Hi,
You can look Art eBay. There are some Tekno D8T Kits. You can use the Rc-Monster too. I have both but I didn't Test both now. So I can't Tell you wich one is better.

Why does no one run bellow bladders in the truggy? I even asked Ty and he said to run stock bladders even. I bought some VRP pistons and was thinkin put the bellow bladders with it?

Kyosho strr evo unis work (part# IS103). The only problem is that they use 2.5mm pins, so you need to use a kyosho wheel hub. Kyosho makes plenty of different wheel hubs, but I haven't found the exact dimension hub as the d8t.
83mm dog bone and drive cup works perfectly for the front center. Nothing yet for the rear center.

I've drilled the pin holes on them to accommodate the bigger pin. No issues. Not a big deal. Took 4 minutes.

Sweet thanks. Now I can run universals on my truck without changing track width.
I wasn't too sure about drilling out the universals. Didn't seem that difficult, but was too afraid to crack them. I'll try the Kyosho hubs first.

Ran into my first set of issues in the last year and a half with my D8T Tessmann edition.
Race conditions were - Indoor Motocross Park converted to an RC track. It's called the MotoDome and it's near Staples/Motley MN. - Ambient temps were between 30 and 50 degrees ferinheit - mixture of dirt and clay I assume.
Here was the issue:
Using the following equipment - Protek 170S Chad Bradley Servos (near new) (throttle and steering), LRP Lipo 2700 receiver pack (near new and fully balance charged), Futaba 4PX (Near new) and RX that comes with it (R304SB), KO Switch (might be the issue)...
Before my Qual Rounds I would start by heating my engine with a Comp heater for approximately 15 mins.
Go down start the motor on the box and run for 10 minutes.
Warm up for 5 minutes before qual round starts...
Refuel.
Start qual round.
Maybe 1 or 2 minutes into qual round - no throttle or breaks... or it would go to full lock.
end qual dnf
----
Next qual round I tried - replacing the RX, rebind, removed switch, replaced rx battery with semi old back up...
Same or similar result... loss of throttle... however steering still functioned fine...
---
So in Two of 3 quals I completely lost throttle break...
---
I am going to send the servo in - in hopes that was the problem..... but what might I be over looking?
Heat issue... Maybe?
