Default Front bumper

The problem is the tounge on the front bumper, it actually raises the trans up as you slide it in. The plastic diff housing should be seated flush with the kick up of the chassis and the section that goes through the chassis should be flush with the bottom of the chassis. I had to grind the thickness and sides of the bumper tounge to finally get the front diff assembly to fit properly. I mean I had to remove a lot of material, I bet I took 5 degrees of kick up out of the thing.

You are right about that bumper! Thanks for pointing that out

Also go spend 26 bucks on the MIP tools(2 ea) that are needed for the shock cap bleeders and the diff screws and You will never(going slow and takin yer time)
strip a screw..
Or buy the Losi 8 in 1 tool

Yes, some guys bought the 1.0 and would buy the HD outdrives and the Lunsford rod ends and other stuff and rememeber them weighing everything and showing the comparison pics of the weight so i kno some did buy for that reason

Thanks!
Yes, they said the box stock set-up is good for both indoor and out and then jsut tune for either to your liking as its just a great starting spot to get everyone going

Can someone explain to me how to adjust the sway bars properly? I assembled the front end and pushed the sway bar all the way back into the gear box slot, but how far should the wire go into the linkage from the a-arm and how tight are the set screws holding the bar to gear box? Also just an FYI if you look under your front gear box with a-arms on using the stock set up look to see if your arms are hitting the gear box. The part of the arm with the droop screw is hitting the gear box on mine where the bottom screws hold the box together. Doing a little dremeling.

I'm super pumped about the 2.0, going back to the awesome build now
I do totally understand this. Thats why I dont judge the truck based on that one testing. I was just giving my initial comparison thoughts. Best of luck to you with your truck. I still sincerely think it will be a deadly animal once properly set up!!

Just after driving the two that I mentioned in my previous post, it would be a hard decision to make (weather or not to buy someone old 1.0 that has the MIP conversion, or the new 2.0).

Good luck!! And I can't wait to read other drivers reviews on this truck in the future!

I bought the TI screw kit for the 1.0 and caused more trouble than its worth... Screws constantly stripping the heads out. You'll save almost as much weight with TI turnbuckles and its cheaper...

:Picked up my kit. Won't have time to build it until next week. Just gave it a good look over. The directions seem to be exactly like the 8ight/8ight-t build. I've got the scte 1.0 and the quality of the diff. gears even looks much more refined. Had that appart enough times, I think this thing should go together in my sleep! Lol.

Finished my kit last night and raced it today. I really really liked it. I had a pretty much stock 1.0 other than I had a pro4 4600 on it and it was a big jump for me going to the 2.0. The truck felt really well balanced for the most part.

As far as the build goes I had some of the known issues like the bottoms of the shock caps being really really difficult to put on, stripped the first diff screw I tried but no issues with the after that. The main problem I had was when tightening the first 4 screws for the front diff case I didn't crank on them at all but I guess it was too tight and the ring gear was slightly rubbing in one area.....thought it just needed breaking in but I took the front end back apart to try and figure out the issue before running and all I had to do was loosen em up. If you're using a longer servo arm be aware of where your electronics run from your esc. Learned a tonnnnnnn building this kit and am no longer threatened to take it apart and change things!

Wanted to post a pic of it but won't let me post pics....

Took the 2.0 out to the track today. This truck did everything well. I am super happy with my purchase.

At least give me the option to remove it instead of making me buy a box or a cowl.
The nerf bars were redesigned and they hit the body higher so they work much better. We are still cutting the rear bumper though.

Thanks!
Yes we have run the kit setup in many conditions and it works well. It will not be perfect for everyone and every condition but we feel confident it should put you in the right ball park for tweaking.

Great!! I think that is where it is the best!!
Yes motor mount is now 7075 alum for increased strenght.

A good 1/16 bit is important as the screw holes are tight and they go deep in the holes so cutting the threads can be a little hard but I use my MIP speed tip and my hitachi drill and have built almost 10 2.0 kit diffs so far and not had a single issue.

I didn't want to thread them down, seemed to me like they were made to accomadate a shock boot ?



Also the front shocks at the top seem to loosely mount on the post.


A few things I noticed, instructions are basically pictures only, some screws could have used a larger allen wrench, lower shock caps,(must be designed for boots) cvd's tiny pins, rear diff out puts have plastic insert thingys PITA, gold nuts, battery size adjustment not quick change, front top plate needs the spacer.
The shocks are nice quality, & diffs went together just fine. The quality of the screws could have been better, comes with grease, loctite, fluids & tools needed.
Yes they are supposed to go all the way to the bottom of the body. There was an issue with the lower caps and Horizon will send you out new ones if you could not get the kit ones on. The issue was addressed but not until after the kits were shipped. Check out this tip.

The shocks should be a little loose on the bushings so the shocks don't bind as they rotate as the suspension moves.

RPM arms no. The kit ones are way strong and the RPM ones are too flexible IMO. Titanium screw kit saves weight if you want to spend the money.

For me I had the car on the table without the shocks installed. (so arms level) and adjusted the sway bars so the vertical. The wire will not go through the pivot all the way.

Stock springs work well but it would not hurt to have others for tuning for other tracks.
