Losi 8ight building and setup
#2986
Sounds like your idle screw isnt set right. When you hit the brakes it could be shutting your carb completely.

Also I heard there were some running changes in parts including the steering ends.

I thank you for the set-up. Do you know if the RTR comes with the 3 deg. rear toe-in 2 deg. anti-squat block or that a kit part?????

Rear plate by M2Cracing.com
contact Mitch at M2Cracing.com or go on Carolinasrc.com site for the 3/3 rear plate. The pins ride in balls in the plates and you do not have binding problem.

The Kyosho rod ends fit great and are almost the same exact length as Losi's. The Losi balls fit fine and the part number is KYO1296 for a pack of 12 for about $5. They are pretty durable but like almost all plastics they get a little brittle in the cold. The IFW150 has 4 rod ends (same ones as KYO1296) and 2 turnbuckles but is about $15.
I'm glad it passes tech like that because I want to try making it to a couple RCPro races this year (if I can find somewhere to put the kids). But Roar rules for 1/8 buggy are 310mm width max. not 330mm (that's the max. wheelbase). The thing that threw up the red flag for me was that Losi states on their website that the cars width is 308mm...adding that 4mm would put it over the legal width. I hope noone would say anything about 2mm

when I can try this set-up. I do have springs and sway-bars coming so this will help. I forgot to order pistons though.
