How do the Bow-tie's preform on grass?

[Mentat]

dont really run anywhere but the track with my cars. what little i have seemed ok, badlands would prob be a better tire for that or bashing in general

i just bought a losi 8 1.0 and wondering if i can use the original chassis and if not what kit should i buy

Old thread, I think Mentat is no longer with us on the forum . His last activity is Oct 2009

Your question doesnt make sense?

Are you asking if you can use the Rc-Monster motor mount with the stock chassis?

-Yes

I have the buggy and the chassis looks different than that one which chassis is that?
Also do the holes line up or do I have to drill.

That is a 1.0 truggy Race roller chassis... and I figured you wanted questions answered about a truggy (truggy thread...)

But yes the Motor mount and battery tray will fit on both the Losi 8ight 1.0 buggy
2.0 Buggy
1.0 truggy
and 2.0 truggy

all the holes do line up... I helped design it and test it :)

If i were going to do the "conversion" i would just get the losi conversion kit, or the Tekno conversion,I have had both, and i like the losi a little better, but its yoru call, the Tekno comes with a nice chassis.

Ok after I thought about it I pulled the center dif out , and took it apart and flipped the bearings . Is that what I should do ? It seemed to work . With the monster mount I see it has a extra piece the spacer. I have a 48 t spur gear will spacer work for that . Lmk so I can order the mount that was why I was so confused but I think flipping the bearings Did it I hope. Thanks for you quick responces

The rc-monster kit is higher quality than the losi kit. I have had both.
The Rc-monster Kit has brass threaded inserts to prevent the holes stripping out like the all plastic losi tray does.

The Newer style rc-monster mount is a single screw adjustment like the losi but much easier to remove the motor.


And Im not a fan of the tekno setup....

You keep the bearings the same, Flange side towards the diff. Rotate the entire diff 180* so the spur gear is towards the back of the car. The spacer (tee-hee I designed it) fits under the Center diff assembly.
