Johnny nitro Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Hi guys, First off all thanks to this thread I just bought my 2nd off-road rc and guess what it is... The Losi 810. I have a few questions though. Has anyone replaced the stock clutch? I've heard a few problems about this and are recommending the m2c one. Also, I can't seem to find anywhere to get any spares or hopups (10T as well) here in the UK. Any suggestions where? Lastly, anyone using a hump pack for the receiver? Thanks. Ive heard the m2c clutch is fine but its made and distributed by a small company in the states, see the problems there? I'm currently in the (slow) process of trying to get a losi 8ight clutch setup to work in the 810 so I can get replacement parts easily and get better wear than the cheap plastic stock clutch. All I need to know now to complete it is a spur, so if anyone can tell me the general sizes of the 8ight spur (screw hole centres, overall diameter, centre hole diameter etc etc) I would be really grateful and I'll be able to put my how too guide on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulds Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 That's great of you can do that mate. Keep us posted. I would have guessed you would have to change the entire gear system to match everything up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulds Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) Stripped the centre diff gear. Was breaking in the buggy on pavement on my 3 tank when I got it started it would not move and started reving. When it finally moved it made a really weird sound so had a look and found out the stripped gear. Anyone has an idea what caused this. Was not even up to half throttle just enough to make it move.

Johnny nitro Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Thanks for that. should have checked all the screws before I started. If/when I get a answer on the 8ight spur sizes I'll send u my stock 810 spur, just holding on to it till I know if a 8ight one will work.

niallrbroome Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 what condition was the clutch bell in? could it have been a tight mesh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulds Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Thanks for that Johnny The clutch bell did seem tight when I removed it. It should spin freely shouldn't it? But if that was the problem, why didn't it happen on the first time I ran the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niallrbroome Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 yeh it should be quite free, it probably wouldnt do it on the first run as it was still new, but after a run or so it would have weakened and then just given in and stripped. had it happen on my old tmaxx because the mesh was too tight, was ok for a few runs and then eventually stripped im not sure if you mesh a nitro the same way you do an electric, but maybe look for a few tips on how to mesh so that it doesnt do it again was it new?

Mulds Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Yeah it's brand new. I'm still learning as quite new to the hobby. I should have checked it really before I started. I have loosened it up and is moving freely. So just waiting for the part to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny nitro Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Finally managed to get 8ight clutch setup to work in my 810, took alot of trial and error due to no-ones willingness to help but I got there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny nitro Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Another unsuccessful bash with friends yesterday, apart from having to replace a plug everytime my car stops (6 in one session) one fella let his nine year old son play with his baja which resulted in said baja trying to mate with my Losi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niallrbroome Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Is that the wing completely been ripped off? i hate it when that happens as you cant really ask them to pay for repairs but on the other hand why should you have to pay for their mistake.... as for the blowing plugs, have you played with the carb settings at all? try putting them back to factory settings and see if it stops....

Johnny nitro Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Yes mate the wing was ripped off and the rear shock tower is bent quite badly...as for the plugs blowing I've tried everything ,tuning, different plugs/fuel, sealing the engine. I think it's too much compression cos the coil is messed up everytime but I don't know how to correct it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frobard10 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 That shock tower and wing isn't looking too happy! I got to change the axle carrier on the front right of my Losi after a slight incident with a certain other individual...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to change the axle carrier on the front right of my Losi after a slight incident with a certain other individual...... lol, if i had caused the crash then i would have happily given you some money towards fixing it, but because it was down to you not being able to drive i chose to just laugh get it fixed for the weekend so i can break it again lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frobard10 Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 I didn't say it was anyones fault think we both turned to avoid each other and just turned the same way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny nitro Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Was wondering how the other guys 810s are holding up....I finally sorted the plug problem buy using a R5 OS plug which has lasted quite well and the 8ight clutch/flywheel/spur transplant has worked flawlessly since I installed it months ago. Hope everyone else is enjoying it as much as me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
