Hi All,
My losi is destroying the front bearings every 20 mins or so, I have replaced them so often I lost count.
I run standard 4 shoe losi clutch and shim / adjust the clutchbell for endfloat.
Has anyone got any ideas??
Cente diff moving? or anything else common.
Many thanks .

I got frustrated and flipped the mount to move the motor, used a "regular" clutchbell that is shorter. Problem SEEMS to be solved now... but then again I'm running the mesh a little sloppy.
BTW you are lucky in a way... better $2 worth of bearings than $18 worth of clutch bell. (I went through 2 bells last weekend and 1 this weekend before deciding to change it as described... so $54 + $6 for bearings since I wasn't gonna try running the bells on the bearings where the previous one failed... $60 in 2 weeks... yikes)

ok guys i am having trouble here and can't seem to get it figured out. I am fairly new to my 8ight and the last time i did any racing was back when 1/10 scale electric ruled the world. That being said the rear end of my 8ight won't stay planted in the corner. My turn in is awesome but trying to come out of the corner the rear end kicks out and almost (or does) spins me out. I am running the links in the 2-A position, and i have the adjustable rear hinge pin brace so i can change to what ever. I am running 7-5-2 diff oil and 3 degrees negative camber. i really wanna plant the rear end better from the middle out of the corner any ideas?

having problems with the servo saver. It seems that after I get it set and run it for a bit, the servo saver get tighter? almost to the point where you think it is locked up.... but after I rebuild it, it is fine. I am using the 8t spring and have the aluminum servo saver. the best thing i can do to fix it is buy new plastic parts, but that gets old and $$$ after awhile.
thanks
thanks

Kyosho makes a 8x10 kit with .1 .2 and .3's But u have to be careful to not jarr up the bearing as that will cause it to fail even faster.
