silone74 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Could you have the best of the bunch made lol, I have not seen any one either run 3s especially and not had problems, diffs would be a concern for me too if they are holding up as seen a few with problems again with them.

hebby Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Problems so far are really adding up Motor mount Motor Esc Servo Receiver Diffs Ring gear Ball ends Really not looking good ! Maybe others run there's none stop But have to say the ball ends are a problem and come off very very easy. No problem with diffs or any other of the above but as said maybe I haven't run it enough yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 The problem is the guys in the US, that are having problems don't seem to care and they don't send things back or complain to losi so they will never get sorted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deafty Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 This is going no where fast,. I'm probably gonna play around with an emb long chassis and hope that when LC release a truggy it's an easy conversion. As for the Losi,. my roller fell through on neg's so I'm out.

mydoddy69 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Not really huge amount of vids on good old YouTube and stock levels don't seem to be selling out fast like the buggy?. Has the mini rc craze all but gone ? Edited July 10, 2014 by mydoddy69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Not really huge amount of vids on good old YouTube and stock levels don't seem to be selling out fast like the buggy?. Has the mini rc craze all but gone ? No, I think the Mini 8ight-T has just been a fail lol. No offense to anyone who decided to take the plunge, I've decided not to though, if a company as big as Losi won't take on board the fact they're selling something with the wrong electrics in it, they aren't getting my money. If I happen to drop on a really cheap one second hand I'll probably buy it but not buying one new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hebby Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Well had mine on short grass today running 2s and god damn did the motor get hot don't think it will last long TBH. Think I'm gonna give Losi an email and see what the crack is 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hebby Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Email sent Think everyone else should email too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 As previously said though with numpties (Americans) not bothering to complain about a clear bad move on Losi's part, you may get a replacement motor, but it'll only do the same thing lol.

Oh How Original Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I suppose you could just keep sending them back, but at a fiver a time for your postage, and all the time spent waiting, is it worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hebby Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Would be when the next time I sent it back it was a big steaming Poo and a note saying I thought your motors where this good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chriswilson78 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Well I took mine back to the shop after it decided to go mental all by itself, all parts replaced FOC 4 x 3s batteries through it and the motor is still running hot 178 F the ESC 115 F and batter pack 85 F. Tonight's issue: No reverse!! forward and brake work fine but can't reprogram the ESC to have reverse, no big issue but yet another little issue to resolve. Cant complain about the shop the guys there are great. Put some new wheels on the car and it pulls some wheelies !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 In fairness, it wasn't hard to make a Mini 8ights motor hit 178F even on a 2s. Probably you're not running something like a 9t pinion, that's not all too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hebby Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 What anyone reckon sticking computer memory heat sinks to the motor for some extra cooling? Reckon it will work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I am going to be experimenting with some of those heat sinks on my GTB when I get it built back up, if you can find a motor heat sink small enough for the 24mm motor that might be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Why not just get a 540 and cut it down? Could even maybe stick a fan on it if you can fit one below the shell, being a truggy, I imagine it could, definitely bags more space than the buggy and with the can being so small, you've got a bit of room. Worth experimenting with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
