Losi 8ight building and setup
#8582
I need some advice, I have got a used 8ight to where the back of the chassis is worn down thin. It's not worn down all the way but I had to cut grooves in the back 2 screws to get them out. I would say it's less than half left. So my question is, until I get a new chassis for it will these work for now?

Also I will ask here to. I can't seem to find a back plate on A-Main that I can use for the losi 427 motor to convert to a bump box. Does anybody know if the make one or where I can locate one at?

For the rear you can try the plates I would suggest using shoe-glue since the chasis is worn I would go with the older version not the new version since your chasis is worn they tend to bend easier since your chassis isnt true. Normal the tail wears the most making it hard too fasten since the front side is thicker.

Integra what motors do you use in your box?I have alot of old motors(stock,19 or mod)

most anything will work....im actually Still running some Integy Crawler motor's that have been working for quite some time now.......they do turn on the slower side but i cant say they have ever hindered the ability to start a motor.
i also did run the stock motor's for over a year on lipo till one eventually let go and i swapped for the integy's.
Also I do run lipo which is definitely a factor in how much power your motor's will get....imo gel cells suck and so do nimh stick packs....with the price of lipo's now a days its a lot more common then it was a couple years ago....No need for any Regulator's or any Low voltage cut off's when you can get a 5000mah 4 cell for under 50$...you cant go wrong.

Yea I use two 2 cell packs and just burnt up my second set of stock motors trying to break in a new motor that is very tight.I just ordered those pinion gears so thanks for your help.Lee

Seeing as you are using the center smartdiff, I would be particularly interested to know how it affects braking and acceleration, as well as turn in and cornering in general as you roll on and off the throttle. And anything else you would care to comment on as well!
Thanks in advance,

shock problems
I'm blowing shocks out almost every time I hit the track. Essentially the shaft and the piston separate inside the shock body and the shaft comes out the bottom.
Are my screws holding the piston to the shaft not holding (I used loctite)?
or
is my sag not set correctly and the shock has too much potential for over extension?
Any tips or others have this problem? Thanks!
