Losi 8ight building and setup
#7981
Curious if anyone could let me know how much lighter the 8ight 2.0 is over the 8ight? I keep reading it's lighter than the original,but the only lightened items I can spot are the shock towers
So just wondered if someone would be kind enough to post the weight difference and if possible the ready to race weights of the 8ight and 8ight 2.0 with the same motor/servo/pipe set-up.
Thanks

My 8ight is roughly 3450 ready to run, I'm about to purchase a new buggy and would really like to know all aqbout the 8ight 2 before committing.

Actually, the chassis on the 2.0 is lightened as well...chassis has some material milled out for weight savings and added flex!

Here ya go. The gap is partially covered by the TRS (aka o-ring) but it's about 2mm. You can see that I have the diff mount Dremeled all the way back to the post. You want the carb to be as straight as possible, but you also need to leave some room for the chassis to flex. Like I said, I learned the hard way.

My 8ight is a first generation car, a buddy had it pre-ordered and got it the first couple days they were out. He ran it once and then it sat at his house for 2 years or whatever it was till it came to live with me, LOL. I have about 1 1/2 gallons of fuel through it with no issues and I'd like to keep it that way. About to do a complete tear down. I know there were a couple issues with the first gen 8ight. Going to the HD diff housing is a no brainer. The rear outer hinge pins on the car (and the spare pack) are gold. Are these the old, soft ones? If I go to the HD fiff housing should I run the center diff front bearing adapter anyway? Just looking to bulletproof the car while it's apart, so if there's anything else LMK. Already have the M2C front and rear toe blocks, so that's not an issue. Thanks.
