Hey guys, I just picked up a losi 8t 2.0 and I need some advice. I use a servo that is not listed in the book as far as using the spacers for it. I use a ACE 1015 servo for throttle/brake. Do i need the shims??? I also use a jr 8711 for steering, are spacers needed for that also??

It's pretty easy to tell if you need them or not. When you install the servos, check to see if they are rubbing the chassis. If they rub, you will need a set of spacers. If not, you're good to go. As long as the bottom of the servo isn't rubbing the chassis there is no need for them.

for you guys running short ackerman i'd like to know how the truck drives compared to the long one, do you get any more steering or just quicker responding steering

well i cant speak about the 2.0 t , but on my eight -t 1.0 ive tried the long and short ackerman rack and the short rack feels better to me you get more turn in and more steering throw its quick though lol .


but i whould just use it on a big track that has tight techinal turns.


you might like it it takes time to, get used to it can get you off guard when your driving.

The short ackerman plate will give you more off power turn-in. It will kill a bit of on power steering. The short ackerman is good for tight tracks and the long is better for wide open tracks. I almost exclusively run the short plate. I like the off power turn-in that it provides. I will only run the long plate on a very wide open track that doesn't have a lot of tight turns. The short plate also allows equal steering throw in both directions. With the long plate the steering link end hits the ackerman plate itself in one direction, which limits the throw slightly. Overall, the short plate will give you more turn-in at the sacrifice of a bit of on power steering. It will also make the steering a bit more "twitchy"(if that is possible with a truggy) so it may take a bit of getting used to. It makes the truck feel a lot more like a buggy in the turns, but still remains planted.

thanks jammin i'll have to try it this week, i tried a setup last week and had crazy onpower and loved it, but i lost a lot of offpower and turn radius, what can i do to regain some of that. i put the front camber link in lower hole, i'll put on short ackman, bumpsteer up? etc....

Short ackerman will help a lot. Thinner rear sway bar, shorter rear camber links.
