@Capelracer: I'm wondering the same. Would love to buy some tuning for it, but I can't even find any part numbers.
Another thing: are you guys running a fan motor? Most people at my local track do it with their Agamas and JQs, and I actually have one from the old 8ight 3.0 (electric conversion) which I drove with an Agama A215E body but I just can't mount it on my motor without the body interfering with it. Is there a fan/mount that is thin enough to make it fit?
Would love to use my old one, since it was clearly too expensive for laying around.
Maybe you have some tips for me

The new body, chassis, clutch and rear pivot brace are for the nitro version, however the rest of the tuning parts you can use on the e-buggy.
Have not hear plans on whether they are going to release a 4.0 ebuggy chassis... figured it would be out by now.

I noticed the springs in kit have colored dots on them. Green on the fronts & silver on the rears. What does that represent in ratings?

Can't wait to try my new 3mm M2C chassis! If it's anything like the nitro chassis, it's gonna be awesome!

It is 1mm thinner to create more chassis flex. On the nitro car, this created more grip and more corner speed while making it much easier to drive.

For anyone who likes to run full droop on their buggies you may notice the spindle carrier touches the arm and can result in the spindle carrier cracking as shown in the last picture. The reason we run full droop is that we feel it gives the car more grip/traction on lower traction outdoor tracks.
So back to the issue. First off you will want to use a silver sharpie and trace where the caster block is touching the arm. Next take the spindle and carrier off of the arm. You will take a drum style dremel and dremel out the area at a 45 degree angle to the arm. Test fit, if the carrier is still touching take a little more material off. Put the carrier back on the arm and you should see space between the carrier and arm as pictured.
Hope this helps! I will be headed down to PNB this weekend, see you guys there!

Wing Mount
Hey Frank,
I ordered the 8IGHT 4.0 Gen II Wing Mount kit at the beginning of July. It was on backorder until end of July. No biggie. Still haven't received it tho. I checked & now it says late August. Whats up with the push back? Do you think it'll get pushed back again?
