SETUP GUIDE SETUP GUIDE
Rear Toe-in:
The 8IGHT 2.0 is equipped with 3 degrees of toe-in per side. Less rear toe-in will increase the wheel base of the buggy and decrease forward
traction, but will increase top speed and side traction in the middle of a turn. More toe-in will increase forward traction, have more off -power
steering and less side traction.
Wheel Base:
The 8IGHT 2.0 is equipped with a long wheelbase. A shorter wheelbase (spacers behind the rear hubs) increases on-power traction, rear weight
transfer, and has more off -power steering. A shorter wheelbase is better on tight or slick tracks. A longer wheelbase (spacers in front of the rear
hubs) decreases off -power steering, is more stable, better in bumps, and has more on-power steering.
Sway Bars:
The 8IGHT 2.0 is equipped with 2.3mm sway bars on the front and rear. A thinner front sway bar increases front off -power traction, but has less
on-power steering. A thicker front sway bar decreases front off -power traction making the steering smoother entering the turn, but has more on-
power steering. A thinner rear sway bar increases rear traction and decreases on-power steering. A thicker rear sway bar increases stability in the
middle of the turn and increases on-power steering. Thicker sway bars are more stable on high-speed, high-traction tracks.
Clutch:
On new clutch bells make sure to clean the inside of the clutch bell with scouring pad or fi ne sand paper to improve the break-in period. Softer
springs engage at a lower rpm and have a smoother power band. If the engine doesn’t have enough low-end power try running more preload
(spring with more angle) or a stiff er spring. Stiff er springs engage at a higher rpm and hit much harder. If the springs are too stiff it will cause the
clutch to slip.
Plastic vs. Aluminum Clutch Shoes:
We have found the two plastic and two aluminum clutch setup to work best on most tracks, but if the track is very loose, rough, and doesn’t have
jumps that are diffi
cult to get over, four plastic shoes will allow more slip and smoother acceleration. Running all four aluminum clutch shoes will
have the most punch, but isn’t as good on slick, rough tracks. Our recommended clutch setup is two aluminum shoes with gold springs and two
plastic shoes with green springs. Whenever you need to rebuild your clutch we recommend the following tips. First of all, be sure to clean all parts
with Losi Nitrotec
™
Spray Cleaner (LOSA99217) to ensure there is no oil or debris on any of the parts. Cleaning will include all clutch parts including
the clutch bearings. We like to spray out the clutch bearings to ensure that there is no grease slung from the bearing at high rpm which would
cause premature clutch wear or slippage. When reinstalling the clutch pins we recommend NOT using any type of Losi-Lok on the clutch pins. By
using Losi-Lok on this part, it only makes it diffi
cult to remove the pins. Once the new shoes are installed, pull back each clutch shoe 1mm to make
sure they spring back to position to ensure proper movement. You will also want to make sure the clutch bell has anywhere from .25mm to .50mm
of movement and spins freely on the crank shaft. You can use Losi’s Metric Shim Set, LOSA6356 to dial this in properly. Now that your clutch is fully
rebuilt it is time to break it in. This is done by starting your buggy and having it idle on the ground. While fi rmly holding the vehicle down, apply ½
throttle for three seconds. Repeat this three times to fully seat in your new clutch.
Here is a layout of clutch setups ranging from softest to hardest in acceleration

Used on very l oose tra c ks where l itt l e pun c h is needed
Used on l oose high-speed tra c ks where there are no jumps out of turns
Very smooth, yet has good pun c h. Motor must have adequate power to pu ll this cl ut c h setup
Very forgiving and redu c es whee l spin with pun c h being sa c rifi c ed s l ight l y.
Can be used with motors that have great bottom end
Good a ll around setup. Best c ompromise for pun c h and mi l eage
In c reased pun c h with s l ight l y l ess mi l eage
In c reased pun c h, good for jumps right out of turn, with average mi l eage.
Very aggressive with great pun c h, engine wi ll run hotter and shoe l ife wi ll diminish
Most aggressive, maximum pun c h. Use with motor that has very l ow bottom end

Differentials:
The 8IGHT 2.0 comes equipped with 5000 wt in the front and center diff , and 2000 wt in the rear diff . Thinner front diff erential oil increases off -
power steering, but if the oil is too thin the steering will become grabby and inconsistent. Thicker front diff erential oil increases off -power stability
and increases on-power steering. Thinner center diff erential has less forward drive, can unload more under acceleration and is easier to drive on
rough and slick tracks. Thicker center diff erential has more acceleration, increases on-power steering, and less off -power steering. Thicker center
diff erential is better on high bite/smooth tracks. Thinner rear diff erential has more corning traction and increases steering in the middle of the turn.
Thicker rear diff erential has less steering in the middle of the turn and more forward traction.
