  • Page 29 STEP G STEP G-03 Completed Chassis Assembly STEP G-04 Painting the Body 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.
  • Page 30 BEFORE RUNNING YOUR NEW 8IGHT-E 2.0 OFF-ROAD RACING BUGGY for the first time, you should run down the following checklist in order and complete the listed tasks. We’re sure you’re anxious to get out and run your new 8IGHT-E 2.0 now that it’s built, but please note that fine-tuning of the initial setup is an essential part of building a high-performance racing buggy such as your new 8IGHT-E 2.0.
  • Page 31 The 8IGHT-E 2.0 now has only three camber locations on the rear tower, however, we have added another inside hole on the rear hub. The stock camber link setup for the 8IGHT-E 2.0 is location #2 on the tower and B in the hub. By using a longer rear camber link you will have less roll and improve stability and traction.
  • Page 32 Outdrives and Traction: When your 8IGHT-E 2.0 is new it will have a lot of chassis roll and be a little loose on throttle due to lack of friction in the outdrives and crossbones. After about 45-60 minutes of running, the 8IGHT-E 2.0 will gain traction and stability. Once your 8IGHT-E 2.0 is broken in, replacing the outdrives and crossbones with new parts will have more corner speed.
