount they are the best made out there. Easy to remove motors, adjust or change pinions and internal bearing on mount makes your BL motor bearings last much longer as it acts as a dust barrier and shares stress and vibrations that can over time blow the front bearings of BL motors.

Mine is the ansmann hyper 8 motor mount with a washer under each side to make it the same height as the stock hyper 7 diff mount. I had to make a whole different plate to bolt the battery tray to.
