I'm running the brace from KHZ, but it stiffens the radio tray threw the Throttle servo, not the steering servo too. I really like mine. It helps with some flex to prevent potential cracking of the servo case when landing (Or Crashing) BIG jumps...

trying to setup the throttle EPA on my radio, ive have it at about 45-50%.
that seems to be grabbing the brakes good enough.

Are you guys also at about the same on your brake epa?

mine is currently set to 28%, yes I know that's extremely low...but I always felt my car would lock up while braking too quickly if I went much higher on the EPA...

Yup, some of us are even LOWER!

My theory seems to be working. I switched to 5-5-2 to try and get more on power steering. Our track is tight and technical, so getting through it fast can be tough. Raceday is tomorow, so the REAL test begins then. I got a chance to practice last night... I Love This Car...

When using a Lipo reciever battery pack, do you have to use a voltage regulator, or will the voltage regulator in the reciever handle the extra voltage?

Dale...I don't use lipo batteries, so I'm not 100% sure. However I do remember seeing people say they use the Novak regulator for lipo batteries...so I think you might need to get one.

Guys i been using lipo for the last 4 months or so now. VXR racing 2000mah pack and there 5amp regulator (You NEED a regulator).

The Novak Reg. is 3amps and i'd say thats under powered in 1/8th ( I thought it was anyways, servo swayed alittle in the corners)

The VXR 5amp is good and that's what i currently use BUT is only compatable with Spektrum + Futaba HRS recievers

Much-More do a 7amp one, available from Amian amoungst other places, I'm trying this out on the weekend. They dont mention any compatability issue's so i guess it'll work with all radio set-ups.

Hope thats of help

I'm using this MuchMore 7amp regulator and I love it. I gives constant power to my two Hitec 5955 TG servo.

I had the novak one too, but I like the MuchMore regulator better

Rod ,
I think Justin wouldnt have changed a thing when he was over here. The BTCC was the place to race when he was here and hopefully he enjoyed it as much as I did.
I believe Justin is racing the Losi over there because thats where the competition is in his part of the world.
I will look for his name in the leaderboards when he starts racing this class again and will not be suprised to see him near or at the top of it.
Good luck Dude and see you at the snowbirds

You cant go by what other people have cause all servos will setup different unless its the same exact servo. For example my Hitec 5995 my brake epa was as low as 30 then when I use a 5195 analog it goes up to 60 then If I use my Jr Servos it goes to like 50. But Id say around 50 or less is all you will need for anyone of them depending on how your brake linkage is setup.

I have just purchased an 8ight and would like to know what would be a good starter box to use? Anyone using the Team Magic X5 Turbo? Any Suggestions?? Appreciate the help...

dirtracer1

i have a team magic x5 box....it gets the job done and haven't had any issues with it, however, if i was going to buy another one, i'd get the mugen starter box. i believe that most people on here use the mugen box with their 8ight.

i have Ofna's True-Start box, but i wouldn't recommend it...i had to dremel part of the chassis by the flywheel away and it still doesn't fit too great...people don't seem to have problems with the Mugen box with their 8ight's it seems though...

ofna 10256, works great.
