8ight 2.0 spares question
I just bought a brand new 8ight 2.0 and my very first time driving it will be next weekend at the JBRL round one race. What should i buy for spares for this race. Are there any week points on this car
heres wht I was thinking form my limited race experience
shock shafts, shock ends, arms, hinge pins, rear hubs, bearings,
also i just bought a center smart diff and it doesnt feel super free. - Feels kinda clunky. Is this normal? Do i need to drive it to free it up?

On a side note about the new track layout that is going to be put in place by the 25th. It is going to be REALLY techinal, a couple rollers, a woop section, tons of doubles, and a step up and step down at the top left of the track with a long straight. I agree, run it before you race it.

if you can keep it on the track you should be fine. had my car since the first day they hit hobby shops, same shock tower

and to the guy who said the front tower is only breakin from people flyin off the track your wrong. im in az, im very lucky to have about 8-10 pro drivers local to me, mostly all losi. one of them help runs a rc track and he broke his the first day out. replace the front tower with the old upgrades losi tower

Wow!! Thanks. Yes I'm one that would tear the roller down and rebuild it correctly before running it.
I thought the camber link holes on the new shock tower are different than the old one. Just use the inside hole on the old shock tower with the new car?

I also had my Front tower Fail on the first outing....it was a somewhat bad crash on my part....the face of a particular jump had a small/med bowl in the face and required a specific throttle input to get over with out excessive A*s pop and basically put me on the front tower not even 2 laps into the practice session....I have since gone Quality CF tower's that have Never Failed according to the MFG....1 fractured but the user glued it and raced it till his replacement showed up...i also went Custom Boeing Grade CF tower's for the truggy...Not to mention they are 1.0-2.0 hybrid's that i can run either or body.
Either way...the front tower's are weak to say the least....replace it before it bites you is my opinion.

Crappy SSG composite tower's From BIG name brand companies is the stuff you have to worry about....most of it is a Far cry from being "REAL" CF....the REAL stuff is Far too expensive for mass production like RC MFG's do....There are exceptions....but anything like Racer's Edge, Xtreme Racing or the Stuff off Ebay is Crap SSG.
