R/C Tech Forums

Lots of on throttle landings. Big pointless ski jump in the middle that required constant throttle corrections. Brutal rythm section that only a select few could do consistantly. More about the design of the track than the surface.:nod:

I know what you mean i run two tracks often that have a lot of on throttle landings and its rough on r&p's, i put a set in 2 weeks ago after losing a set and they are already popping; any tips on tightening up mesh or something, can the alum inserts from the 1 be used, is the case worn etc..

He is modding the bulkheads to accept the larger bearings required for the XT8 pinions. You also have to use a different driveshaft. I will post the specifics once I get my stuff back. :nod:

The diff setup is exactly the same between the two. You can use a 1.0 gearbox and bearing inserts if you want, but the 2.0 versions are better. I too never had issues with diffs on the 1.0, but I also never had outer bearing troubles, if you get my point. It's a different truggy, so it has different issues. I really don't think the gearbox is the problem. The guy that is doing the XT8 mods(Mark Mader) did some testing and decided the pinion was the problem.:nod:

Has anyone found 8t 2.0 arm guards for the rear yet without just re-drilling the 1.0 guards?

Yep. I make a set every now and then when I want the buggy to look pimpish and clean. Just so the lexan looks super clear.

I know this may be the wrong tread, but i run a 2.0 with a os speed worlds 2 coming in the mail. I was wondering what pipe I should run with it, the os 2050 ot 2060? The track I run on is very technical with alot of s turns and a long straight with one big jump about 12ft in length. Thanks in advance for the input.
