Yes; as long as you are using one of the more current/newer med profile batteries. If you are using the older thick/high capacity batteries with the thick wire/deans connectors, then you may have to space the front body mount up 2mm.

Questions?? NO 2.2 truck goosebumps until....June?

MID_JUNE? No,I cannot wait that long.
I'll just keep looking for 2 pairs. Yes,they work well on my out door track in Marysville,WA.
Hard pack with dust on top. The SLIPPER setting is way important.Fishtails result,otherwise.
The center tread goes away in less than 5 packs,because they are green compound. Yes,they balloon quite a lot, under power.I did duct tape the inner carcass of the tire,but my liners are CRAP. I'll try the AKA red liners,this time.No trimming.
I still need a few pairs.
The flip outs are very close to the same tread pattern?

The green compound,any way.
Some tires just do not work,in my situation. Boo hoo.
Hole shots are a waste of time,No clay tires work that well,Calibers are a no-go,Badlands? NO. Blockades and step pins? No.
This is a 2WD stadium truck with a 4600KV motor.

Yes,I'm a little wild on the trigger,chasing Bob,who is a better driver and has a better set up.
Luckily,my front tires are just hole shots and work well. I removed the the edges because of WAY too much steering!Some racers reverse the edges to remove steering: Good idea.
This is R/C season in my area and I want to get out there. Tires are 80% of a good lap time and I'm still chasing the right tires for my track.

I used to run on an indoor clay track and it was fantastic traction.Also,I ran on indoor Ozite carpet.(I liked that the most). I came of of carpet and the clay track was SOOOOO much easier to run. The lanes to pass were wide/massive.
I'm still having a lot of fun with my VINTAGE t-4's.

sounds like you need some old school tires lol, like Losi IFMAR pins and studs in red compound.

sooo I have a Losi 8IGHT RTR buggy, which is essentially the 3.0 that I have done an e-conversion on.

I have read that the Losi 2.0 body fits no issues and clears the battery/battery straps but that body is fugly. lol

I have also read that a Mugen MBX7 Eco body from JConcepts would fit and clear the battery? Would anyone be able to confirm this?

I bought the Illuzion body which I absolutely love but it sits crooked because of the battery :-(, but no worries, I'll put that on my race 8IGHT 3.0 :-)

Thanks in advance!

Default 8th Scale Tire Compounds

I'm having a hard time finding red and r2 8th scale Jconcepts tires. Wondering if it's too early in the year to look for them or will I see less of this compound in the future?

Yes, unfortunately the amount of big races already happening and the scheduled races the next few months has us deeply B/O and playing catch-up. I will say most of the racers have been skipping over Red and going straight to R2, so we have been trying to get more R2 made instead of Red. I will have to check on ETA for the next batch.
