Electrics are for people with limited intellectual abilities. Just plug and play.

A high post count could mean 2 things......you've been on here for a long time, or ......you have no life.

Thumbs up

yes. they are a much tighter fit on the side to side play. we also took some of the runout out of the front bearing the injection mold left .005 to .006 run out and now there is about 2 to 3. i am doing spindles just for the simple fact of buying 1 size outer bearing and that even the front bearings were locking up not blown yet, but on there way out the door for sure. thanks again tix for the tip.

Hopefully Losi will pull there finger out and start making them as a hopup part. That way we won't have to spend so much time machining them up.

Anyone in the US be sure to contact J-DUB for this mid. If your in Australia and want it done I can get it done for you

since when do you HAVE to have the new dirt guards ? you can just shave the stock one....and FWIW you do Not Need to buy anything linkages related.....ive rigged up 3 1.0T linkages to work with the 2.0 parts no problem.

I'm sorry I was under the impression that they were longer on the 2.0. Personally I would rather have the longer linkages. I feel it's better than making them fit.

+1. Unless you buy the 2.0 radio tray you don't need dirt guards or the linkage. If you want to put the 2.0 tray on all you have to do is cut a lil' out of the radio side dirt guard and get some longer linkage rods, or I'm sure you can make the stock ones reach.

Pretty good 1st outing for the 8T 2.0 at the Nitro Challenge. After Qualifying:

1) Ryan Cavalieri - AE
2) Mike Truhe - Losi/GRP
3) Travis Amezcua - Hot Bodies
4) Adam Drake - Losi/GRP
5) Cody King - Kyosho
6) Ryan Maifield - AE
7) Ty Tessmann - Hot Bodies
8) Jared Tebo - Kyosho
9) Billy Fischer - Losi/Novarossi
10) Philip Atondo - Losi/Novarossi
11) Jesse Robbers - Hot Bodies
12) Martin Bayer - Losi/GRP
13) Yannik Agoin - Losi/Novarossi

6 of the top 13, and 10 in the top 26 (A & B mains). I know there are at least 5 in the Open Truggy A-Main also - not too shabby!

Your right your post is useless. So are all the rest of them applying to this subject by all parties. Enough with the bickering already.

Prolly not. You will spend ALOT to get everything to be 2.0 spec. There are just too many changes made to the truggy to be cost effective to convert it. You are just better off buying a 2.0. I mean they changed chassis, shock setup, arm length, wheel offset, all kinds of geometries, all driveshafts except the from center, etc. Really it is just too much to convert.
