I believe black are more firm than silver and green are quicker to engage than gold so softest to hard:black,silver,gold then green . . . someone correct me if I'm wrong . . .

Today I was taking a closer look to the 8ight-t tank, and then I saw a little screw on a plastic part inside the tank, does anyone know what is that?

its basically a peice of plastic that can be removed if not concerned about exact CC's in the tank.

I would guess so, I assume that you put it in to make the tank exactly 150cc, so taking it out prob makes another 10-30 cc?

very rarely.....honestly i have only bent 1 or 2 real bad since ive driven losi....the truggy both times...the buggy has been flawless...and im pretty sure it was an Older generation buggy...as i bought it used...and he had it for at LEAST a couple good months before i got my hands on it...so imo losi has already adressed the rear outter pin issue.

well u got 2 or 3 options......first...stocker's again...and try not to drive it soo hard....j/k.....next would be the Mugen Rear outter's...but imo those were too loose on the knuckle itself and u could feel alot of slop between the knuckle and the shaft.....so lastly is the M2C outter pin kit....Alot of guys run that with good suscess...so that would be my route if i started bending up the rear's...and its resonably priced aswell.

Hey guys..
Is it really true, that the cheapest 17mm wheel hexes for the 8ight-t at amain costs 48$?
I am right, if i says the rtr has 20 mm hexes right? - Anyone know some hexes that is 23 or 17 mm at amain, that is cheaper than those 48$
Sorry for spellingfails (: - Thanks.

Bearings are present at all four ends as expected and super beefy 20mm wheel hexes in anodize blue close the deal.
Copy paste from here: http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/a...article_id=918

Is it just a fail then? Thanks (:

Edit: btw. thanks for the links
