Losi 1/8 8ight E 4wd Thread
#5806

I personally use My Hudy station to get me squared up. (everything even from side to side) Then ill try and use a set of tires I plan on racing with and make sure im in the ball park of where i would like to be with a plain Jane RPM monster camber gauge.

Hey guys I have a very quick specific question...
I have a buddy who just got the 8ightE... he ordered the wrong motor combo (the 2650kv)... I realize that its WAY over sized in motor... but could he get away with a 12t or 13t pinion on stock spur gearing and keep both the heat down and speeds consistant with the stock gearing on say a 1900kv?
Thanks!

So do you find a difference between your setup station and a particular set of tires? Mine always seems to change.

Does anyone use Fioroni parts on their 8ight-e's? Mine needs a new chassis and front shock tower, and the Fioroni stuff has caught my eye.

I talked with Fioroni-USA regarding the chassis and was told it is "good." Most complaints are that the width is different so is difficult to mate some of your standard bodies. This is why I went with a BCE. Hope this helps . . .
I also was going to buy their lightened CVD drive axles and outdrives but Answer-RC had the same bits and just went with them. Fioroni definitely makes quality goods and would not hesitate to buy their stuff.

Does anyone run the stock 2.0 body that comes with the 8ight 2.0 nitro buggy? How does it look?
