I wish I had a video of my nice lawn dart that broke the Neu ! That would have been a youtubes finest moron pick. Guess it will be a couple weeks till she rides again. It doesnt look that nice anymore, though I do clean it about every 3-4 bashes like an anal tard heh.. Ive been stopping around 15 minutes, before the lvc ever cuts off. I dont totally trust them lol Im usually at 7.2v. Im still learning to trust and love the Neu lipos. I havent given it a 15 minute WOT race yet pushing it to its limits, just the general neighborhood, park and construction site bashes.

Be well, enjoy Calis summer !

Thanks for the compliment, followed the lead of the bright ones here and got my questions answered and put it together... I ditched the brakes for a couple things. Ill make points incase someone wants to check issues or solve them or laugh that I couldnt.


1. the center diff is turned around in the 8T conversion so the pinion can reach the spur, so the top brace is turned too, which moves the front and rear brake cams which are different lengths and placements and would then push to stop instead of pull (or vice versa I dont remember) and they dont line up anyway. I drilled out a hole in the front center brace next to where the cam was originally and shortened the rear cam to fit in the front new hole. I dont entirely remember but it goes together after that and some shims somewhere in there lol I dunno if one of those extra long pinions would have just fit with everything in its normal place.

2. you would have to drill alot of holes to mount up the servos and the brake servo would be partially supported on the mudguard which was lame.

After messing with all that and nearly drilling, I didnt want to mess up the 8T because it looked so clean and was together so nice with the parts everyone recommended..The mystery and romance of doing it was gone because Tekno has their version out now with a wider chassis and all the stuff to do it right. (and im lazy) So I just put it back and figured id buy that and try it out eventually. If i dont like it one of you can buy it from me for less and see if you do lol..

Sorry to ramble and be vague but maybe someone will know what I mean when they are staring at the brake parts, servos and 8T lol
Thanks,
Jay

I had a crazy noise when braking...
It turned out to be air in my ballooning road rage tire escaping out through small air hole in the rims.
I was a scary hiss after a high speed and stop.
bigger air holes solved it

M.M. @ 6S ..NEU1512.. Losi 8T

That is one sick 8T!

Any more pics of it?

Ya I was inspired by these guys 8t's as well.. I went the tekno v3 route though also a nice way and I still have the mechanical brakes (love um!). I have a cheap ESC in there as a hold over until I get one of my two v3 MMM's when they start shipping.. 1 of 4 v2 mmm's actually held up and is still working but it's in my e-revo.

Question on J Rulix half ups
 

Quick question- Anybody have any idea if J rulux 1/2 offset wheels will mount on 40 series road rage tires? I mostly do on road with my 8T brushless conversion and want some sweet wheels and tires. I currently have 40 series road rage with wabash wheels.

No they wont, the rulux are narrower and smaller diameter then 40 series wheels

had to look up this truggy for my neighbor who bought it. Almost 4 years ago man time flys ! That kid took it all apart and cleaned it so well I want it back. Guess theres some metal bushing in the rear diff they don't make anymore that was messed up, but ebay has everything so he got it all together. I'll miss you Mr 8T lol

who makes that all aluminum center diff, I'd like to get one, and the front spindles, etc?, thanks......
