Default Losi 8ight T Pics!

Hey guys... I finally got some decent pics of my Losi 8T project "blindside", and figured Id start a thread for Pics..

This is a project of mine that took a bit of time to build, but it turned out pretty nice - Everything aluminum is either polished or chromed, check it out!

Post up your truggies!!!!

Default looks great

That looks great but why did you get the 0-offset rims they shorten the truck by both sides by a half inch.

i have a eight-t 1.0 too and, adding the 1/2 wheel hexs with 0 offset rims seem to make a diffrence in the handling.

even though looking at the wheelbase by the eye it doesnt look wider.

Very nice truck man. Can't see myself racing that with the polished furniture though

I might get a racing truggy in the near future, but I got to much crap as it is. Once I get rid of my worthless Hellfire I might get a roller or something.

Default difference

I could see the difference between the 0 and 1/2 inch offset,but when i had my 1.0 truggy,it did have the extenders and your right it did handle better.

it did make it more stable but, its not quite the way i want it to handle .
but il tell you what i was, hanging right with the 2.0 truggys and it was my first time racing truggy. and i won 1 heat

i dont care for the short rack, too much on a large techinal 1/8 track. but i think setups will help with that.

im running it as a nitro by the way.

Default steering

I run the 2.0 truggy in electric and have the short steering rack on mine so it carves the corners like it's on rails.

well the 2.0 t is way wider too than the 1.0 t lol.

the short rack seems too touchy maybe, its because of my dual rate but its only at 70 % and i have full throw and the toe out in the front is about 1 degree. but yea the short rack does carve the corners.
