After running the STRR for the last year and a half, I think it's time for something new, and the 8T 2.0 looks to be the ticket! So, when ordering the truck, I need to order the following right away?

- new shock ends
- alum servo arm
- center smart diff (why not, right?!)

Anything else?

If you want you can buy the shockends are let HH warranty them.

I would also change the stock wheel bearings as a few are blowing them. I just changed mine and 3 of the 4 smaller bearing were griddy after one club race outting.

I also switched to aka rims, the stock rims rub the knuckles a little too much for my liking.

Thanks for the bearing info..I have those in the cart, as well as 2 sets of AKA rims and I Beams and City Block tires.

One more thing, is the clutch the same as it was on the original 8ight? Just wondering as am going to order extra shoes (KHZ) and springs if so...I take it a 3x2 hump pack for the batt?

Did you replace them with Losi bearings?

The clutch is the same as the older 8ights. I'm running the losi long wear shoes, after 3 race days they still look new with losi silver springs. I run a 2500 hump back, but you will have to dremel the bottom for it to fit.

This 1600 will fit with no problems.

I used Avids. I would bet the old losi bearing would work, thats all i use to run with no problems.

Dig it..thanks for the info!

Ran my new 2.0 for the first time today. What a great truck!

Quick question for you guys who have been running this new 2.0. What starter box are you using?

Will this one work? http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/13246

Thanks

The Ofna truggy Start is by far hands down the best box out there.

Easy set up also.

the losi box works fine, if u dont abuse it the motors will last, but if u run lipo replace the wireing to 12g

i finally got my 8t raced yestereday at revelation. i bent a front shock shaft. what's up with that. but got 2nd in amain. truggy drives good, but not as durable as my mugen...

ur the first 2 do that, ive never broken anything other then shock tower but once i replace the shock tower to the upgraded one nothin has happened

That’s nitro racing sometimes its not how fast you are or who TQ'ed but who finishes the race. I'm sure you have seen it too 10 to 12 drivers start the A-Main and at the end there are only 2-3 drivers who finish.

Raced my 8t 2.0 today for the first time and made the A-main. Unfortunately, the servo saver broke.

The truck handles great. Very happy with it thus far. I just wish it wasn't a race roller. No I have to take the car apart completely, so I know how to work on it.

i raced my 8t 2.0 and had problems with the front wheel nut came loose. i tightened it right b4 the main and it still came off the same one front left. luckly my aka wheel didn't strip. i guess i have to locktite it more. i too was at revalation sat racing.

i also use a ofna truggy starter box with a lipo in it. i just have to line up the front pegs and it's good.
