Try removing two springs from the center diff and running just two .15s. That's what I'm running, and I really like it. I think a few of the pros are running that setup, and some are even cutting a few coils off of the two remaining springs.

Haven't personally tried a smart diff in front yet.

I know its probably been posted many times, but my 8t 2.0 seems to push more so when I turn to the left then the right,(still does to the right), and I have to brake quite a bit to get it to turn tight. Can anyone make some ajustment sugestions, to get it not to push so much. I pretty much have it set up per the losi set up sheet in the manual. Thanks in advance

Reduce the rear to-in from 3.5 to 3

+1 on the 3 degrees in the rear. I run a king headz 3-3 block and 5k in the rear and it seems to work good.

+2 on the 3-3 block. I just bought the 2-3 block and am going to try it next. On a loose track where the front tends to push this maybe the ticket. Also going to try a little less front droop.

I have always run 3-3. On the 1.0, and now on the 2.0. I also run 3k in rear diff.

So far the 2K has worked for me. I think I may just keep working with the droop settings a little and maybe a little ride height adjustment.

Finally took the plunged and joined the 2.0 club. Now I'm just asking myself why did I wait so long. This Truggy is much better in than the 1.0. Finally somebody put out a car Buggy or Truggy with definite improvements. Anyone have any advice for me or watch out for's?

I'm running

Jammin JPX .21 (JP4)
steering JR 9100T
Throttle JR 9100S
Smart Diff center

Contemplating smart diffing the front as well.

Side note I was using the Losi lipo and regulator. For whatever reason it started making me lose connections. Went back to NImh packs no more problems. Just in case anyone runs into the same issue.

I had to up the rear to 5k when I added the front and center smart diffs the truck just has too much steering.

steve307b · 07-02-2009, 10:42 PM

Thanks guys... I'll try the 3-3 toe in the rear. seems to be the ticket

CaseyP · 07-02-2009, 11:37 PM

Billy Fischer and I have been working with truggy getting ready for the nats and have found a few things that the truck likes;

lighter rear bar, softer rear springs and a shorter rear camber link give it a try and see what you think.

mihaelbencek · 07-03-2009, 12:02 AM

what is the effect with the shorter camberlink?

i like the stiffer rear sway bar more because here in europe are more technical tracks with more corner speeds, i need the car more stabel and thats the reason why i put the 3.00 sway bar from the 1.0 buggy in my 2.0 truggy
