Losi 2.0 body fitment problems - 08.02.2009, 10:38 AM

Guys I'm running a 6S setup with my 2.0 using a stock RTR 2.0 body and it won't clear. Does anyone make a body that is high clearence on the front and back for the battery and ESC???

u can acually drill another hole in the rear shock tower above the 2nd one and move it up another 1/8 or so, i did that to mine to give it a bit more battery room

I did the same thing and put a spacer under the front mount. Since then I've changed to a 8ight-E body and no longer need the spacers.

GET THE 8IGHT-E BODY!!!

It's designed specifically to be able to fit large batteries under it.

Btw, I don't even use body mounts and body clips. I have found velcro on the mudgaurds and front brace to be superior interms of durability, adjustablility and convenience.


Check out my custom converted 8ight:
Sub 7lb, lowest CG of any 1/8 buggy

I had both the Jconcept 8E 2.0 body and the Losi 8E 2.0 body ordered so I could compare which one has more room.

I think the Caster would have worked out, but you have matching 1/8 cars now.

I will let you know Thursday. We have a club meeting this week on race dates going into the Fall. I think the race for Saturday is still a go. I will be in Tunica, MS that day.

I am looking forward to putting these E-Buggies head to head. I have the only electric buggy in the club so far and a few others are thinking about it. We also have one truggy, but it never races. How many electrics do you guys have in Cullman now?
