Hey guys, Ive been reading this thread for awhile now and it sounds like people are pretty stoked about this trug, once you get the bugs worked out. I'm considering making the switch to the Losi 2.0 from a Kyosho ST-RR. I love the Kyosho but it always seems like im breaking A-arms or hub carriers or something. I'd be very interested to hear from some folks who've owned or at the very least driven both trucks, and have some comparison points regarding handling, durability, etc. I know another guy asked about this several pages back but I dont think he got much response.
Thanks in advance

Now comes the 2.0. I have driven and helped tune my freinds ST-RR and its an awesome truck. On high speed cornering the ST-RR would kill my 1.0 no questions asked. The new 2.0 truggy is just as good now as the St-RR in high speed cornering. Acceleration the ST-RR is no match for the 1.0 and the 2.0 has the same great acceleration!!
Off power my 1.0 could out turn most buggies. The 2.0 doesn't have as much off power steering as my 1.0 did but has WAAAYYY more than a ST-RR!!! Jumping, the 1.0 was good, the 2.0 takes it to a whole new level. Its by far the best jumping truggy out right now. The rough track handling of the 2.0 is ridiculous as well, it really hast to be felt how easy it is to drive this truck in the rough stuff. Where other truggies are getting tossed around the 2.0 goes threw like a warm knife threw butter
Durability can't even be compared between the 2.0 and ST-RR. You'll snap 10 times the stuff on the ST-RR. Losi plastic is soft enough where if you take a nasty hit the arms won't break.
Couple small assembly issues like locktiting a few bolts and adding a couple longer screws wich for me aren't really issues becuase I go threw my vehicles before I run them anywase
Also loosen the servo saver spring a 1/2 turn from where the book recommends and you'll be good to go. Also add soem locktite to all the set screws.

quick question:
im going to be buying an SC8 in a couple weeks but plan on buying a 8ight T 2.0 whenever i get more money saved up.. but my question is will the radio that comes with the SC8 work with the 8ight T 2.0 also?

Having driven for Losi for 2+ years now I know ther products in and out. There 1.0 truggy was really good but lacked in only one area. High speed cornering. The truggy just couldn't carry allot speed without the rear end stepping out.

Do they accomodate the larger 8x16x5 bearing or is it meant for the stock size?
