TLR 8IGHT E 3.0 THREAD

Agreed, ditch the brace. The problem is also partially caused by the use of Losi's cheap plastic spacer that goes under the motor mount. I ditched that as well (had to grind the chassis for spur clearance) and I have never had a problem with the motor mount coming loose from the chassis. I don't even use locktite anymore. An alternative would be to build a spacer out of something that isn't so soft like aluminum or carbon. Without the spacer, a 42mm motor sits very close to the chassis. With the 2.0 and 3.0 chassis, the flex may cause the motor to hit the chassis and you will have the same problem as the brace caused.

I used my losi 3.0 first time this weekend. It was easier to drive than my old converted EU. I used pretty much std setup with 35wt oil in both front and rear and pleased with it on a blown out med traction euro style track. What about your shock setups ?

Anyone know what spur pin setup is good? Just got the car and converted to electric. 1950kv motor, stock electric spur is 45T. I have a 15pin so far seems really fast. Tracks are hard packed dusty some times blown out and pretty long straight. What do u guys recommend

OK thanks xxxdad. I have some nitro parts that came with the kit... I wonder if I could sell that stuff. I'll be racing car for the first time tomorrow. Anyone e have a good outdoor setup they would like to share? I just installed drake roar bats winning setup as a start. Same everything minus 7k center diff. I'm go name run 5-5-3. Tracks I run on are hard packed, with a decent dust layer on the outside of the groove. Very dry in the groove

Hey guys ran my new 3.0 yesterday and its pretty awesome, on a dry, dusty, bumpy, lots of jumps track, I noticed some front push on power and rear end swinging around on and off power with drake nats setup. Any tips? Or anyone have an outdoor setup they can share? Thanks!

Edit, my attachment isnt showing up.
If your using Drakes 2013 nats, it's for a smooth indoor track, you need a good outdoor track setup to start with.
What are you running in your diffs?
