8ight T 2.0e Build

[robknasel]

Hello,
Wanted to give you some insight to what the servo problem is. The servo saver spring that it included with the 8ight 2.0 is too large. The coils of the spring are almost touching each other already and this does not allow the spring to compress well. The fix is to simply buy the fiorini spring that A Main carrys. This is a upgrade part and you may need to look for it in the 1.0 section. It will work on the the 2.0. Smaller spring gauge and the coils are further apart, allowing the spring to actually work.

Thanks for your post. I know that lots of guys on other forums have had success with just a spring change but for me, I swapped out the spring very early and still was blowing servo gears like crazy. I'm 100% sure that my 2.0 plastics were molded wrong. I've got the 1.0 plastics (and spring) now and it seems to be working so I'm staying with this setup. My advice to everyone would be to make sure your assembly can actuate when you take it out to install the other spring. If it binds or is impossible to actuate, get new plastics to go along with the spring and it will all work our fine.
