Update:
I Finally got my Losi 8ight-T on the track today. The track has been completely redone since the last time I was there, very technical with lots of quads, offcamber, elevations, etc. Very difficult track for a truggy. At first the truggy was a handful to control, very inconsistant, then I remembered Losi recommends a break in period. After two packs the truggy felt much better and I was able to put in some hot laps. I have a Smart diff in the center but under power it still seemed to send more power to the front, my front tires were ballooning and I even popped a few wheelies when I really nailed it and that is a major no-no for a truggy. I blew both front stock Losi tires off the rims and then I switched to some new AKA's, these wheels/tires were dialed for this track (blue groove). I was happy with the handling, it turned much better than I expected and pivoted perfectly. Jumping was good and controlling altitude was a piece of cake tapping the brakes or when I stabbed the throttle. But not all was roses, one of the rear shock ends pulled off (I heard that the factory sometimes over tigthens the ends and messes up the internal threads), I lost a screw and lock nut holding the front inside upper toelink pivot ball, I blew off two of the factory glues tires and the inside of the rims rubbed on the spindle. But on the other hand I took a couple of big hits when I was getting used to the new track and darted a few of my double double attempts over the quads and nothing broke (except for the shock end). The Motor performed well and was faster than all the other truggies/buggies on the track. Temps on the motor were great (118 max, with ambient temps in the 80's).
