yea, i seen it, i gave him the idea of the pipe, jp pipes are fuel hogs, you should see similar power with the 2035 but better fuel mileage, that pipe is great with tons of engines because it helps the pretty much the whole powerband

testee over here......ran a lower timed crank and it felt Awesome possum.....im tempted to keep one in the box for a quali motor....its got all the scoot of the big dog's and plus some.....Ran a JP-1 at first but felt it had too much bottom for the particular track and condition's so i ended up on a FLS 2053....run times were decent....around 1/2 tank after a 5min quali but i didn't want to push it in the main so i did 7:30-8min stops....temps were up and down through the day but for the most part 220-250 pending on how quick the pit man tempted it....Clutch set-up was M2C with Soft reg shoes on 1.0's.....some user's might want to go to 1.05 if they are a Realllly High bite track.....Overall Very impressed.

I like to buy a 8T. Where is the cheapest place that I can find one in the us? I have found one for 570 at the barn floor, minus 150 rebate would be 420. Is there any cheaper place to buy it?

The rebate isn't valid on rcmart right?

I'm going to convert it to electric and like to run dual lipos. Is there a way to move the center dif to the middle?


I hope you guys can answer my questions,
Joost

Had a pretty good time up at Barona today. Got the TQ/win in truggy and 2nd/2nd in buggy. The truggy is box stock with the exception of the servos, turbo head button, and a Losi RE11 pipe (not bad for a POS RTR...). I didnt touch a thing! Even ran the box tires. Truggy is so stable it's almost boring. Still have some more tuning to do on the Losi 454; it keeps getting richer and running cooler with every tank that goes through it (it had a very quick break in ).

The GRP ran good; thing has a lot of bottom end with the 2053 pipe. I'd like to get a bit more top end out of it; might have a bit left on the high side needle but it sure is running well. Getting just over 9 minutes out of it right now.

If I were you I would see if a local hobby shop will match their price. That way you have a local dealer who might support you if necessary.

RcMart is not cheaper if you live in the states they charge like 100 shipping.

Go with amain or one of those places, most LHS will not match those prices because they dont get a good price on them.

Electric - No comment.............

Hyperion makes a 850mAh Life pack that will fit with the low lid on. It should have plenty power for a 45min main.

You must have some high drain servos. I've gotten just over two and a half hours out of a 2000mAh Lipo.

Default losi 8t 2.0

Guys got a question just bought a new truggy and after getting everything on it and running it several times at our track I am having trouble with the nose wanting to dart down after jumping I have never drove a truggy, I have a losi 8 2.0 buggy and when I jump high with it I can bump the brakes just a tad to get my nose down and everything goes smooth but the truggy will want to nose dive and if I dont get on the trottle to raise the nose up when I lan it can throw my landing off making me a little squirrelly, not smooth like my buggy. Any suggestions ?
