Corbs10 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) Aarrgghh....... Did some work on my D8Te last night, finished a few final bits like the cams and brake linkage but run into a snag... ...bloody sensor wire for the Tekin is too short! I don't know what to do, I don't really want to run it without but are all sensor wires the same?

JayJ Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Was that calibration issues? What did you do to resolve it or did it just work after some trying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr2096 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Was that calibration issues? What did you do to resolve it or did it just work after some trying? Yeah calibration was an issue. Was a right pain at first. Tried messing with my trims but was no help. The way I got it calibrated was to walk away about 10 foot from my buggy & bam it calibrated! How or why id when I walked away from it I don't know. I was told that should not have mad a difference to it what so ever, but it worked for me!

JayJ Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) Does anybody with a D8T need any stock parts, mainly the Nitro parts but I have a brand new still sealed chassis too! I also have Turnbuckles, hexes, shock towers, wing mount, a wing, mug guards, centre CV driveshafts etc etc. If so PM me before I stick them on eBay. : Swyped from a distant star, the other side of the Galaxy on my Slim ICS powered GT-I9100 Edited July 6, 2012 by JayJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djr2096 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Just odered some HBS67820 D8T long shock ends from the USA. Couldn't find em over here. Had to get some to give my D8E some extra droop on the front end, cause if you use the Trophy/Lightning arms the shock mounting holes are futher away from the shock!

JayJ Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Finally got some decent wheels for the D8Te, unfortunately it's still not running due to my lack of soldering skills... Pro-Line 3.8 Truck Badlands on Maximizer beadlocks. Might try them without the Mugen extended hexes, with the 1/2" offset the wheels have plus the extended hexes the D8Te appears slightly to wide IMO. What do you say guys?

djr2096 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Might be a little too wide for me. Soldering is easy for the most! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
