I do like the way my current box fits the RC8. You don't have to move the car all around to get it to work properly. I see there are some mentions of problems with the Losi boxes. Can anyone give a good suggestion as to what to use?

Thanks for the info!

Edit....Sorry, I just realized that I'm posting in the 8T section. But hey, if anyone can help, that would be great.
which box are you using for the rc8?

Unhappy Rear bearing issue

I had the bearing issue this weekend. It was my first organized race event. It was only the left rear inner and outter bearing but after 3 - 5min quals they were blown. Then after the 30 min main they were blown again. I used new losi bearings the same ones I used when I raced my 1.0. I never had this many issues. The track was fast and mostly smooth a small rythum section and one drop off but not a rough track at all. I think I'm going to have to upgrade to a larger bearing like some of you have done. Anyone have any more info on the king headz rear hubs?

The losi adj. rear toe blocks have a range of to between 2 and 4 degrees. Not sure about antisquat though. The losi system is really the best.

The M2C kit is adjustable from 0.5° to 5.0° (in 0.5° increments) for Toe, and 1° to 5.0° (in 1.0° increments) for AntiSquat. There are also custom 0.25° increment inserts included with the kit. Plus, the anodizing matches the new 2.0 chassis and towers, and can be custom engraved with your name.
