wwit Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Big Brown truck dropped off my new D8T and some parts today. Now if A-Main didn't ship everything via donkey, Id be up to my elbows in a new Truggy build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctech132 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I've finally got my own D8T now guys it's got a Tekno V4 conversion and right now in pieces after a strip down and clean. Now rebuilding it replacing bearings and as there are quite a lot of mismatched screws I'll be ordering quite a few spare screws. I can't find a screw set for the d8t anywhere? Otherwise everything on it is extremely solid and I don't see myself breaking anything anytime soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colicab Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 YAY! New members to the D8T page. Welcome lads. As you can guess Im a die hard D8T lover. I've finally got my own D8T now guys it's got a Tekno V4 conversion and right now in pieces after a strip down and clean. Now rebuilding it replacing bearings and as there are quite a lot of mismatched screws I'll be ordering quite a few spare screws. I can't find a screw set for the d8t anywhere? Otherwise everything on it is extremely solid and I don't see myself breaking anything anytime soon What you running in it?

rctech132 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Right now I've just thrown in the old gear from my trophy truggy lol. Hpi flux rage esc( with no reverse thanks to water damage haha) and flux motor 1950kv. Got a 20kg savox in there aswell which is perfect. Eventually probably be getting a castle mamba monster pro 2 6s capable waterproof. For now though should be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 These bad boys need 5s min IMO! Let's see that D8T with my new car at oxshott... Km badger!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colicab Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) These bad boys need 5s min IMO! Let's see that D8T with my new car at oxshott... Km badger!!! Yeah tbh I ran 4s and it was fine, plenty of speed etc. But 5s and it comes alive!! 5s with a good torque-ey motor and you,ll be laughing your nutt off! Clocked mine doing 38mph on uneven grassland with a cheapo motor in it. Cant wait to try it with my Castle 1515 in Just watch the big longer drive shaft in the tekno v4 setup. Had one bend slightly, and cause of its size. Centrifugal force being applied to it made it looked like some one`s skip rope when it powered up.

rctech132 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Yup the one in mine is bent ever so slightly but it's hardly noticeable and doesn't affect anything really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megatron Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Hi, am new to the truggy world. Am presently building a D8t up to race next year. Still a bit of work to do but am doing it as and when I have funds to buy bits. Have a D812 as my buggy so keeping it in the family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would start at a 15t pinion and go up in 1 or 2 from there. Found a 20t to be too much for 5s using a 2350kv Trackstar motor. Tho currently running a Castle 2200kv and 17t pinion which hasnt topped 61c yet so think Im safe there. Tho this is all 5s, not 6s. Is anyone on here getting the tessmann edition or do you think its a waste of money it came out yesterday Not the full kit as i run a D8Te Tekno conversion, but interested in new parts. May hunt them down some point as hop-ups Had mine out last week to get my Castle motor properly aligned and running, which I did before shunting it into a parked car and bending my main drive shaft for 2nd time in 2 months. So waiting on new one from U.S. at the moment. Hope its fast-ish as Im off for 2 weeks from tomoz and NEED my D8T!!!

wwit Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) I'm Officially in the D8T Club.Just completed mine yesterday. I got a few pics of it. And after discovering I had let my receiver battery get to low to use while building this, lol, I did manage to run a couple tanks thru it last night. Even with the stock HPI 4.6 from my Trophy Truggy in it, it really opened my eyes to the difference of a good truggy(the TT) to an awesome truggy(D8T).Obligatory 'pics or it didn't happen' pics Oh and a youtube video as well.

Colicab Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Good to see more D8T owners in the club tbh. Was worried that they were getting a bit out of date and out of stock in places. Tho seems a nice burst of support for them again with the Tessman and folk getting the older models i assume a little cheaper. Love mine to bits, the one RC Id NEVER give away. I know its just a shell but the look of it and the design of the front and rear arms just make me happy . Need to beg/borrow/steal me a set of Joes tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megatron Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Latest update for my d8t. Got my centre shafts coming this week, then front shafts, tank and engine mount next month, so frustrating as I just want to drive it now. pictured with its little brother , my d812 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctech132 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 is it a common problem that the screws holding the front steering knuckles on fall out? the top one was gone after yesterdays bash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy82 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I think so bigger screws hold for a while,better off changing for alloy or just buy some new plastic ones cus they aren't expensive anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
