Just got a Losi 8T 2.0. thing is sweet, i am so excited to run it. The guy i bought it from took extremely good care of it. 2 questions, where is the cheapest losi or jconcepts body i can buy and where can i get a pair of those rear arm shields for cheap? Thanks !!!

No one makes the rear guards for the 2.0 T yet...so you have to make your own....Parma sells 12x12 sheet's of lexan in 2 different thicknesses that works good for that...or if you have an old body or the cut out's you might be able to rig up some....as for the body...any online retailer will have them at varying prices...check around for yourself....A-main Carolina's Tilted....its your choice.

Bobby I run the losi quickchange mount and use an ofna truggy start and it works great. I see you are in alabama, where exactly I live just outside of birmingham
Where do you usually race

i dont do anything to the shoes when i first get them, should i? and is it both sides and front or what

Be careful with the JConcepts body..everyone i know whos got one in tampa so far has had them crack pretty easily. If you read there thread on here to its happening alot

you dont have to worry when they are brand new aside form "breaking in the clutch" on the very first run on the shoes....when they slag is when you file them.

my JC 2.0E body is cracking around the RIDICULOUSLY hard to cut out vents....Not impressed to say the least. Luckily this is a practice body and a i havent settled on a paint scheme.

Is their any particular areas which are weak just bought two new wraps form fastlane JC T 2.0 thinking I can lay down some Kyosho repair lexan in the areas that might have weak points.

Ive seen under the drivers side window..check the JConcepts thread on here and go back a few pages

break in a clutch. thats new to me, please explain. Guess i really dont know about a clutch lol

i dont run the T body..only the buggy and E buggy body...one buddy who is running the JC 2.0 T body has no sign of cracks yet....but its only been race's a handful of time's...so we'll see how that pans out....i personally like the losi body better.

BN shoes require a little forced abuse on them to "mate" them to the bell.....on a brand new set-up before you start reving the peanuts out of it......drop it on the ground...Hold it in place and rev it for a couple seconds....DONT let the tires move.....your basically looking to force slip the shoes to break them in....dont go overkill and do it over and over....once is enough and your set-up will thank you with a little longer life.....with composite's be careful...even a few seconds of 100% slip can damage them...so be quick about it on a comp/alum set-up...as glazing over the composite shoes is the last thing you want to happen.

so thats why i see people doing that thank you

The losi body is just plain tough, I used to run a jc body on another truck and it always cracked, they're lighter lexan and also lighter on the wallet.

had a jc pun. body crack the first race, got worse after that. jc seen i posted about it on here and sent me 2 brand new bodies. hopefully the new one wont crack
