rcrunr1 Wrote:To all those who have raced the Losi 8 - besides the issue involving thottle servo breakage/overheating (use the KHZ or other brace), what other issues are there with the buggy?

Are those "issues that need to be worked out" inherent in the central-motor-placement design or are there aftermarket products available that solve/mitigate these problems?

thx

the only problem I have with the losi is on power steering. the ackerman bushings wear too fast and put a lot of play in it. they have upgrades for this but its like 40 bucks and not sure if its worth it.

Mike- im not sure what you mean about the diffs, never had a problem with the actual gears in and around the diffs. the only problem i had with the diffs was the outdrive cup which went out after 10 gallons. the front/center driveshaft wears fast because of the ane its at. the losi 8iht really is a good buggy, but does have a few minor issues at least to me. Pmhours, if your gonig tobash and race i would get the 8ight or wait until the rc8 changes over to the TTR plastics, becasue right now theyre brittle.
