Default "targetingxmod" Losi mini 8ight

Allright, blah blah blah... last christmas my own santa gave me this



Enough talking....Photos!!


-Inside the box it came!!


-Size comp to an mr02 from Kyosho! (yep, i am into micro or mini rc's)


-Second 20cm jump, bad things had happen. Shame Losi.
On second jump with 20cm ? Come on! TOY?
Shame. SHAME! Haven't your all drive this thing on practice trainging before relising it to the shelves?


-Traxxas eyelets solve the issue!


-3s (only accpeted speed for me)

Just like that!


-You know this... to not break the upper eyelets! Works very very very well!




-Tires are bold. Nevermind i do not race, just play around, somekind of bash! Mostly every speed run i can...

On 3s this thing gets hot, so what to do?


-7.4v 45c, gets out...





-Now after the 3s ends, the esc and motor are warm! Just need care on the remote, and not drive like a troll

-The fan ok, and safe... from chrashes...


-Sway bar kit! On 3s power it's needed... we don't drive like a troll anymore! Much control. Only problem is the stock ESC making 0-100% throttle!!!






-CF mud guards to keep shocks and rear clean!

And i saw a clicking noise today... check it close and it was an outdrive loose!
Time to open the diffs, lub them and screw the outdrive if not yet screwed.... ants:

Not really sure what to make of your posts. I mean you sound angry in some of them, guess its the google translator. At least you are enjoying your rc. (I think)

LOL. Maybe being not my native languague i make english like a mad lusitan gringo.... but you get the point! i guess.... of course i enjoy RC! And like to share pic's of my own rc's!


-CF Mud guards brand...


-The eyelets that broke and the traxxas ones... The traxxas never brooke on me now!


-Li-fe Power for the remote! 3.3v in series!


-Life 6.6v power. More +-30meters range! Which is actually a good thing.
It's working for 3 charges by now. I dont' know if it will burn something on the remote. But for now is good. And i am waiting for the GT3c or the GT4, so no worries! (CORRECTION KYOSHO KT201)

Just playing around with some stuff i got...














-Outdrives Lighter and stronger!






-3s 60C. Worth every penny. It kicks and draw power like a dinosaur till she ends!








-This should had been the first upgrade... but what the heck! It's now time for some straight lines.... the stock servo saver is junk... so i used an Xray servo saver instead of the photos.

Great thread! Loving all the pics! They explain better than a thousand words so no problem here on the language barrier! Keep it up!

I wish I knew about the spring rates. Kind of difficult to tell....looking at the mini-8 parts on amain website. They have three different part numbers for front springs and also three for rear springs. Some are rated hard, some soft, perhaps the others are medium? I wish they cared enough to tell us.

Thumbs up Hey TargetingXmod man!

I like the photos of your car with the two fans. Does the losi esc work with other motors? You must have driven a lot of miles to wear the tires bald. I like all the different parts you are using. Great photos!

-In my opinion HR release options parts for Rc's very soon and the quality is doubtness! Every single HR i use is not EXCELENT or not GREAT! It does the job but there are better! I guess the Losi ones are better because it's an upgrade from Losi... and on the Mini 8 Losi upgrades are UPGRADES!

Hope that helps... that's my experience.. others may think different...
