Just a heads up everyone that I do have skids for both the 8Be and 8Te.

http://www.sumo-racing.com/Losi_8-8T_2_Skid_Plates.html

I also have spacers for the center diff on the truggy so you can run larger spurs w/o hitting the chassis.

Let me know if you have any question by PM'ing me here. Thanks, Terry

Another solution: get Traxxas or Dubro rod ends that take 3MM screws and use that on one end of the steering link to the servo saver..

Thanks ta-man. It turns out that a slighty wider pivot ball from a spare SCTE 2.0 torque rod/chassis brace (TLR231010) I had slips directly into the same steering link rod end. It now allows a 3mm bolt to pass through the new pivot ball, but it does require a slightly longer bolt than the original 1/2" length due to the thickness of the protek servo horn (PTK-7802).

Are the stainless steel ones thinner or thicker than the alu ones. The web page indicates two sizes of thickness.

Thanks!

You already have one listed in your signature, all I have is one monster truck, I have been wanting a buggy for a couple months but can't afford one. I could afford to have one shipped to me but that is about it.

does anyone know where I can pick up a chassis protector for the 3.0e? Looking for something thick like the JC chassis tape.
