It is seperate addition to manual...just 2-3 pages black and white copy that guides you through set up of Throttle/Brake linkage. It is the same as included with the 8ight T 1.0. Important part is to be sure you leave some room on Full throttle for chassis flex. link below

Nope....no need for the O rings under the radio tray anymore.

You were right! I checked them last night by unscrewing them and found 2 stripped out/melted on the shafts.

Thanks for the link. I have set it up just like this. It must be hitting the chassis because it is not binding.

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

The bottom of your servo is hitting the chassis??? How would that fry the servos? I thought the as long as the EPA was set properly and you follow the instructions in the link to ensure no binding and a little room for chassis flex, everything was OK???

Something to do with the impact the case takes against the chassis plus it's going to be more susceptible to sustaining vibrations.

I always used spacers when I ran Ace servo's although on Savox at the mo, and they are not so deep, so don't need a spacer.

Managed to pick some new gears and shafts today, but not racing agin till the 14th.

Front and rear shafts had taken more wear than the centre, which wasn't so obvious, but had wear none the less

Have a Losi 1.0 buggy and I've been tossing the idea around of getting a 8T 2.0 My biggest concern is there a need to go up to a .28 or would a .21 do fine in the truggy? The track I run at is 150x80 motocross style.

A good 21 is all you will ever need.

This is opening a can of worms since everyone has their own opinions

I currently have the following set up for motor/pipe: OS V spec .21 VZ-B and OS 2060 pipe

Also heard good things about Go Tech 5 ports but they have one hell of a pinch and can be frustrating to break in!

Servos: HiTec digitals have always been good for me....the new 7955TG is popular for steering and the 5925MG or 5945MG for throttle

what exactly is failing....the board ?


remove your dirt guards and see how close the servo sits to the chassis....if it's touching that's 100% the cause.

This is what I run and love it, but I use a hitec 7965 on b/t.
