Losi 8ight or truggys in general
 

Do they make skid plates that cover the bottom of the truggys/buggys it seems like they take a real beating at the track and eventually strip screw heads...

i have seen those.. they don't look very big.. do they help out a lot?

It does help your chassis last longer, but causes more drag. I like them. I'm not all that good at driving anyways, so it really doesn't affect me too much. :smile:

There is a chap on ebay that does aliuminium ones for 16.5 shipped from canada - they are pretty nice...

i just got one of these ones they are sweet they are so nice

do you have the sellers name?

They don't look to bad, is it best to use longer screws for them?

Ok, just read on there that you can run 3mm longer screws if you like. Im think the standard screws are 5-40 x 1/2" so what does that make it in 3mm longer? Don't deal with imperial sizes much.
Also, what are some screw sizes that you should keep on hand for the 8ight?

i just put the kit on and i did not have to use longer ones i used the ones that were in it just thought i would let you know thanks

Is that the ones off ebay?

yes i bought thoese ones

Just bought a set, ill give them a shot, anyone here using the new chassis from Losi?
