Fwiw I had 8e 2.0 before my 3.0 and can honestly say its a world of difference. By far the funnest car ive ever owned and im only running 2s with a t8i 2700 indoors. running the maifield setup with truggy spindles and lightened suspension settings and the car is on rails.

Wish they would run 1/8th indoors where I'm at :-/

I've had this buggy for a few weeks now and between work and the weather I've only taken it out twice.....
So being that right now all it's doing is sitting pretty on the shelf, I might as well pimp the sumbich out n start slapping' it down with hop ups...

First package came in so I guess it's about that time for a brother to slick back the hair, throw on the wife beater n get my slap on...

Crusher "I've been running my 8ight e 3.0 for about a year and I still get very little rebound from my shocks. I have to have the springs torqued down to get any kind of real ride hight. Any suggestions?"

I don't know if anyone answered you but...

Check your camber links and see if they are tight... If they are squeeze them hard with pliers until they free up... Also its hard to tell if your hinge pins are bent but one of these two is probably your problem.

Do the plastics(rod end links and steering rod ends) still wear out in 1-2 months like the 2.0 did? That's the reason I sold my old losi stuff. I had a mugen for 2 years and no plastic wear at all and it's still tight but my losi after 2 months was all jiggly and you couldn't put an accurate setup on it because of this. For example camber was always a tiny bit off because of how much the plastics were wore. I had a kyosho for about 9 months and the steering ends did wear out but that's about normal 9 months of racing I would think you would have to replace some plastic pieces. Some people say it's "faster" the looser a losi gets but you can't tell me Mayfield goes to the track with a sloppy car. And oh also the front center drive shaft I remember since it has such an angle the pin would wear out in no time at all.

I've never had a 2.0, but I'm still on the original balls/cups after 8 months of weekly racing with no slop. Just for perspective, I'm on my third set of hardened balls/cups on my SCTE 2.0 in as many months.

Me and a couple of my friends that race at LRH use the SMC 4s 6500 packs. They have a lot of punch compared to some other 4s packs I've had and you get great runtime. One cell went bad in one of our packs and SMC replaced it right away, with no hassle.

I've been really happy with my SPC packs. Has anyone else tried these?

Alright, cool thanks for the reply. I too went through the balls/cups like crazy on my scte 2.0 but that truck is long gone now so I was worried about the 8ight 3.0 but everyone seems to have told me it's not an issue with the buggy so I ordered the e buguy last night. Can't wait for the build!

Enjoy the new rig!

Well, dropping the rear diff oil down to 3k and standing up the rear shocks really helped. Was able to make the tight turns and slide out the rear end more.

That's my next thing go try is to stand up my rear shocks.

I also noticed this in his setup, what does this give you? More steer?

Reducing caster gives more off-power steering and less chance for traction roll. Great for tight indoor smooth tracks!

Maybe since he has been running it for a year, he springs probably are spent, and the could be his ride height problem...
