I have tried several different fuel lines in the losi tank, and they ALL get soft over time. Its what happens when your line is submerged in fuel all the time.

You just have to replace the line.

which is why, im sure most of you guys don't store your trucks with fuel in the tank. the only time my tank has fuel, and my line is submerged.. is when the truck is running.

I agree with above posts. The line in the tank softens up over time allowing it to bend more easily. Losi has 2 different fuel lines. One is light blue and the other is clear. I don't even bother with the light blue stuff. It is way too soft for inside the tank. Some tanks come with the blue in them and I usually replace it with the clear line immediately. It can also happen if your clunk is not positioned in the tank correctly or if the line pulls out some during a race. You want the clunk towards the back of the tank in the little indentation. Not too far back as to where it gets hung up on the back tank wall. Best way to make sure it is in the right place is to shake the tank around a bit with it out of the truck to make sure it isn't getting caught on anything.;)

Info on how to use Adjustable Front/Rear Hinge Pin Brace/Inserts
 
1 Attachment(s)
Any info around on selecting the right inserts for particular tracks or needs.
I have ordered a kit but I would like to know how to use them.





Team Losi Adjustable Front/Rear Hinge Pin Brace/Inserts
[LOSA1754]
This is the Adjustable Rear Hinge Pin Brace with inserts for the Team Losi 8ight buggy and 8ight-T Truggy. This hinge brace has been machined from 6mm aircraft grade aluminum, and hard anodized for durability. This plate has been redesigned from the previous version. It is now a solid plate, and eliminates the holes in the brace for greater reliability. This brace set with inserts includes 16 adjustment cams for quick and easy Toe, Anti-Squat, and Kick-Up adjustments.

You honestly won't adjust them all that frequently.

Run the STOCK rear toe block on the rear. Use the adj. forward brace; but run 0-inserts (this goes for buggy and truggy).

The fronts run all 0-inserts. Unless you have an *extremely* rough track I doubt you'll want to increase it. Of course you can try it other ways.

Occasionally on a high bite track, or any time you want more forward bite, you can decrease the rear anti-squat. Or, if you have a really fast track that has some high speed sweeping turns, you can increase it a bit (.5 deg.)

Its hard to determine that, the track plays a BIG part in steering. And the setup will be different depending on the dirt on the track.
