Here is a TL 8T body I thought you guys might dig, since it is different. It was a fun project, so thanks Andy!

haha, it's actually based of some surfer attire I was sent a pic of. Nice break from blue with flames, even though I like them too, !

i think this is for really loose slick conditions to try and get the front to bite on turning, try a 2.5 sway bar in rear and def. shorten whellbase.

I got my new 8ight-T 2.0 up and running today with the running gear out of my 8ight-B 2.0. I will be breaking it in at the track tomorrow.

JP3 is what Neal of Clockwork recommended for his modified JL .21.

Yea, Neal is a good guy. I have a JP-3 on my buggy and a JP-4 on my truggy. Both JL's, I think the JP-3 is stronger than the JP-4 on these engines.

Yeah I am testing tomorrow to see if I want a Clocked JL .21 on the truggy too. Neal is trying to convince me to go with a Picco, but I am leaning towards the JL since it is always easier to own two of the same engines. And I am not sure I really need the extra low end grunt that the Picco promises.

How do you like the Clocked JL .21 on your truggy?

Was there a video of him testing this posted recently. I think I saw something like that.

Neal said they are testing a new truggy-specific setup JL this weekend at the track. So we will see if he prefers this over the way he is already modifying them. He must be porting differently or something.
