BEFORE RUNNING YOUR NEW 8IGHT-T 2.0 OFF-ROAD RACING TRUGGY for the fi rst time, you should run down the following checklist in order and
complete the listed tasks. Fine-tuning of the initial setup is an essential part of building a high-performance racing truggy such as the 8IGHT-T 2.0 .
1. Breaking in the differential:
While holding the chassis with only the left side tires fi rmly on the
ground, give the car about one eighth throttle, for 30 seconds. The
right side tires should spin freely during this time. Repeat this with
only the right side tires held fi rmly to the ground, allowing the left
tires to spin. Repeat these steps at least two more times.
2. Check for free suspension movement:
All suspension arms and steering components should move freely.
Any binds will cause the car to handle poorly.
3. Set the ride height:
Set the ride height on your truggy using the LOSA99173 Ride Height
Gauge so that the bottom of the chassis is 39mm from the ground in
front and 42mm in the rear by adjusting the shock adjustment nuts,
eff ectively increasing or decreasing pre-load on the springs. See the
Setup Guide for additional information on ride height adjustment.
4. Set the camber:
Adjusting the camber tie rod length changes the amount of camber.
Use the Losi wrench and LOSA99172 Camber Gauge to adjust the
tie rods once installed. Rotating the tie rods towards the front end
of the vehicle will shorten the length, increasing negative camber.
Rotating the tie rods towards the back of the vehicle will lengthen
them, increasing negative camber. Set the front tires to have 1 de-
gree of negative camber and ensure that they are adjusted equally,
left to right. Set the rear tires to have 2 degrees of negative camber
and ensure that they are adjusted equally, left to right.
5. Set the front toe-in:
Adjust the front steering tie rods so that when the servo is centered
on the transmitter, the front tires are both pointing slightly out with
2 degrees of toe-out. Refer to the Setup Guide for more information
on toe-in/out.
6. Charge a receiver battery pack:
Charge a battery pack as per the battery manufacturer’s and/or
charger manufacturer’s instructions so that radio adjustments can
be made.
7. Set the transmitter steering trim:
Adjust the steering trim tab on the transmitter so the vehicle rolls
straight when you are not touching the steering wheel/stick. If the
servo and steering link were installed correctly, the wheels should
turn equally to the left and right. If not, refer to Table 2 to ensure
proper installation. Also check the steering link length as noted in
Step A-01. Make sure the throttle trim is set so the brakes do not
drag in the neutral position.
8. Set the transmitter throttle and brake trim:
Adjust the throttle trim tab on the transmitter so the brakes do
not drag in neutral position. Set the idle adjustment screw on the
carburetor at approximately 1mm open. When the throttle trigger is
pulled back to the maximum, the carburetor is fully opened.
Painting:
Prepare the Lexan Body for painting by washing it thoroughly (inside and out) with warm water and liquid detergent. Dry the body with a clean,
soft cloth. Use the supplied window masks to cover the windows from the inside. A high-quality masking tape should be used on the inside of the
body to mask off any stripes, panels, or designs that you wish to paint on the body. Use acrylic lacquer or other paints recommended for Lexan
(polycarbonate). (NOTE: LEXAN RC CAR BODIES ARE MEANT TO BE PAINTED FROM THE INSIDE!) Apply paint to the inside of the Body. Remove the
masking tape for the next color and continue. Try to use darker colors fi rst. If you use a dark color after a light color, apply a coat of white paint over
the lighter color before applying the darker color, or if you are painting over white, coat it with silver. This will help prevent the darker color from
bleeding through the lighter color.
Mounting:
The body is already cut out for mounting. However, you will need to cut out the area for the pipe stinger. This should be done before you paint your
body so you can easily see where it exactly needs trimmed.
Stickers:
After the body is mounted, REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE FILM ON THE OUTER SURFACE, now you can apply the stickers.
