#183
ok guys, I know that this is in the nitro section, but here's a vid of me running my bce chassis converted. Excuse the driving...I'm a sportsman class driver. I'm sure there's alot that can be done to improve my setup, but I haven't be driving truggy long and there isn't alot of info on the 8ight truggy set up for electric expecially for one as light as mine.

The front driveshaft rubbed with the stock chassis as well. It's just how this trck is lots of flex which equals more traction and better handeling. I am lo ing this chassis so far 2 big race days and my lap times are a little faster and I am very consistent. I installed one on a 2.0 buggy and 1st time driving I was less than 2 seconds off the tq. I had never driven a buggy before. That's not too bad. Great job bce satisfied customer here.

i knew it rubbed before. it just rubs alot more now. its only becaause we have had to lift the center diff the extra 1mm. i dremiled a little bit off the side of the radio tray and its problem fixed
i had a great TQ and win last weekend at a track i usually dont do so well at. its the first time i've been there with this chassis. it was a massive improvement through the rythem sections compaired to the last time i raced there
on another note i tested how strong the chassis is by accident. i took a knock coming along the front straigh at top speed and my car got caught on the rope sending it straight into the end of pit wall at full speed. the chassis is still dead flat so it can take a pounding

Since this thread has fallen off a bit I wanted to get everyone on here that runs the chassie to post there setup's to get a good base and to possibly add them to the bce website. Over the next week or so I will be converting a 1.0 over with the chassie and a few other thing to run at the upcoming nitrocross world championships. If anyone has any questions about the chassie or have any problems, concerns, setup tips, suggestions, etc post them up.

I run pretty much stock setup. I do use the smart diffs front (4 .15 springs and shims) and center (2 .15 springs 2 coils cut off and shims) and then I lowered the shock oil to 32.5 front and 27.5 rear. I also run a 3-3 toe plate in the rear. Droop, ride height, camber and front toe are all stock. The truck drives great.
I did have a shock mishap yesterday that caused my to drive around with only one rear shock for 10-12 mins. I finished in 4th but the BCE chassis is significantly thinner at the rear on the side that drug the hardest. I amy need a new chassis. Are the chassis's in the production version or still prototype as I have a prototype version. Thanks. The chassis handles awesome. Great job BCE.

I raced my converted 8ightT 2.0 with BCE chassis this weekend in the 5th rnd of our state point sereies. Even though the we didn't finish the race due to rain, I still TQed and finished first via qualifiers. The truck handled great, it almost seemed like the truck was always pointing in the direction it needed to be and the jumping and handling was amazing, seemed to float over everything.
