Hey you guy running the m2c clutch system what you all get for spring slash weight. Right now i have got mine set up like the instruction say i even put the play in the like they say. I dont think i ever had one with this much play yet. You want the flywheel as close to the block as you can get it right with out rubbing cause mine sit real close to the block i can slide 2 sheet of paper in between the fly and block. i got the collet on the inner race of the bearing right against it. i set the fly wheel by tighteing and losing then tighting it back up a couple of time is this hoe you guy put your on. sorry for so many question at once i just want to make sure it right so i dont f it up right away it my first 4 shoe after market system. it just sit diff from the stock fly that all.

I finally got a chance to run my d8t. Wow. I'm going to be fast with this thing. I'm running one of ty's setups for a basic setup minus the red rear springs. Off power steering is great. I have a slight push but its very predictable. So predictable I can slightly touch the brake and she rolls around perfect. It could have been the tires also. I was running soft I beams on a very dry and dusty track. On race day the track won't be near that dry so the truck should handle beautifully.
I'm going to try red springs in the rear sooner or later which should give me more steering.
I built this truck over the winter so it had some growing pains. Both front hinge pins came loose(forgot to put the rear screw in the new arm) brake linkage wasn't working right and a shock mount screw came out. Otherwise, flawless.
I'm my worst enemy. The truck is very capable.

KO switch can run in lipo or non lipo. Love these switches. There is a mode for lipo or non lipo so make sure it is setup right or voltage cut starts early with a life or nimh pack in lipo mode and makes things go crazy.

Anyone have troubles with the Lunsford steering rods being too long and stressing the inner ball link on bell crank? Notice some cracks and can only think that they come from that. The whole setup is new and never tightened them down to more that 2 degrees of toe.

Took my D8T with Clocked Werks B5 out for its first dry-ground run today now that spring is finally here (last time was when there was still ice on the ground, so hard to judge what it's capable of with no traction 
). Had to make due with a park field since our track here in Edmonton is still very waterlogged. All I can say is OMG, this thing hauls! When it gets warmed up, the B5 just rips, and I love that "chainsaw-esque" sound. Definitely brought a smile to my face. I can't wait to see how the D8T handles on the track this summer. Yes, it was a good day....... *goofy grin*

Can someone pleas explain to me how I pulled a brand new tank out the plastic and it leaks?
I pulled it out and noticed the seal appeared, odd. I did the underwater mouth pressure test and sure enough the lid is bubbling like crazy. What's up with that? Now i see why the tank I'm using looks modified.
