I busted a 2.0 servo tray. This new composit plastic is not the same as the old stuff. More rigid!

Just my $.02

How the heck did you break the radio tray? From the chassis flexing?

Do the 1.0 mud guards fit with the arms being longer?

Why do you think the shock ends are stripping? From bouncing around?

Sorry - I should have been a little clearer...the tray was in my buggy not the 2.0 truggy. Its not from chassis flex. A buddy just picked up his 2.0 truggy and he called to tell me how much better he thought the truck is than the original! lap times dropped by 2 seconds on the same track....

I had that exact problem with my 8T 1.0 until I replaced it with the alum. upgrade. It would break every other race, but I’m not the best driver either. So I don't think this is a new problem; hence, the alum upgrade. Any part I €have ever broke during a race and replaced with the alum upgrade always pays off. My 2.0 hasn’t even been on the track yet and I have the alum servo saver installed already.

How do you test the servo saver with it on the truck to see if it is working?

Yes, the 2.0 Aluminum Servo Saver Arm fits the 8ight 2.0 & 8ight-T 2.0 Part number LOSA4443 http://losi.com/Products/Features.aspx?ProdId=LOSA4443

No, the 1.0 Aluminum Servo Saver Arm doesn't fit the 2.0's.

To check your servo saver tension is kind of a feel thing. You want it to give way enough where it takes the stress away from your servo on a hard hit. But you don't want it to be so loose that it makes your car push.

my front left and buddy's front left 2.0B shocks had the shock ends over tightened and the plastic was all melted into the threads of the shock shaft...it was only front left tho. ..are the 2.0T's stripped or did they just pull out ?
