It is IMO the most nimble truggy on the market. It will turn under most every other truggy. The extra length it has and REAL 0 offset(wide arm) setup make it very stable. It also has losi parts support, which is second to none. Most every hobby shop stocks or can order horizon stuff. It is also very tough. Get the couple little bugs worked out of it and it is bullet proof.:nod:

Question,
Is it nexassary to cut out a section of the front window for cooling air flow? It looks as though the body would block any direct air flow to the head. It seems as though the body is designed to suck air up around the block and around the head. Wouldn't the other openings (front wheel wells) supply enough air? Or are you trimming away the body where it blocks air to the head? The scribed hole in the top of the body would be for fueling more so than anything else right? Looks like it's time to break out the fuel gun.

no need for any additional cooling holes. With this body on the 8T 2.0 the engine will almost run as cool as it would if the same engine was in a buggy:nod:

Just ran the new 2.0 truggy and its hands down better than the 1.0 I ran,

One thing I did notice were some cracked rims on a few 2.0's, both stock Losi and the AKA's. I mounted up a set of AKA's and by the end of the day, I found one cracked on the back side of the wheel going straight out towards the front. Been a long time since I cracked a wheel on a truggy. Anyone have that happen? Any ideas of what might be the cause? Ran pretty clean all day, so I am stumped and a little bummed at the same time. Thanks for any help.

The AKA truggy wheels have had a few problems with cracking, but AKA has made new wheels with stronger molds to help prevent this.

send them in to AKA and they will replace them with New one's...they want to see the cracked rims for themselves :nod:

i read that in the AKA thread a while back.

I have had 3 AKA rims crack ond one almost shatter on my 8T 2.0 with no hard hits or tumbles. I will have to send them back to AKA.

rims dont shatter from not crashing...common frank get real.

same here have 2 cracked rims on my truggy might have to send them in but they are such great tires i will never run another set of any other brand rim or tire.

I would think landing some big jumps on one wheel would put a lot of stress on a brittle rim. I can see them cracking without being caused by crash damage.

That sounds like a direct hit on me personally. If you dont like it then deal with it but it was at practice and I'm telling you no crashes or hard hits. It is what it is. Even though I had the problem I still purchased 2 more sets. AKA's are just a great match for this truggy.

i agree on the tires being the best in the market but dont believe rims can crack from just running on the track...big landing's or Not....well maby if they are chassy slapping off something like the Psycho Nitro Blast style jumps...but anything else No....you physically need to hit something or tumble pretty hard to tweek a wheel.

And what do they crack from Integra, falling off the bench maybe.

hitting the pipe at WOT....nosediving off the big tripple....casing a jump you KNOW you shouldn't be....take your pick...wheels crack...but not from just running the car around the track....you have to hit something and or crash/tumble first. :nod:

Actually I don't believe that is the case at all. All of the brands of wheels seem to be cracking on the 2.0. I cracked a set of prolines on mine and saw both losi and AKA's cracked. I never once cracked a 1/2 offset rim on my 1.0. Not sure what the problem is, but all the brands seem to be cracking. I guess we just gotta start boiling them now. And no I didn't crash into anything at wot.
