losi 8ight will not trun
OK my friend has a losi 8ight rtr he bought it race with me on our practice track he has switched the servos with Jr. 650m's both of them and replaced the 427 engine with an os v-spec .21 heres the problem he has to be 100% off the gas to make it turn going in the turns where as on my kyosho i can just lift on the gas and then back on at 40% to 60% depending the turn any help will be very useful i will print it out and help he make the changes. i mean it's a losi trying to keep up with a kyosho LOL..

Another vote for the diff oil, i know its not a Buggy, but i changed the diff oil in my ST-1 (had blob of grease) to 3-10-2 and it went from turning ****e, to being able to do figures of 8 with the throttle applied.
To me, it made a night and day difference!

Have him check the droop screws as well(if the car wants to roll over), the CG may be too high, he may need to turn them in a bit to lower the buggy.

RE: losi 8ight will not trun
You have what you need to turn the RTR into a faster buggy. Kyosho is a good buggy, but I found I am much faster with my 8ight than I am with my Kyosho. Kyosho times are about the same on long open tracks, but in the tight sloppy tracts I average almost 2 seconds faster with the 8ight. I guess it must be my driving style that just works better with the 8ight.
