Does anyone have an aluminum throttle servo horn for gen II tray that they really like. I have been using the Racer's Edge horn and the wholes are getting worn out. I liked it but would like something that sits higher to give more clearance between the bottom of the horn and the top of the servo.

If it fits it werks. Is ther slogan. And with My 8T 2.0 RTR that is the case. I run a Werks B5 in my modded 8T 2.0 RTR truggy. And have had no issues with the Losi 8T 2.0 rtr radio tray and losi 8T 2.0 rtr 12t clutch bell, and 8T 2.0 rtr diff mount. With flextune chases. And it is absloute Monster! AS far as the rear diff the 8T 2.0 RTR diff setup is best. My Buddy has tried to get the TLR rear diff to work for 2 years with no success. He keeps Blowing it out. And after seeing the way I Bash/Race my 8T 2.0. He is going back to the RTR Diff. setup. And 2 shims on each side. I have rebuilt my diffs every month. Since December 2011 and have not changed anything but the oil inside 2OOO is best. I tried 3000 it pushes to hard for me. The front won't turn. :( Keep it simple. READ the Book. And follow it! Some people try to be diffrent and it back fires. Thats what the race Roller book is for. Thats why it comes with the RTR. Its not a RTR book. It's The Race Roller Book. In the Diffs. 7000 Front 10000 Middle 2000 Rear. When you change the diff. Put Black Grease on the gears and seal the gear box on all the seams....
What I state in this post is what I run and has worked for me without issue. I Just wrapped up 1st place for Spt Truggy March-April Sires at Hot Rods Hobbies in So Cal. ( I had no cometition. Literally. ) :D

Yo, Chiefin, good job man! You need to race Saturdays with us! Stop this Friday non-sense!;) Did i mention that i got 1st place expert truggy for the Saturday series! :D Last Saturday, Trenton blew his rear diff, and i was complaining i thought i heard noises from mine. His let go during the second qualifer, mine started to let go with about 5 minutes left in the main. I limped it home and still finished 2nd to Trenton. Come on out Saturday! New series!

I have seen Hudy ones and Dynamite ones. Both seemed to work pretty goo. A few pages back there was a post on how it chop off the stub and use just a straight screw job to eliminate the majority of wear and slop.

Talk to Ron at Werks. You NEED to get the pull angle right on the Werks in a Losi dead on or you will damage the carb slide. May want to look into the split center diff mount to be sure you get a good angle.

how do i set it all up

Vito when I got my B6 in I went this direction and had some guys at a local race that run Werks help me get it dead on. Ron was nice enough to send me a new slide out since my first one bent since it was not straight, but I now run the Gen III tray. I can try and get you a picture of the dremeled down top plate if you would like.

"The top plate for tbe center diff can be dremeled down to almost flat, on the end facing the carb slide, so you can get carb straight as possible, to where throttle linkage is level and 90 degrees when servo horn is in neutral position, the stock radio tray allows too much flex in the radio tray when racing, which can create carb slide binding if all is not perfect, which also can create more stress on throttle servo. The Gen III is the best way to go, regardless of what engine your using. JMO"

Just installed the Gen III radio tray into my truggy - it took a lot more tweaking than I originally thought - especially with the linkages. After a few hours of mucking around last night (washed down with a few beers) it looks like its all set to run. The only problem(s) I have is the box for the receiver is far too small to include the transponder. I could probably cut down the servo wires but I dont really want you to minimise their use if I change cars. I see that Adam Drake runs his in the front box but I use the SR3001 receiver and the spare space is next to zero. Any ideas on where to mount? Pics?

Here's what I do, I just get some Velcro tape and Velcro my transponder to the cover above your steering ackerman plate. Works great, never had an issue with it coming off. You will need to dremmel out a small hole in your receiver box to allow the wire to go from receiver to the plate above your Ackerman though.

On the Losi cars I have always had the transponder velcro'd to the outside of the tray. I still use the gen2 tray so mine sits rear of the Rx box. Not that it helps with the gen3 issue but you would be ok to mount outside of the Rx box.

It is tight to put the transponder into the receiver box, I use the spektrum 3500 receiver, its really small, and gives you enough room for a AMB transponder, there is also smaller transponders available, not sure of the brand, but they are compatible to AMB systems. My son races a Losi 2.0 buggy, and he used velcro on the top of the receiver box lid, and making a small notch on the edge of the receiver cover, to were there is enough room so it will not get pinched when cover is installed, it works fine, and he has never had a problem with it coming off.
