He is talking about breaking in the motors that are in the box . After Losi had many issues with the motors burning up they mentioned afterwards the motors need to be broke in . Run the starter box a few times with nothing on it .

the problem with carbon towers is that if any of the role center adjustments or shock standoffs come loose at all they will destroy the tower. I have seen it happen on my buddies Rc8 a couple times.

Not ramming it right outta the box...Running the motor's On and off with Zero Load for 10-15 minutes...then applying comm drops and bearing drops to the can's periodically.....Also rewiring the whole box and soldering All the connections makes a WORLD of difference.

Can I run 2, 7.4v 2s li-pos in the 8ight starter box? The reason being that my charger only charges 1-3, and I can save some money. That rules out the 4s li-po from losi or anyone else.

Yup, what Tex said. Trust me, I've tested this theory. They're tough. They don't call me "Captain Crash" for nothing! (I'm up for promotion though... soon to be Major Crash!)

Hey guys im haveing a little trouble mounting up my new GO Tech 5pt on my 8ight. it seems like i cant get any play on the clutchbell. Do i need to dump the GO collet and get a losi collet to get the correct spaceing?

ALWAYS use the losi collet for the losi flywheel

glow igniter: 1.2 volts
gel cell : 12 volts

Some starter boxes have a power panel that regulates the voltage into output ports where you can hook up a glow starter with wires

Hi,

Sorry if this has been covered before, but has anyone trying using a Werk's 4 shoe clutch in there Losi buggy? I installed mine tonight and it looks like it might work. I have not run it yet with it installed. I need to rebuild the shocks and diffs. Thanks

My buddy is using the stock losi engine mounts with a werks clutch. The crankshaft screw comes close to the tank but it does clear.

I wonder why the dog bones are the same ones from the LST2 and the pins on my LST2 have no problems and its bigger and weighs alot more.

Madman,
That is on the truggy correct? On both my 8ight and 8ight T, the only real wear I have found is on the front center more so than on the rest. The only reason I saw for it was because of the angle that drive line hits the center diff. Not too big of an issue to me, but if left unchecked could be a very bad thing.
