8ight T 2.0 RTR issue
I just bought the eight t 2.0 rtr the other day and I am having a problem. During the break in, the front left dogbone popped out of the outdrive cup. I got it back in ok, but today at the track, it did it again. My camber is almost -2°, -1° more than suggested from factory. The left dogbone is right on the edge about to come out all the time, but the right one is in far enough that it's not even close to being a problem. I thought about shimming the cvd on the inside, but there is still not enough play there to matter. What could be causing this? I am at a loss. Here are some pics to show you what I am talking about.

other side
And as an update, I replaced the cups today, but the left side is still close. It is noticeably closer to the edge that the right one. I think it will say in now, but not for long I can't imagine. It's still bad close.

check your droop setting.

oh ok I found it in the manual. But how is droop adjusted? sounds like the same thing as ride height to me. And why would one side be different than the other? I'm sorry I am so ignorant. Just trying to learn. Thanks for the help.

There is a droop screw you tighten or loosen on my associated I assume the Losi is the same....

yea, I know it's tough. Thanks for trying though. I did screw in the droop screw a little and it evened out the locations of the cvds, but will having droop adjustment done to just one side affect the handling?

ok, I think I get it. The droop setting on each side should not matter. Who cares how many turns in the left is compared to the right....as long as the shocks are the same length? I think I got it

my buddy has this same problem,
i cant imagine that even if ithe hinge pins were straight that it would be enough. they should'v made/ used longer cvd's in my oppinion (at least 4mm longer) that way this would not be an issue in the event of bent hinge pins during a race. my buddy's is even worse. whats odd is that its the same side!!

If the higne pins are ok, its has to be the droop.
if they are longer they would not provide enough room to for the suspension to travel.
