TLR 8IGHT E 3.0 THREAD
#436
Ryan or Casper,
I'm starting my build today and have a few questions.
When building the servo saver, do we really back the nut off 5 1/2 turns or should I lock it down? The SCTE 2.0 we locked it down tight.
Also I'm assuming that the front clip has 10 deg. build it and 15 deg spindles like the SCTE 2.0. Is this right? On setup sheets that say 27 degs, that would be plus 2 on the hinge pin inserts (1 up and 1 down). Am I right in thinking this?
Thanks Guys!

The SCTE uses 10 deg caster blocks.
Both cars have nominal 10 deg kickup.
The 8ight 3.0 kit setups calls for front kick up spacers to be 1 up in front and 1 down in rear to give an extra 2 deg to the nominal 10 deg kickup and 15 deg caster.

Its surprising how much steering you can lose or gain from the servo saver. Mine is backed off one turn. Also if you plan on using the aluminum servo saver I'd recommend not using a aluminum servo horn. Too much metal. Use a plastic horn with the aluminum saver. Or vice versa. This will also protect your servo and make it last longer.

Servo Horn in 'aluminum' and a Servo Saver Arm in 'aluminum' is the way to go and has been for a very long time.
The give or insurance to your servos comes from properly setting your servo saver not the plastics.

Thanks guys,
I'm using the Hitec 8370 titanium servo. 320oz and .10 sec. I think that servo will be alright. I'll tighten her down and back off 1/2 turn. I'm also using the Losi alum. servo horn but was going to keep the plastic servo saver arm. Do you think I need to get an alum?

Will the kit setup work for outdoor tracks? Loose, bumpy, big jumps. If not where would I start with piston/shock oil?
#444
Ryan, do you have a part number for that. I will call and get one today. I think I saw some place that there are two or three different ones. Is that right?
About the shock setup for outdoor, Loose, bumpy, and large jumps, I'm setting mine up for a track like that. I was going to use the 8 hole piston setup that is on the nitro 3.0 but go down 2.5 in weight. Does that sound right Ryan?
Thanks Man.

Ok I think it is this one. TLR has it listed under the Nitro 3.0 optional parts.

I have never heard of this logic your suggesting and would not follow it, period.
