Or the fuel tubeing on the pull rods is breaking down, or the pads have too much slop in them and they come in too late. I change the fuel tubeing all the time.

i would check the disc's first. :nod: easier then taking apart the linkages and loosing your brake settings.

Good points on brake maint. I do pull clean and sand the discs with 220 grit paper but I dont use much front brake and I have it set to hit pretty late. I'll set them up closer since the rear disc is so small, I may have to get used to using a tiny bit more front brake since this truck turns so well, I never have had to brake steer it. I also run it with nearly zero delay in breaking and dubro fuel tubing on the links last a long time. So I am guessing that it is brake bias more than anything else.

does sound like your brake bias . you can tighten them up to a reasonable setting you like and the trim your epa down on the handset and you wont have a problem with any flexing issues

crazysavage 07-23-2009 05:27 PM

I have several hours in my brake set up and I place a high percentage of good lap times on braking. Right now it is perfect but the radio tray is flexing and I use quite a bit of exponential curve to make them smooth and easy to use. I am going to go back to the drawing board and get the front brake more involved. If it reduces or eliminates the flex, I will be surprised. I have noticed that many of the pro- drivers use stiffeners and they all use brakes at a way higher level than most club racers, some use a ton of drag brake and I'm just not good enough to master that...I've tried and it was a disaster.

rear diff fluid in 8ight t 2.0??
 
hey i know it says rc8nate b/c it is and i run an rc8t, but i need to know what weight to use for rear diff fluid for my buddys car, the guy at the hobby shop tried to tell us it was 5000 wt and we thought it was a little high and we looked up some pros set-ups and their like 1500, what should he run?

Losi crappy quality? :weird:

You may need to stick with monster trucks, if you're bashing, the losi can't take the beating. I have run the losi trucks since they came out, rarely do I change out any parts. I occasionally change the bearings. They are not the toughest vehicles though

should i change the camber, rear camber link or both? if one, which one first?

THANKS

With normal center and front diffs 2k or 3k is good. I run 5k in the rear with the center and front smart diffs.

Will the 8ight t 2.0 rtr front diff fit in 1.0? just dont know if there is a physical size difference

aaron joy 07-23-2009 09:29 PM

Yes it will bolt right in. RTR just comes with the HD diff housings that's all.
