k guys need opinions.
My dad bought a brand new 8t 2.0 off a buddy of ours who went to mugen after building this 8t. it has lighten outdrives, lightened 48 spur,v2 tower,alum chassis brace front and rear,alum servo saver top,+ 2mm Wheel Hexes all way around. and m2c hinge pin braces.
The first qualifer he broke the bell crank right below the servo saver top. wasnt a bad crash but i could see it. Second qualifer same thing, but this time i didnt see the crash, he talked with bill fisher and he gave him the plastic top. during his main the m2c brace broke in half, the bad thing is he didnt crash, it landed perfect on the downside of a jump, rolled the next and it broke. keep in mind i had his truck apart looking at his whole front end seeing if somethin was up and they didnt look damaged at all.
He said this truck is really twitchy, i havent driven it so idk. I told him it does need to break in but when i break in trucks its not like i cant drive it. he said his engine seems to have tons of power and other thing i cant come up with is the lightened out drives? but the 48 spur would counter act any bottom the lightened driveline gave him right?
I told him to take m2c stuff off put losi hinge pin brace on(not saying m2c is bad just didnt work for him, he has never broken a losi brace since 8t2.0 came out), told him replace the rear chassis brace with plastic. Is there anything else i am missing, i told him the +2mm extenders would make it more stable not twitchy right? Ive never driven the truck btw so i dont have first hand exp of the truck
