I've had my Losi 8E 2.0 for a year now and want to increase my total caster. What degrees are the stock spindle carriers (losa1709)? If I get the 10 degree
Carriers will that increase the total caster to 20 degrees? Or is that the stock
Total caster now. If so, I might need to get the 12 degree carriers.(22degrees)
Also when increasing the total caster, will that be better for high bite tracks or low Bite tracks? And do I need to decrease the camber also after increasing caster?

Total stock caster is 20 degrees. You can increase it by getting the 12 degree spindle carriers to make a total of 22 degrees.

Increasing overall caster helps in higher speed and/or bumpy and rough tracks. Less caster will gain you more steering, in both angle and "feel."

12 spindles make 24 caster.
10 spindles make 20 caster.
Always check camber, ride height, toe when changing parts.

I can say the BCE pro chassis is worth every cent, I was/am a tester and the fit and finish of the chassis is outstanding

Looks great. I think the one in the first pic is mine. See attached - my name is etched in it already.

In all seriousness, hope these ship soon! Put my order in on July 27 and I've been looking on my doorstep everday for the magic box.

Anyone else notice here lately that Losi is placing the shock in the outer hole on the a arm on the gas 2.0? I have been running mine on ebuggy in the inner hole(drake setup) calls for it to be mounted there. Anyone tried just moving too the outer hole on ebuggy and leaving everything else the same? What affect did it have? Thanks

Brian

Headling. Take a look at these SMC's. Danny from SMC is a great guy and his batteries are awesome.

I personally run Maxamps and swear buy them--irrespective of the co$t. Most guys in my area run Gens Ace w/o any major issues.

I am wearing out my 2nd and just ordered my 3rd. They are well worth the wait. I bought one of the first E-Lines for my buggy a few years ago and did take quite some time. The 2nd one came within a week but you might have to wait a little while due to the nature of the business. Awesome chassis and worth evry penny + time to ship. Bill at BCE is a great guy and stands behind his products.
