i understand, im just saying its not because the roll center is raised..

I Hear ya Mike.....would you mind breaking it down as to why it was done like that ?

Why the roll center was raised? Probably out of ease of production.
in back to back testing with the stock pivot vs the adjustable pivot, the rear end is softer with the stock pivots, it causes the front end to feel like it is "working" more..

edit* i like the adjustables better

Correct settings for the adj. braces to achieve 3/3 are 1's up in the front plate and 0's in the rear plate. Check out the setup sheet below. Every setup I have seen of Drake's note that 3/3 is as stated above.

I went with 0 middle in the rear and 1 up in the front. I'm going to start there and might go with more toe later on depending on how it feels on the track.

Thanks guys

geting back in the swing of things i see

I prefer the stock hinge pin braces on my buggy but haven't done back to back testing on my truggy yet.

As for the mud guards? I ordered myself a slew of goodies this morning from DE for the buggy and truggy. I'll bust out the big fan and some smoke after I get them on for the official wind resistance testing.

Thanks for the link to DE. I just loaded up on all their goodies for the 8T2. More break in for me this weekend. She is one tight lady (no complaints here).

Yeah I'm taking a break from mustangs and dragracing for a little while. Getting back into r/c's for a bit..........

We are getting the word out that DE Racing has just released rear Mud Guards for the Team Losi 8ight-T 2.0 truggy. These compliment the already released rear mud guards for the Team Losi 8ight series buggies. More information and pictures are available on our website at www.deracing.net.

Here is a couple of pics

Is the a hole in the box for the battery to fit? I wonder if taking the ribs off the bottom would allow it to sit low enough?

You can't really take the ribs off the bottom, because of the screw lug incorporated into them. The old 8ight 1.0 tray didn't have the ribs. It only had the screw lug, and it didn't provide any more room than the 2.0 box does with the ribs.

What we really need is a taller/bigger battery lid. I see no reason for the tiny size of the losi lids. I'm sure they could have made them much larger. I'm actually surprised there aren't any aftermarket lids sold that are larger. I'm sure if someone made one, it would sell like crazy.

The losi lipo and standard nimh hump packs fit fine with the included lids, but that is about all that will fit. Even the losi lipo is a very tight fit. You can find low mah lipos that fit too, but most want at least 1500 mah in a pack.

OK done with my little rant. IMO the problem is not the box, but the lid.

yea they doo need better box covers... i think if you dremel the inside of the cover to a thin point, where its not going through but ist flexible, if you heat it hot enough and sit it on the battery to mold it it will be fine, but i didnt have the time to do that yesterday...

i like it tho...runing it unregulated is nice only 6.6v
