don't know what you mean there Maximo... it runs great with no wear.. so i guess that means not much slipping is taking place... maybe its the clutch or shoes you are using.. i don't know
also keep in mind the inner diameter of your clutch bell has alot to do with it.. when i mount my clutch up there is very lil room between the bell and the shoes...

i updated my post to give some reasons ... but i tested all the pipes on the same clutch.. and i have been running 1.1 springs all the time.. as a matter of fact thats all i run.. but i run a 3 shoe clutch ( not sure if taht makes a difference).. no matter what engine.. all i run is 1.1 in my truggy with good clucth wear
I am not doubting you guys at all, I am just shocked your able to run 1.1 without smoking your clutch out, as thats all that happens to me when I try running them....Heck on my 28's I try to run the heaviest shoe I can find and the lightest spring possible as well as I usually gear up at least 1 tooth and sometimes 2....

race
Like I said it's a D8T thing not a engine thing and people that run the D8T know that the 1.1's work great. Some prople run a softer spring but just about every one I know runs 1,1's with the D8T

front center will work on buggy or truggy. rear center works only on buggy. you just have to put a couple washers between the bulkhead and the axle.
i use them both on my buggy and like i said before they are rock solid

Answer-RC shoes and 1.1 springs here too.
No issues to date and fantastic wear rate on the shoes. I used to swear by the Fioroni clutch but it's Answer all the way from now on.

It depends on the track and your driving style but I would start with this setup

hopefully he has a couple weeks to stay at home and read all 217 pages and 3,242 posts. lol. there needs to be a whole forum dedicated to the D8T. its impossible to find anything in that D8T thread, i have searched it many times. why don't you just answer him or give him a link to something other than a novel to read...that has tons of useless informatin...granted it does have lots a great info...once you find it in the haystack.
OR..go to the last page of the D8T thread and ask there.
OR..start a new thread for everything about the D8T and make it harder for everyone to find anything.
I did answer his question. I gave him a link to the best spot on RCtech to find answers about the D8T.

Hey,
Can any of you guys help me out with shock spring colors or a color chart with spring rates for the d8t ?? i own (3) of them and would not race anything else. we have big jumps out here and i bottom out (chassis slapp) hard all the time and dont want to do anymore dammage, i had my axial .28 rr-2 motor mount crack due to the stress of landing so hard, i have the stosk colors front and back but want to go stiffer without over doing it......... any advice from you "big-air" jumppers would be greatly appreciated.
