I believe Losi's is the same as Xray's for a total of 2mm. 1mm each side.

The ones I ordered on A-main say they increase the width by 4mm, so I assumed 2mm each side.

The true test will be in running... but on the bench the xray hexes seem to keep the wheels from rubbing. I tried the stock wheels and AKA city blocks.

I've run countless hours on the 8T 1.0 with no rubber mounts and have had no issues. Using the Hitec 5955TG all around. Intresting to hear folks are using them now. I read Casey Peck even dremeled the plastic so they would fit. I did however run the o-rings under the tray.

could be that the xray stock hubs are a little wider than the losi stock hubs. Therfore 1mm xray may be the same or wider than the losi 2mm hubs. idk. Good to know there may be another option.

The Losi stock hexes measured in at 4.29 and the Xray +1's at 5.11. Can someone measure the Losi +2's and post?

anybody tell me...will the 8t 2.0 body fit directly on the 8t 1.0? also will the 8b 1.0 body fit on the 8b 2.0? im painting more stock losi bodies and want to be sure that these will all mount up with what i have. thx

dirtdemon 03-29-2009 04:11 PM

They are not interchangeable.

the 2.0T you would require both front and rear 2.0 tower's + body mounts....and some cutting of the rear portion of the shell to make it work....so not exactly a direct fit. :lol:

as per the 1.0 body yes it will fit on the 2.0...but be wise to elongate the body hole to accommodate for chassis flex.

Broken servo saver
 
I hadent had any problem braking servo savers until i replaced the top part with an aluminum one. Then i broke two of them in one day. I know i have seen other on this thread with the same problem. Is the answer to it just to replace the spring with the 1.0 spring? Is the aluminum top half the problem?

Its all the spring imo. :nod:

I'm running the 2.0 spring with the alum top. I have the saver set looser than the manual says and I have had no problems. Just make sure the spring seats properly in the saver. The 2.0 spring is alot stiffer so it does not have to be as tight as the 1.0 spring.
