  • Page 37 Checklist 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.
  • Page 38 The 8IGHT-T 2.0 now has only two 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-T 2.0 is location #1 on the tower and B in the hub. By using the #2 hole on the tower you will have less roll and improve stability and traction.
  • Page 39 Differentials: The 8IGHT-T 2.0 comes equipped with 7000 wt in the front, 10,000 wt center, 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.
  • Page 40 More negative camber in the rear has less rear traction, but increases on-power steering and is less grabby in bumps. Less negative camber in the rear has more rear traction and makes the rear of the buggy stay fl atter, but if traction is lost it will be more violent. To ensure your 8IGHT-T 2.0 has the correct camber, we recommend using our Losi Camber Gauge (LOSA99172).
