officially addicted to truggies!
I just bought another Truggy, probably spent to much but i love these things.
Ok, so my questions are, i already have a Losi 8ight T RTR and the one i just bought is a Team Kit, what is the difference? I see the chassis is different (flex tuned?) and the shock towers and shock caps? The kit is together, it has a brand new Werks B5 engine and JP3 pipe. I am just curious what the big difference is..

U should also look into getting a 2013 or 2058 pipe, a lot sell on here cheap so take advantage if u can score a deal. You should also look into some good servos like hitec 7955s or 7950s. Get yourself a good radio like m11x. If you want an indestructible set up do that, I have my truffles set up like this and never have issues with anything.

Overall quality in the kit is superior. Things you should upgrade to are aluminum servo saver arm, aluminum rear diff inserts, alu top plate, 10 degree inclind spindles, you absolutely need the v2 rear tower or carbon tower or else the rear end handles bumps bad, and get the gen III radio tray. Those things I would get first. Then look into alu rear hubs, one piece motor mount and titanium turnbuckles and titanium shock standoffs. U will have one badass truggy if u do all that.

A new track is opening here that has a truggy class so this is the perfect time to try it out and see if i'll like racing, im sure i will, i had my 8 t on a bmx track the other day, first time ever running an RC on some kind of track, i left so pumped up and amped and just knew i wanted to race these things..

For that kind of money I'd rather have an MT4 and a new engine/pipe or whatever...

He will only have the glitch problem if he is going to convert it to an e truggy.

I still dont understand why guys feel the Alum top plate is a requirement ? Its not like your going to break the stock plastic piece. so why the extra weight ?

I have two other Savox servos in two other trucks that i use with my DX3S, no problems at all? What is the problem that people experience with that combo? My lhs mentioned something about it being volts or something, i can't remember exactly..
