My Brushless 8ight Project

[DRIFT_BUGGY]

I forgot to mention that I cut out alittle bit on the body to get some air flow to the motor. The motor doesn't seem to get much air flow to it from where it is. There was also a new sticker put on the back of the body. It might of also helped with the cooling.





I also required longer screws for the skid plate to go on properly. The standard screws are 8-32 x 1/2" Flat Head and that is the longest that Losi make. Associated make some 8-32 x 7/16" Flat Head screws which retail for $6 for a pack of 6 in Australia. That works out to be $1 each. I went down to my local fastener shop and ordered 50 x 8-32 x 3/4" flat head phillips stainless steel screws. 50 of them cost me $11. Minimum eftpos was $10 so I ended up ordering 50 of them. Doesn't hurt to have some spare.

Nice conversion
Like the little cut out in the body for cooling , it's as if the body was designed like that for motor cooling .
Have you noticed much difference now with the body cut .

How has the 8ight been holding up , overall .

Have read of people complaining that it is a fragile buggy, they musn't know how to drive. This buggy is great, this buggy has had as much abuse as my REVO and still no breakages

Iv'e never been brand loyal , some buggies are a little more fragile than others but on a whole most breakages happen from bad driving.

Good to hear it's holding up great
