Default losi 8ight buggy 1.0

i was wondering how do you change a losi 1.0 to a losi 2.0 and is it worth all the hassle to do so or should i just buy a new buggy?

You would have to buy all the 2.0 parts and put them on.

i would concider just getting a tuned flex chassis for it, and keep the 1.0, alot of guys here say the 1.0 with tfc is just as good as the 2.0 if not better

I have been hearing the same. Put the 2.0 chassis, 2.0 radio tray and 2.0 tank and you should be good to go.

No need for another tank, the 1.0 tank fits fine, and the changes are minimal.

just buy the 2.0 chassis off ebay for 65 bucks and your ready to go then when stuff breaks change out slowly only things really make difference is chassis and 4mm turn buckles and towers if want it lighter if not dosnt help performance just weight can get all the stuff to make a full 2.0 for around 150 off ebay but chassis is all you really need to perform like 2.0

Ya the 1.0 tank fits fine but the 2.0 tank has 2 springs holding the lid tight. I have seen alot of guys have tune issues because the 1.0 tank doesn't seal well after time.

Get the TFT 1.0 will perform same or better than the 2.0. Botton line is all comes down to driver skills. The TFT chasis make the buggy easy to drive and very nimb, just like the 2.0 chasis.

why would you want .25 or .28 not legal at big races and also not as fast just have more torques which if you buy quality .21 will have the same torque or close to it with more top end and fuel mileage
