from ur track.... other tracks 8ght t are def dominating, mugen is there too, but ppl stil say 8ght over mucgen.....idk id do losi anyways just because i like losi, and idk that im going to do much racing soon off road

hee hee... many "1/8 scale" guys don't like the Losi becasue you need some skills to drive it, instead of just slam it around the track.

Anyone who has a background in 1/10 cars loves the losis cause they actually have steering. Loads of steering = twitchy and too hard to drive to some, lol.

Really though.... many top brand trucks are very fast. It's the driver still 95%...

Mugen... Jammin.... and several t=others are all capable.

That's why you can look at the top 25 qualifiers at a big event and see 10+ different brand of cars.

At the recent bigtime race (1/8 buggy) there was 13 different cars in the top 25

Hmm, if people don't like it because it has so much steering, I would like it I guess, since I started with a 1/10th scle buggy. I'm thinking of getting a Hyper ST for nitro racing though, so I dunno.

The 8ights are kinda like 1/10 buggy...(especially the B4) So, compared to most 1/8 stuff theyare a little happy in the rear. But as they say "loose is fast"....

The trick is to get the rear to calm down a little and don't overdrive it. Some just don't like that style though and I can understand.... it's more "on edge".

if you use the 3/3 rear plate it hooks up better.

I actually like the stock 3-2 on the indoor track here.. but a lot of guys like the 3-3

I'll be trying it on the outdoor track soon...

look at this one:http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/12653

gd, did you get my pm?

Back on topic please.

any new pics?

I am thinking about switching up from running 2 3s1P packs, and combining them to 6s1p. I am thinking about running 2 5s1p packs, and running them 5s2p. This would allow me to use the quark and also get some more run time which I am looking for, because run time was my original reason to switching to Nitro a while back. I also plan on running a high KV motor to make up for the voltage drop.

!!!!!!!Updates coming soon!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well... where are they? lol I want to see!!:018:

I would have updates right now, but I am not at home. When I am at home, I have dual monitors running off my laptop for all the design work I do, and when I try to open it just on my laptop's monitor it isant there becaue it is dragged off the screen usually on the other monitors, so I will get some tonight.

we want pictures now

Well here is the small update that I was talking about. The project is taking baby steps at the moment due to me now having a 1:1 to work on. R/C's arent seeing alot of money these days.

Here is the final chassis design that I came up with. It only needs 2 more screw holes for the servo.




I officially need a new computer. My laptop I think is taking a crap, and all the design programs I have on here, is probably not helping the fact. Im in snail mode 80% of the time now.
