Already running it by the looks of it. You can see the new steering and front suspension setup along with the throttle servo turnbuckle in this pic going backwards to the throttle bellcrank.
thats not the new radio tray, obviously. It doesn't have the switch in the back.

The link your seeing is his steering link

My big issue with the rollers was that you had to take them apart and reseal/fill diffs and stuff. I hear ya that they should not remove the roller option also, but sure hope they continue to do kits as well.

That first two years of no 2.0 kits sucked!

It is unclear because it looks like the servo horn is facing outwards not inwards like it does on the steering rack. I might not be seeing it right though...

"if losi change too much of it, well it's not a losi anymore."


so if you want a "Losi" when the 3.0 comes out, buy an AGAMA LMAO

It gives you more left hand steering...at full lock to left (standard link setup) you will notice that the tie rod end hits the steering rack which limits the travel.

Billy always does custom stuff.that acherman arm u c n the pic is a rack done by a local that puts bearings n the rack instead of bushings.

If it will be a whole car its ganna be awhile before release. also I dought there will be a whole new 3.0. Odds are its ganna be a update like Mugen, and AE.
No rush to spend my hard earned cash.

well the truggy pic is of Fischer, he isnt with losi anymore, he is driving the 8t 2.0 because durango doesnt have a truggy yet. If anything is done to the truggy he has modified it.

The rear drive shaft has not moved on either the truck or the buggy

Here is a better pic of the new throttle and steering links. Obviously the throttle servo was moved forward to increase the front weight bias. Also from the looks of it, losi noobs will not be going through throttle servos since this will make it much easier to align the linkage via the turnbuckle. Hopefully it also is a stronger plastic so it will not develop slop in the link.

The new steering linkage looks really cool. It will give you full steering throw on both sides. It may also help remove some slop that can develop in the ackerman links.
