will the losi shock caps on the bottom of the shocks that holds the boots in place fit on an xray 808?
thanks

no, wrong size and it's standard thread VS. metric thread

I'm suprised, it's nothing new, especially for a losi after 5-6 gallons, it gets sloppy as hell. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then you must of run 5-6 gallons through your car while sitting on the starter box. And I guess I've been on the bandwagon, but it started when I owned the XB8 3 years ago.

and if you already knew what other peoples responses would be, then why post at all? Anyway Peace out.

Who really cares about all this anyway? Does it matter that some people drive Losi, and some people drive Xray. Jesus, do you think People driving Mercedes Benz, are fighting with the people who drive BMW's. Come on people lighten up, It's really stupid. We are all RC Nitro people, and we compete against each other, and we all have the freedom to buy the vehicle we like, can we stop with all the stupid Losi rules! no Xray rules! It's really freeking childish, and I'm tired of reading it

In the manual it is explained how you set the rebound for the shocks.
You can either push the suspension rod (?) all the way in and let the oil drip out or you can push it in 50% or just letting it be.

I wonder what effects this has on the car.


What im guessing is that low rebound makes it better for bumpier tracks ( so you rid ON the bumps and not IN them) and faster rebound for faster smoother tracks.


But then again...im an idiot...

I asked the question about the effect of rebound over on the xray forum and the response I got was that higher rebound actually acts like haveing a bit higher spring rate. Kind of for tuning the spring rates in between the rates that the different color springs offer.

+1, Thats what I've been tough, and have used as a tuning guide for my shock package(s). The only problem building rebound is, it can be hard at times to get all the shocks to the exact same percentages, to keep them consistent. (Typically when thicker oil is used) I typically build mine with zero rebound if possible, makes for much more consistent tuning. Though the X-Ray 808 shocks are the easiest I found to get the exact percentages I've been looking to use when needed...

Hans_Andersson

Exact percentages? Isnt it easiest just to measure how far you push it in? (oh god, count all the sexual inuendos).

Here is the best tool for gaugeing rebound and matching you shocks on the market.

Hans,

Measuring or using percentages achieves the same thing. I was referring to trying to get them to be exact after building in a specific rebound desired.


DJ, yeah that is a great tool for that.

I dont seem to get much life out of my clutchbell bearings, I get one saturday night club race and and then just a few tanks of practice of wed. and thats it. ive used the stock and the avids with no difference any ideas?

I go about a gallon of fuel ,but my second set has lasted through my second and 3rd gallon. I blow all the grease out of the bearings, and run them dry. I also make sure there is a little play in the clutch bell so it slides back and fourth just a slight bit.

Your doing something wrong!! I have 15 gallons on my stock bearings...... Just kidding, I have the same problem. I am going to try running the clutch bell looser than usual to see if that helps.

I have a gallon and a half thru the stock set of clutch bearings. You may want to check your clutch bell clearence.
