May not seem big but round here, we only see a few Losi 8ights... finally got mine in the post and wow is it amazing... The Kyosho looks and is so primitive compared to the 8ight.

Everything fits so nicely and its crammed, but somehow just slots in like it was made for it (electronics i mean, all the rest was made for it)..

The toe-out is from the camera, alot of pictures do this. I have pics of my 1/8ths and they are set .5 in and the camera pics look as if there is 10 degrees out

Ive yet to test it out, but this weekend ill try it out...

yeah, there isnt much toe-out.

Its so weird how losi is just changing the standards of everything, the Buggy wheels are not standard size, the clutch bearing are bigger, so i cant run my spare bearings (thats why im not using the Losi clutch bell)... they may improove performance, but for convinience, im gonna stick with standard wheels and bearings...

I might use the TL step pins tires for messing about but for racing im using GRPs.

so does that mean that the rear tires are not toe in, but straight? I can't see how a picture can lie, I think you ****ed up setting up your wheels and tellin us that it's your camera's fault. If one pic looked normal and the above view looked whacked then I'll trust you, but I'll put my trust in the camera pics.
