dont height, .... 8ight! - Ponch - 12-26-2006
Yep that's the secret, don't let it get out..haha.
I ran it about 2 tanks on the track and the diffs loosened right up, motoxer.
dont height, .... 8ight! - motoxer4life - 12-27-2006
o ok thanks. how bout the turning did that loosen up a bit too? mines kinda tight.
dont height, .... 8ight! - Ponch - 12-27-2006
Yeah..Turning makes them loosen up...That's what a diff does.

dont height, .... 8ight! - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 12-27-2006
ya thats what he meant
dont height, .... 8ight! - motoxer4life - 12-27-2006
hes talking about turning to loosen up the diffs im talking about steering.
dont height, .... 8ight! - FreeRideFrosty - 12-27-2006
I would think there shouldn't be any binding out of the box on that......
dont height, .... 8ight! - Ponch - 12-27-2006
Steering there is a little bind too. I haven't checked if it's gone but I'd bet it is. Sorry for the confusion, I know what you're talking about now.

"*** King Headz Servo Stiffener the Losi 8ight Buggys. ***
ALL pre-orders were shipped today.
We still have about 30 left from the first batch and more will be back from
anodize by the end of next week.
We feel that this stiffener should reduce some of the flex across the throttle servo area.

There's no need for this part if you know how to prevent coil bind when setting up your throttle/brake linkage.
dont height, .... 8ight! - FreeRideFrosty - 12-29-2006
Could it not help with chassis flex through the middle of the chassis by stiffening the whole "top plate"?? I am not sure.... just speculating.

yes it is.
dont height, .... 8ight! - slim - 12-29-2006
and chad drove it when the shocks were getting to tight... tried a trick to help any leaking... and its binding a lil... thats prolly why it was darty.
dont height, .... 8ight! - UE-Maxx - 12-29-2006
Slim, what it is your setup for the front shocks?
dont height, .... 8ight! - Ponch - 12-29-2006
From Slim;
hot set up for LH
front
54 pistons, 40 losi oil
silver springs by time for mains... green if close to traction rolling.
middle hole on tower for shock mount
stock black sway
stock camber link
bones below level
full droop, just less than shock topping out.
diff 4k mugen oil
1.5 toe out.
any thing else is by the book.
center
5k mugen oil
rear
55 pistons 32.5 losi
silver for mid day and mains... green when track was still damp.
top of shock all the way in on tower... ( transfers better, felt slow but lap times dropped doing this.)
middle size rear sway
outter hub in the inner hole.
stock location for camber link ( on tower )
droop is about 4mm from full or 1/2 the distance from arms level to max droop... ( if you lift car straight up they stop the same time as the fronts )
diff was 2k mugen
stock plate of 2-3
camber was 2 all 4 coners
bones were below level.

Ok thanks. I am running the same shock setup right now up front, but I have mine all the in and was going to move them to the middle hole.
