Ok , I bought a 8ight 1.0 pro roller At least I think it is. The chassis was shot so I had to buy a new one. I got it and put everything back together and got it RTR and it won't touch the starter wheel. Now my other 8ight will just fine. I beleave the chassis is bowed up in the middle cause if I press real hard it will hit the starter wheel than.
Can anybody help with this? Is there anything I can do to fix this? I'm hoping that maybe it's easy w/o having to pull everything off, if that's the case.

the eight 1.0 roller has a thicker chassis and its machined milled ,the rtr is thinner and not cut out.maybe the starter wheel is warned down to much
if the chassis is bowed i think your saying that it is bent it would be pretty hard to bend it stright if its the milled chassis ,if its rtr u proberty could make it stright

Never mind I think I got it. I had a rear chassis gard on it and I beleave that's what is causing it not to go down all the way. Once I took that off it made contact with it. Still have to push down hard though. Maybe that's just how it works. It is my first starter box.

I guess that's what it is than. It's just a thicker chassis. Still some what new, sorry.

Oh and the starter box is new. I just bought a RTR starter box that comes with the 8ight 2.0 RTR. It's just to get me by for a bit till I can buy the Ofna Truggy box.

if u have the rtr motor mount it make themotor sit higher too. the pro mount is lower. the rtr had a higher mount for the rotostart. that will make the fly whell not touch the bump wheel too.

NO, I have King Heads motor mounts on both of the cars. Maybe I just need to get used to using a starter box. All I have ever used is a roto start.

On most 1.0's people liked to dremel the flywheel slot a bit wider to allow the wheel to contact.

Well I might do that later. I got it to start and ran 0ne tank threw it. I bought this motor (Dynamite mach 2 .21). Now I have to get a tune on it. That may be a chor in its self. I'm still new.
But it starts fine now though.

Read carefully people. He said the car was RTR after he got the new chassis.

He didn't say he bought an RTR chassis.

Did you buy chance by the 2.0 TFT chassis. The 2.0 chassis is 2mm longer then the 1.0 stock chassis.

Nope it's not a 2.0 chassis. It is a 1.0 race roller chassis. It is the machined milled chassis that comes with the race roller.
I'm sure what happen is I didn't account for the thinker chassis when I put on the rear chassis gard so it wouldn't let it go all the way down. Since then I have taken off that and it works fine now.

if u have the losi eight box u dont have to dremel the flywheel area i just line it up right in the center and starts right up
