    Convert 8IGHT-T 2.0 to brushless...

    Hi guys!!!!! I'm back, apologies for the hiatus I was away. I have the battery, motor and the Tekno chassis just arrived. After all of the questions with the battery charger I remembered I had this originally and it did cost a bit so I am hoping it will be ok to use? But of course would...

    Convert 8IGHT-T 2.0 to brushless...

    Sorry guys another question... I have heard the below are good batteries, I am not sure about the 25C or 40C, what is the difference? Also as far as 5000mAh goes should I be going for something higher? http://losi.com/Electronics/Batteries_Chargers.aspx#oneEighth1

    Convert 8IGHT-T 2.0 to brushless...

    Thanks! I was looking at this and thinking it might be the way to go, as the Losi kit is $80 and this is $129 with setup all complete and apparently more evenly spaced out, if you could let me know your thoughts that would be great...

    Convert 8IGHT-T 2.0 to brushless...

    Thanks so much! I have started to watch your videos, very interesting :-) I'm slowly getting my head around this now, I do want to try and take the car to the track more so wondering if it's worth putting in the 1900kv on 4s? What do you think? Also if you have some time can you explain the...

    Convert 8IGHT-T 2.0 to brushless...

    I want craaaaaaazy speed! Guys this is great :-) Guys this is so helpful thanks, can you clarify what the '6S' element of the motors is? Is it power? The motor that will give me crazy speed, will it be good on the track and off? Is this what you were suggesting...

    Convert 8IGHT-T 2.0 to brushless...

    Hi guys, I have had my Nitro for about 2 years and love it, but the bottom line is in my area with the noise it's just too loud, so I have been thinking about converting it and wanted some opinions... I assume I buy this? http://www.losi.com/Products/Features.aspx?ProdId=LOSA0912 Do I...

    Car lost connection with remote and went crazy...

    Hi guys it's this, 'Spektrum DX3S 2.4GHz DSM' so I'm assuming it has a fail-safe... does it mean it's not setup correctly? The car I am running is a Losi 8IGHT T 2.0 RTR...

    Car lost connection with remote and went crazy...

    Hi guys... I was running my car today and it lost connection with the remote and went absolutely crazy, speed out of control and crashed into a bush –*any ideas what could have caused this? I charged the receiver batteries on the car and the remote has full charge... Also is there anything...

    8IGHT-T 2.0 Started and engine heated up to 330°F!

    Unreal MotoGod, very very helpful... when you say you spray the entire rig so everything is covered in Wd-40 minus discs breaks? Does it not stay greasy? By rig we're talking chassis, shock towers & shocks? There is a bit of fluid coming out of the exhaust but this has changed alot since I...

    8IGHT-T 2.0 Started and engine heated up to 330°F!

    Hi all... ok well I fixed the car, was pretty proud of myself, not so proud of how many pieces were bent out of shape. Was a harder hit than I thought. Anyway I ran the car today properly for the first time and after all the advice I adjusted the toe angle on the right wheel and the car even...

    8IGHT-T 2.0 Started and engine heated up to 330°F!

    Haha yep I figured curbs are always going to win :-) It was me getting used to the remote control actually and then having a mental block about argh breaking ;-) Yep great info from MotoGod... and you are correct, looking down over the top of the car the right wheel was always pointing out on...

    20% or 30% nitro fuel for 8IGHT-T 2.0 RTR?

    Hi all... I was told to break my engine in using 20% fuel which I am in the process of... but the local hobby store said it's fine to keep running on 20% now. In the back of my manual (8IGHT-T 2.0 RTR) the setup sheet says 30%. This car is tuned by Losi so should I go with what they say and move...

    8IGHT-T 2.0 Started and engine heated up to 330°F!

    Rolex! I ran the car as you said, things went very very well... BUT I was having major issues with the car not running straight, it was veering off to the left, do I fix this via the remote? Anyway that is not the main reason for posting... I crashed the car into a curb, was playing with...

    8IGHT-T 2.0 Started and engine heated up to 330°F!

    I didn't post that to offend you it was more of a statement that LOSI is giving out incorrect information which is quite concerning... and the reason I ask many questions is because I'm interested... you must agree that saying 'Yes, that's correct' to every body offering opinions would be a...

    8IGHT-T 2.0 Started and engine heated up to 330°F!

    Hi Rolex... I just spoke to Losi and they said under no cirumstances should I run in the three tanks with the engine hot, they said the richer the fuel and the cooler the engine the better, so a little confused :(

    8IGHT-T 2.0 Started and engine heated up to 330°F!

    Ok I'll give that a go. When I've done my three tanks and am ready to run it back and forth, should I keep the LSN exactly where it will be set at the final break in?

    8IGHT-T 2.0 Started and engine heated up to 330°F!

    Hi Rolex... Ok, I think I am making some good progress... I did another 15 minute idle and can notice the following: I turned the LSN in a 1/4 turn and straight away the car started to speed up like a maniac which is not we want correct? I moved the LSN out just under a 1/4 turn and it...
