I run the Proline RC8T Bulldog Body, fits perfectly and gives great steering.

thank you

Juzza,

Yes ran thicker oils to get the car to drive more out of corners.
This helped and it brought the lap-times down noticably.

Also helped the car square up for the jump section, i mainly introduced it though to help on-power steering.

Took a few laps to adjust to it but i liked it more, and will stick with it i think.

Thanks bud, i will try thicker diff oils this sunday once the track grooves back up a little.

Hi Jarred, when u say it tok a few laps to adjust to it, by this you meant ? how did the car handle in relation to thinner oils ? im guessing less steering off power ?

"Took a few laps to adjust"

Meaning changing oils that rapidly from 5-7-2 to 10-15-2 is a huge adjustment and made the car behave very differently and I could not keep driving it so aggressive like i had with the thinner oils.

It made the car much more "direct" and ment i had to drive it alot smoother but at the end made the car so much more faster and consistant. Offering me huge amounts of on-power steering and yes it did loose a little off-power steering but i found the car had huge amounts of off-power steering anyway. So it was a win/win setup.

The track i thought had more corners where throttle was applied rather than off power corners.

Hope this helps.

We had our Western Australia challenge cup 1st leg (of 3)And had a good run in the Truggy, Buggy we blew two diffs which put us out of the finals.This leg was held at Radio Rally club 87 drivers turned up.

Hey ari, how much different do you think you would setup your car for liverpool, im racing there this coming sunday and wouldnt mind trying your complete setup..

One thing i know is that my car will be shorter for this coming sunday,lol.

Juzz, i would bump up the front shock oil too 550 or 600 and probably up the rear bar to 2.8 if it was grippy.

I tried the Alloy rear brace for the first time and loved it, makes the car much more predictable through the turns.

I wasnt running the car super short, only 1mm shorter than std.

Ari,

Is there any update on an 808E?

If not, does anyone know of a conversion kit anywhere?
