What setup are you racing on your Losi Racing 8IGHT-T 3.0?

[elreto]

Grren springs and 32.5 oil in the back, silver springs and 37.5 oil in the front, 7000,5000,3000 diffoil from front to back. I put in dogbone outdrives in the rear. I got a custom made shocktower in the back for more adjustments.

Do you ever run any of the Lunsford?

Are you running the Losi Springs?

[elreto]

Yep. I don't even know if anything else would fit, aren't the losi ones the only tapered springs?

Do you ever use any of the competition racing products for shocks? www.team-crp.com/

[elreto]

no, my 3.0 handles really good with the loss shocks... I might try it if I have some extra money someday but it's not on the top of my list. I do use the competition heat engine warmer, that makes a big difference.

How does the 3.0 compare to the 2.0?

[elreto]

Easier to drive, turns and handles a lot better and is more stable over all.

[kyoshoracer]

Are most of the parts on the 3.0 similar to the 2.0? Or are they way different?

[elreto]

A lot of them are the similar or the same. Chassis, arms, wheelhubs are different, fueltank, differentials, diffcases, wingmount, hingepins, chassisbraces and things like that are the same. The main difference is the shocks, suspension geometry and the steering ackerman.

I have the 2.0, do you think I am better of buying the 3.0 or just buying 3.0 parts and put it on my 2.0?

[mrrc10]

I dont have A losi but I would recommend asking someone at your local track to let you test out their 3.0. and see how you like. If you see there is a huge difference in handling, it would switch over, or you can just pick up a used 3.0. Not sure if parts for the TLR 3.0 are interchangeable with the 2.0 or not.

Is that setup good for loose tracks?
