My modded om my 8T saw over 6 months of racing without a bearing change.


I dont want to sound like a rude prick, but im fair sick of it being called the J-DUB Hub Mod when it was my idea. It was me who found J-DUB to do it for you in the USA so i didnt have to ship them half way around the world.
I came up with this design back in April last year. So far i've had my idea ripped off by 2 mainstream companies (KH and Integy) who wouldn't even know who to thank for the money they have made off someone elses idea. J-DUB does a great job on the mod and i hold no grudge on him doing the work but even he will tell you its not his mod. I just didnt want people to have to pay for shipping from Australia

Losi made a massive mistake with the release of the 8T 2.0 with the 14mm bearing, and it took the commen racer to fix the problem. Not a pro or an engineer on a 6 figure pay packet.
The big companies have no problems stealing your ideas to line there own pockets but have massive problems giving credit where credit is due.
next time ill copyright the idea and charge them for it.


Anyway continue to contact J-DUB if you live in the states. He does an awsome job.
If you live in the Southern Hemisphere and you need the hubs send me a PM
Dont be tempted to waste your money on the aluminium hubs when the plastic ones will last forever.

Sorry, But that is wrong. You are correct that the shock screws are the correct length for the camber links, however they are also the correct length for the shock ends. You can just swap the screws around, but you will end up with shorter shock screws, and when the screws already back out from vibrations, the longer the better. Just to let you know. You want that extra length for the shock screws.:nod:
