8ight-E 1.0 can it use the plastics from the current 4.0 or X?

[kwik_uk]

I’ve got a ton of Losi 8ight 1.0, 2.0 2EU, 8ight-T, 8ight-T 2.0 from years back when I competitively raced. I use them for bashing now (apart from two mine 2EUs).

 

I’ve got an 8ight 1.0 with the genuine Losi electric conversion kit on it. I love it and frequently swap the kit inbetween an 8ight-1.0 and 8ight-T (v1)

 

I cant seem to buy replacement plastics anywhere :-( just need the radio box and battery tray. This is just what I’ve been looking for since sadly tombstoning my 6S 8ight-E into a concrete pillar at about 60mph.

 

I had replacements for everything except these plastics as they’re no longer in production ad not for sale anywhere other than the whole kit for £75. 

 

 

My question, does anyone know if the plastic radio box and battery tray from an 8ight-E 4.0 or 8ight-X will fit?

 

i tried calling Losi and the guy that spoke to me was thick as two short planks.

The 8X is entirely new and metric, so no, but some of the plastics from the 2, 3 and 4 are, with each successive version having fewer compatible parts. 

 

The battery tray you need only comes with the conversion kit but you could probably convert a Hyper 7 or similar tray to fit but it would need some chopping up. The dedication E versions of the 3.0 and 4.0 have a different chassis to the nitro ones so they trays won't work. I think the radio box layout and screw holes are standard and the 2.0 box should work. The 3.0 would probably as well.

Isn't the battery tray the same one we use for H7 etc conversions?  I've got a few if so.
