Losi 8ight T 4.0 RBMods Break In

[@bmorecee]

Glad to see that I’m not the only brother who converted an RTR

[@CrucialRC]

Nah you are not the only one bruh. I changed everything on mine cause they stopped selling the 4.0 for like 4-5 months. I didn't think they were going to sell anymore. It was an expensive venture.

[@scottbuck9348]

That pipe is CRUCIAL!!!

[@CrucialRC]

Haha. Thanks bro!

[@buffalosoldier4717]

Nice truck lot of work had to be done for the conversion,

Do you have a IG or something. I have a new 8x kit I put together and have Novarossi 28.7 and never started it yet and might need some help.

[@CrucialRC]

No problem. Lance Prout on Facebook. Or you could email at crucial118 at yahoo.com

[@royarsey5429]

that fuel filter has the brass clunk inside? so small...just curious because of the size.. also aren't you suppose to let it sit on idle on the first 2 tanks then run slow on 3rd tank..IDK i'm still learning how to on nitro. Nice engine & pipe/manifold..

[@CrucialRC]

The external filter has just a screen that can be opened and cleaned out. It is really unnecessary if you have a clunker in your tank. I paid for the RBMods breaking at his shop so I was just completing the "last 5%" that Rick suggests. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@angel__randomizer2697]

Hey man noobie question. Are all 8ight models are universal? Cause I just bought my very first nitro buggy. And it happen to be the first model 8ight. And I wanna upgrade a few basic things like bearings and better brakes and shocks. But only see parts for 3.0 and 4.0.

[@CrucialRC]

A lot of parts can be used between them all but some can't. Don't quote me on this but I believe the shocks and brakes can be used throughout. Bearings possibly. Best thing to do is go to amain and do a search and make sure the part numbers match. Wish I could help more and maybe someone else will chime in. Good luck bro

Little tip before messing with low end needle tune the high end needle first will give better performance

[@CrucialRC]

True that Kevin. I had some learning to do when it came to tuning. Appreciate the tip tho.

[@markalan4026]

From tank number 1 of break in, I'll lean the low speed needle until I get a nice steady idle, but no leaner than that until after I tune the high speed needle after break in.

[@skylark350408]

What wheels/tires are those? Thanks

[@CrucialRC]

Check the description bruh. All the info is in there. Thanks for stopping thru.

[@Bro_wdf_you_doing]

Man I'm going to get my first nitro a losi 8ight t.... Any advice?

[@CrucialRC]

Be patient and watch a lot of videos. Check out Woogie Nitro, MrLilChilly, Sherman RC, and Botajell. That's a lot of knowledge there. Take your time and always heat the engine before running, fatten needles before leaning to see if it makes it worst or better, and put the piston to BDC after running. And above all, HAVE FUN. Feel free to ask me anything on you journey. Thanks for watching Brock!

you need to clean the engine out with fresh full before you try to start when you get it back from RB it has a ton of oil in it nice job but not a fan of monster truck tires on a truggy but very clean nice job also on a break in you really need to put alot of heat on engine constant with head heater or heat gun not good to run if temps are below 200 it will not seat piston

Trying to remember🤔 Maybe 160. Wasn't running it too hard and she was already broken in.

@@waltwalt9632 A long time actually. Rick at RBMods said it kept raining there and he couldn't bench break-in because his equipment to do that process was outside. Dont forget your engine is a Nova 28-8. It will perform great without being modded. All I use are Novas, great motors
