Hello, long time MT racer here but newb 8ight-T question.
Against my better judgment I bought the RTR instead of the roller because the price went down so much. Out of the box the rear a-arms have a little play in them on the hing pins, like they need spacers or something. Any idea how I can fix them? I have upgraded a few things, but not anything around the towers/hinge pins.
Thanks, -Jim

Seriously....don't worry about it, just run it.

yep, run it. I bought one and thought the same thing. I talked around and its a Losi characteristic. Honestly, after buying my RTR and talking with the entire track regulars, you cannot buy a better beginner set up. The truck is basically the Roller model with the exception of towers and chasis ONLY. And the only diff. there is about 1/32 of thickness and fancy color. I am very pleased witht he racing ability of my RTR, i put new servos in it and its been awesome!!!

motor mounts and diff fluid,

Thanks for the replies.
I've already pulled the roto start, put the back plate on, and dropped the mill to use a bump box. Also replaced the all the stock diff grease w/ silicone . It came w/ a JR650 on the steering which "seems" to be ok so far, although I'm used to a little more w/ my Revo's. (DS8711's)
I was just wondering if the thicker tower would take up the slop on the rear arms.
Thanks again...

No need to take up the slop....its there for a reason....the only time to replace the rear arms...is when Both ends of the arms are wiggling on the pin and you can confirm it with the arm removed and wiggling a hinge pin in the arm....the tower's have nothing to do with the lower arms....


losi_racer...what about all the Ti parts and the shock caps.

IndianJim
