thats not to much heavyer il proberty not notice a diffrence than jumping wise accept maybe softer landings like mark k was saying. but with the ce edition does that come with better shock standoffs and steering rod ends ?
if you know .
i only club race and go to money races at my track i run in a sportsman truggy class.

weakest areas are the turnbuckle rod ends, only thtings i've broken in a year. the truck jumps very nicely but best it lands under control, no need to correct it upon landings either. turning is great but you can get carried away then your back end is allover the place if you go too far on adjustments. i have 0 complaints on it so far.
well i could get titanuim turnbukles so thats not a big deal yea i push my 1.0 t and i know where the limit is
. i tried to drive my 1.0 t hard but it was faster driving smoother with it it seemed like.
so its not hard to setup ?
do over : yea ive landed hard at just the right angle and bend one of my shock shafts on the rear . thats good that the parts are cheap on it
mark k on here said the rc8t is good on a rough track but i dont know if thats the stock setup but i can adjust it for that.

Yes tc5 that is with the box stock setup. The only thing I changed was the read diff fluid from 7k to 2k.

cool doesnt 2k burn up fast though on a truggy espially though a 15 min to 20min main ? man thats good that the stock setup works good on a rough track.
now are the wheelhexs that come on the champ ed have 1/2 hubs or just 0 offset wheelhexs.
cause i have 0 offset aka rims .

tc5man u should stick with losi and get urself the 8ight t 2.0 , cause when u switch cars u have to learn to drive allover again and this truck need to be put together this is not a roller and there is no stock setup up cause u will need to make changes for track condittions the T2.0 is good on any track out of the box , yes they use zero offset wheels and there are things u should upgrade on the truck the rear hubs should be changed to cnc and the front caster blocks also changed to cnc i have the FT truck and slowly making the CE one , since u already drive a losi and know how it handles it is easier to stick to that style then try and switch and get frustarated with the truck i have seen it before .....

yea your right i just get tried of the slop in the eight- t espially the 1.0 t .
you said.. that the 2.0 t uses 0 offset wheels so thats good how come the caster blocks need to be replaced to alum ?
i might just use 1.0 diff and cases so i dont have to deal with worrying about the shimming.
but than again if i got the 2.0 t i would have to adjust to the driving of that compared to my 1.0 t.

i been wondering does the parts off the rc8b fit on the rc8t also i know not all of them will fit on the truggy.
for instance like the extended engine mount for the rc8 will that fit the rc8t ?
and also are the wheelhexs on the rc8t 1/2 offset wheelhexs or just 0 offset because i run 0 offset aka wheels.
