Ok guys got an almost convert here....... coming from the mooo cars I bought a used 8-T 2.0 and 8-B 2.0 to try out for a few weeks......... the buggy is doing fine in all areas but I need some help with the truggy. 1st problem..... How to make a clutch live more than a couple quals? I put all new silver losi HD shoes, new silver springs and all new losi bearings(the brown rubber shielded ones) CB looks great no grooves and the flywheel pins are good. Put it all together 2x this last weekend, Will go about 2 quals b-4 it eats bearings and breaks a sping and locks up. Also the clutch seemed like it didnt have much snap to it, felt like the springs were to soft and bogging the motor, This is the same motor that ran great in my 6T with the mugen clutch set-up on it until I swapped it over to the losi this last week. I have heard you can run a mugen flywheel/CB setup by flipping the motor mounts around backwards is that true??????? 2nd problem....... The clicking diffs landing jumps? it has the aluminum inserts in the rear already...shim the piss out of them till tight/notchy and let them wear in?
As Scott mentioned get yourself a 10 pack of TKO F/R blue seal clutch bearings. A pair of bearings will easily last about a gallon.

well I cheesed out..... slapped the mugen flywheel/dynamite max lifes and 6 cb back on the motor, flipped the top plates of the KH extended mount around and whaalaaaa fits like it was made for it, even have more space between the crank screw and fuel tank now.
I'm gonna get a new rear bulkhead and re-do the diff tonite.......
The guys I have been racing with are in trouble if I get this thing de-bugged and reliable......

I really like this truck it drives so well it seems that the quicker that you push the better it goes and it really ups the confidence .
I'm just running the stock setup at the moment because I don't need anything more from it at the moment until my ability improves a bit
I have got one thing small thing. I lost the screw out of the end of the crank last weekend at somestage in the final race and the clucth bell came forward and ate a little bit of the tank. No leeks or anthing lucky and I got finished in 2nd.
On my 1.0 buggy I used shoe goo and built up a kinda wear pad on the back of the tank. I'm thinking of doing the same to this tank or glueing a bit of plastic or aluminium to the area for protection.
What I want to know what other people are doing to protect the back of the tank abit.
