This is probably a dumb question but has anyone trimmed the side bumpers? They really don't seem to do much other than get in the way. Even bashing, I've never hit them. I'm going to trim the rear bumper down as well

Body Holes for Hi Perf Body TLR8060
Question for you guys regarding the mounting holes for the Hi Performance body. Are you lining up the body so that the front of the shell shell goes just in front of the bumper? It looks like it won't have enough room to drop in behind it after the holes are in.

I usually line up the rear axle centered to the quarter panel. My front bumper gets altered everytime I hit the track.

What brand battery do you run...my gens ace are getting hot and puffing at 40c and set on 3 or 4 for punch??
Also, does anyone think dropping to a 13 or even 12t pinion would help with the hot batteries even tho right now motor ran at 160* and esc was 110* and it was 90* ...I kno gearing helps control motor/esc temps but didn't kno if it would help with the battery/battery/esc leads being hot/warm to

Ha ha me too! I got it. Just need to get all the Swiss cheese holes cut out of this body. After all this cutting the darn thing better not crack first time out! LOL

Never have another crack again! Well, at least not until you have to call the plumber

So not needed... I race w/ stock shocks on a large outdoor track w/ motoxross style jumps with no issues at all. The stock shocks are designed for the truck and can easily supply the needed dampening and performance. If you just like spending money and fooling around fine, but bigger shocks won't reduce even a fraction of a second to your lap times. I have 8ight shocks my my 810e, they are fine... but they do like those others add weight and force you to buy the larger shock towers that DO break easier or do the 8ight droop pad mod (best choice imo) in order to keep the appropriate droop on the vehicle.
Sorry enough talk, I just wanted to make sure people knew this wasn't a mod that was going to help w/ lap times.

I dont run the side bumper's Nor does anyone at our track. Imo all they do is get in the way and collect dirt. yes cut the rear down as well, It will definitely help with the rear of the body cracking.

So I assume it prevents the teeny tiny washers from etching into the blocks? or do they fit better so the diff go together easier? I know if you don't get those square blocks all the down and pushed all the way out, your diff will not be smooth when you put it back together.
06-17-2012, 04:27 PM
But i think it was best explained by 8ight-E as i have nitro finger and coming out of corners you just romp the throttle and let it fly and i think that is def bringing my temps up on the battery as the punch setting on the HW is the initial trigger pull and not a CL like the RX8 to where you cut the power down

A steadier hand would help as well! Got a couple of "oops" spots here and there on some of the slots...
Do you use the tape and shoe goo or just a layer of shoe goo by itself?

ok, thanks BMAIN...i was hoping that dropping the punch would help with the draw but guess not but yea...got excited and ordered the SNR CR towers when i should have ordered a few batteries! Might get a nanotech in the 65c and maybe try a gens ace in the 60c and see what i like since the gens ace so far have been awesome for me w.o any hiccups
I use both and even a thin coat of the shoegoo will do wonders

u need the best battery u can get. 90C orion 6500 would do the job.
u have to keep the voltage up.as soon as voltage drops the amps go up and that is when u have problems. volts X amps =watts.
short wires;high strand count;good solder. mine is working good now and i dont limit the current at all. tinning the wire properly is paramount.rx8 with 4600 pro4
