Sandy Ravage Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Just thought I'd start this as their were a few threads already about the Mini-8ight, but no showroom. Makes life easier than trawling threads looking at other peoples Mini-8ights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainamigo Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 very nice! do any 1/10th touring car wheels/tyres fit? also what is the traxxas/ofna shock mod? The ofna parts tree is OFN37100 , I cant remember the traxxas shock bottom part number, a quick googlw will find it I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neiloid1 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 very nice! do any 1/10th touring car wheels/tyres fit? also what is the traxxas/ofna shock mod? Cheers ! Parts numbers are Ofna tops are indeed #37100 and you need two to do all four and its the longer of the two and the Traxxas ends are #5349. You get six in a pack and you use the original Losi balls top and bottom - the Traxxas balls are huge. Lucky I got them as i landed a 10 foot jump on the left rear and broke the stock shock bottom. All fixed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you like. Heres mine neil as promised. Shell will arrive this week I think, I post another pic then. Spec is as follows; > Novak mongoose 10.5t combo > Savox sh-1250mg servo with kimsbrough saver > CF Shock towers and chassis brace (with alloy rear section) > Custom CF battery strap > Alloy front hinge pin holders > Alloy hubs, spindles carriers and wheel hexes > White RPM ball cups > stainless steel screw set > HPI worx emotion wheel with schumacher white rally block tyres > Green anodized lock nuts all round > Phat bodies rear wing > Soft anti roll bar front and rear > Carisma GT14B shocks with soft progressive shock springs Car handles like its on rails on slippy floor. For carpet, medium springs make it hook up nice, too much grip with soft springs. (maybe stiffer anti roll bar may also help. Any questions, feel free to ask, Danny Edited April 17, 2012 by mainamigo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainamigo Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I use gens ace packs, they real cheap and very good. The car is excellent in stock form, only things that you may want to change are wheels if your a racer., and maybe the servo. I'm gone ott on mine but I love it Theres lots of vids on youtube too.

goldblades7 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 2s is 2 cell (7.4v) 3s is 3 cell (11.2v) c rating is punch (the more the better) 1800mah is runtime the more the better! 2s is quick....3s is nuts lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainamigo Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) For this car any 2s pack or 3s pack will work fine if it fits in their. The c rating isn't all that important as the stock electrics dont have a massive power draw. I use a 2s 1300 mah 25c pack in mine and it flies. Lasts about 10 mins with that in. Thats a tiny battery too, you can get an 1800 in comfortably and even a 2200 with slight modification. Gens ace are all you need +D cheap and great.
