gents,

having issues with my throttle servo mount. the plastic back plate has popped off in a crash and i have lost the parts.

they seemed kind of flimsy to begin with. are there any upgrade parts that i can use for replacements or am i stuck with these stupid plastic brackets that i know i will lose again?

i think i know what you talking about:lol:, i use the lock nuts that come with the servo

I just picked up my first Losi 8ight 2.0 buggy. Just looking for some tips and upgrades for it but 847 pages?! Cant the chit chat be removed and the tech highlighted?! haha. This is gonna take awhile. :D

I have the TLR 8ight T 2.0 version coming soon. Is there any upgrades this truggy needs or is it great out of the box? Will be using a lipo pack and also any recommemdation for servos that will handle 7.4 volt. Would like to build this thing once instead of adding to it later.

THIS IS THE TRUGGY THREAD U PICKLE....:lol::lol::lol:

Truck is pretty solid out of the box.

Alum. Servo saver top and alum. rear gear box inserts are a must.

I would highly recommend getting the V2 rear shock tower.

Could other nice options are the 10* castor blocks, inclined spindles and adjustable hinge pin holders(make sure to get the LRC one for the rear)

I personally wouldn't be investing in Inclined or Non Inclined spindle and carrier's just yet. With the "3.0" parts on the horizon it appears they are throwing us a curve ball and changing up said parts.

Do tell what you have heard.

V2 shock tower, Xtreme carbon fiber, or King headz tower?
 

Looking to change my rtr rear shock tower. Any suggestions on the ones listed? Any one better than another? thanks guys

V2 FOR SURE.
 

THE V2 is a Losi Product and Once I installed mine I cannot believe the difference It has made to the truck I kept everything as it was (mounting holes) exept for Using the outter holes for the Shocks and My truck Is alot more settled more traction and turns on a dime.
Best thing I ever did for the truck was to buy the V2 rear tower.
You wont be disapointed...:nod:

Yea caught on once I started reading. :rolleyes: haha thanks

Hey guys got a shock q?
I was changing my shock oil on my 8T 2.0 and noticed a potential problem. When I took the caps off the rear shocks and compressed the shock fully, the piston comes all the way out the cap. Bottom of the piston sits a little higher than the top of the shock body. I even replaced the shaft's with the Nitrade ones, same thing. Eyelets are definitelly screwed on all the way. Front shocks look normal with the top of the piston sitting a little below the top. Is it normal on these cars for the rears to be like this? It just seems odd and looks like it could possibbly do damage to the piston/bladder if it compressed to far?

nothing to worry about, 2 years and no problems yet;)

Nice, just wanted to make sure I wasnt the only one:) Still seems odd though. Also shock extends so far in the rear, im constantly ripping boots!
Anyway, thanks for the quick reply!

the shocks wont compress enough because of the slight bind at full compress to cause an issue with the bladder. as far as the boots go are you using the 8t 2.0 boots? there are reg losi boots then there are 8t boots for the rear
