daymo Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Just got a sway bar kit for my Mini 8ight and noticed on the back of the packet there's a warning "This product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm" Surprised anyone would take these out of the packet after reading that. Are these being made in Chernobyl. I normally just rip the contents out of everything I buy I just happened to notice as I was finishing a cup of tea Nice to know they are putting poison in our toys!

Fontie Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Just noticed the warning is on every Losi spares bag I've got. Funny these chemicals are only known to the state of California and no other US state or anywhere else in the world. Californians being over dramatic me thinks. Wow so many small grub screws/small parts in this sway bar kit Ive never fitted one before gonna struggle I think. Note to self don't lose or drop anything lol Where do the tiny grub screws go ?

silone74 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Not had much use this year but I am thinking of getting the exotek chassis and taking the cm26 out and fitting a leopard 2838 instead. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbob Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Any other ideas on the tyre and wheel combo? Took mine out tonight on a 3s on tarmac and she span like crazy lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Just the 1/10 touring car wheels that i use but even on 2s they don't last too long although longer than stock lol, i have some rally style tyres to try that are not quite knobbly they look more really thick road tread.

RCbob Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Im being lazy as this thread is far to long to read through but can anyone give me an idea on esc and motor upgrade for the losi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 60amp turnigy/hobbyking style esc, if you want a nice 4 pole motor leopard do a nice one http://thumbsdesigns.com/product/leopard-5800kv-4-pole-sensorless-motor/ I use leopard motors in all my other mini's and i am swapping the cm26 i currently have in the m8 to the 2838 leopard motor when the exotek chassis arrives.

RCbob Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) so i think the motor has just given up on the losi!! I can here something spinning but the pinion isn't turning!! Ahhhhhhh Any ideas for quick fix or change? Edited August 11, 2015 by RCbob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbkpsycho Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) I recently got a losi mini 8ight, im looking at replacing the servo, can any you guys recommend me one please? and do these wheels fit ok on the mini 8ght? http://www.modelsport.co.uk/fastrax-street-rally-block-tyre-mounted-on-10-spoke-neon-yellow-wheels-4-/rc-car-products/387198 Edited August 11, 2015 by nbkpsycho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silone74 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) I use a savov sh 1257mg servo absolutely brilliant, needs a tiny bit filing off the servo holder on the mini 8,http://www.apexmodels.com/gbu0-prodshow/RGS-SAV-SH1257MG.html?gclid=CJfJx9OaoscCFajHtAod7eAG6g Those wheels if i remember correct will fit but need a small shim, i use 1/10 touring wheels 3mm-6mm offset and buy the rally type tyres or road tyre depending on where i am running. I prefer 6mm offset. Very small selection i have for mine Si Edited August 11, 2015 by silone74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
