Losi 8ight or truggys in general - 04.25.2008, 04:37 PM
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...

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.

There's two sides to every schwartz, he got the up side and I got the down side.

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?

The is the Team Losi Tuned Flex Technology (TFT) Chassis for the Team Losi 8ight competition buggy. This "TFT" chassis has been milled at exact points to give more flex to the chassis while not sacrificing chassis flex at the gear mesh. The Tuned Flex Technology offers greatly improved overall traction and stability on all track surfaces and has been vigorously tested worldwide by Losi drivers Adam Drake, Mike Truhe and Yannick Aigoin. The new 8IGHT TFT chassis has been used to win many races across the country and has been valued highly by the racing team to make the Team Losi Racing 8IGHT Buggy even easier to drive fast.
