I forgot to mention I painted mine with glow in the dark paint mixed in the yellow. Here is a cool pic with the aid of a black light:

They included the new "High Endurance" clutchbell in the 8ight T 2.0, a nice change. Im looking forward to see how much longer they last compared to the regular Losi clutchbells. I still wish they sold it as a kit, I miss building it myself.:p

ive never stripped a clutch bell until last weekend, it bell in my 2.0, so ill go back to the original if anythin was changed

The company in someplace like Korea. Takes forever to ship. Rc-mushroom is the cheapest on just about everything check out the price on an OS Vspec and the GRP's have been 319.00 forever. Just have to wait fir shipping.

I ran the 8t for a season and only broke one rear drive shaft. I also smacked a piece of plywood divider at full speed but did not break. Hinge pins and suspension holders bent but I finished the race.

The issues are minor. Rear outer hingepins suck! Drill out the hubs and arms and use the new style pin. Some folks had issues with the diff cases being to soft which in turn would grenade your diff. Pick up a HD losi diff case for the center and it should not be a problem. Always check your left rear and right front lower shock mount screws as they like to back out. Also make sure your shock spring cups are facing the right way. Put the opening toward the wheel. This way they will not pop off during a hit. Thats all I can think of for now.

Modhobby.com has a couple for $599!!!! :D
Get em quick before they are gone @ that price!

Now that I have actually touched my new truggy (for about 5min at 1am when I finally got home) my first impression is that I wonder if Pro-Line is going to come out with a limousine or bus body for this thing?:weird: This thing looks way longer than I thought it would......

Now to take some of the goodies off the 1.0 and TRY to sell it.....
