How much does your Tekno 8ight weights RTR?
Here's mine: RTR 3600-3650g, but I'd like to see it somewhere near 3500g rtr (4s 5000mah turnigy lipo btw)
I like the 8ight but I dislike the mech brakes. Ran nitro before and having more brake on the front is imo more consitent.

Morgoth, I put the buggy on the scale and it came out to 6lbs 5oz with no body, wheels or battery. Keep in mind I am running aluminum front/rear carriers, steering top plate, I run a bigger 2200kv truggy motor, extra center chassis brace, mech brakes/extra servo and clutch. So it can be a lot lighter if that's what your looking for.

I how do you like the tekno chasis? It seems a lot stiffer than the stock one. Especially with the extra brace. I guess that clutch is really good for smoothing the 2200kv out.
I'll put mine on the scale on the scale too see what it weight without body and tires.
Mini is RTR without tires, lipo and body 5lbs 11oz. Is a bit lighter but no clutch, servo etc.

Those are for the L8ight...Off road they would be a waste and add unwanted weight.

tires
how does the losi tire compounds go from hard to soft??

I think you will be good with a 14T pinion. Or what top would you like to have?

I know this is probably beating a dead horse.....but here goes.
I am running the 45t spur, Castle 2200/ESC combo and Hyperion 14.8v 45c 5000mah lipo.
I have my pinion figured to be a 13 or 14. Can anyone confirm that before I set her on the track plz. I'm a noob to this electric stuff
