Adam Drake talks about the new 8ight 2.0
#151
BTW, a racer here had his GRP .21 temp at 403. We immediately richened the top 1 full turn, and then shut it down. Put the piston at bdc, then set the car near a fan to cool it off slowly. This weekend, the same motor ran great, and still had pinch. Either way, he just ordered new bearings.

Humm its a nice weight drop then, but nothing to get really excited about. When you say you have to clean the 8ight and recheck do you think we're going to find another 2oz's ?
If anyone can post me the bare weight on the 8ight 2.0 plz(no motor/pipe , servo's, electrics, wheels or shell that'd also be very interesting. basicly new without wheels or shell on).
Thanks for your reply Dietz

Again , nobody is allowed to say there is a new 8-T coming until it has been released to the public , just like when they said there wasn`t going to be a newer 8ight until Losi revealed it . This has been asked several times and been given the same response . Unless you are a Losi driver or employee you will have to wait just like the rest of us .

Bigedmond- It’s possible if sales take off. I would rather run truggy personally.
Intergra- Haha..
TIX- The material, mold configuration, design and molding process.
R1harper- Thanks!
Mr. losi- 2-a front and 2-b rear.
Merciless- My buggy was a little over 2 oz. lighter.
Dirtydezpirate- I’ll be at Revelation tonight and Thursday if you need help. What was the engine running at before you switched fuel?
Blower Uper A I haven’t used a nosram or hpi engine.
Donut92673- No problem. Let me know how it runs this weekend.
Jamminfrazy- I’m sure we will release a new turggy at some point, but I don’t know when that will be.
Bigedmond- WOW, 403!

Adam....u say if sales take off.....have the sales of the 8-T in general not been good ? the main thing im lookin for is the upgraded bones....what are the wear characteristics compared to the old metals ?
#161
hey adam: I came across a company online called matrix composites that makes a carbon chassis for the losi 8ight and 8ight-t i was just woundering if you'de seen them and how durable are they vs. the stock alluminum chassis? Thanks

Intergra- If sales take off on the SC8, Losi may look into doing something similar, but I don't think that's going to happen. Racing truggies is a lot more fun them running a CORR type truck in my eyes. The 8ight 2.0 bones are a lot harder and last more then twice as long.
b-man777- Yes, I know of Matrix. There chassis looks really nice. Not sure about the wear vs. a stock chassis.

i could answer this for ya.....i personally dont own one...i do run his anchorman's.....but also know CF characteristics and know all about Robert's chassy.....he uses skids on the rear so wear is practically nothing....and he uses replacable droop screw tabs so when they wear you can replace them...which i have yett to see another MFG do.....and the CF he uses is Top Notch.....not the regular old SSG composite you see on most pro level kits....ive been waiting for the truggy chassy personally as i like truggy better also.
PS Adam u missed the updated bone question.

What can i do about my front brakes keep sticking after i apply them on my 2.0. I tried loosening the pads and tried the adjustment on the linkage.
