Part 2, RTR LOSI 8ight T / Nitro Motor, Engine Mounts, & Exhaust Installation

[@gearheadaddict7183]

Its pretty cool to say that this exact Losi 8ight T that is in this video is now my sons and is in his room on his nightstand.. 👍🏻🔧🤝

[@brandodurham]

Seriously man I’ve been flying RC planes of every type at every level most of my life and no one has information this useful (and correct) out there for that sector of the hobby to help newbies, or even advanced levels. Nice work. I wish I had all of your tools 😃

[@BOTAJELL]

Brandon Durham thank you brother!! I appreciate the kind words!

[@gorillazombies189]

One of the best carburetor explanations. First to show .5 mm gap. Awesome just amazing.👏👍🏻

@@BOTAJELL Hey with those new engine mounts, did it drop the engine some compared to the factory engine mount on the rtr?

[@seanhatch4425]

Some great information in this video.

[@racingbashingrcs8330]

You just helped me a lot Jonh! I have been looking for engine mounts for my truggy. So will I be able to use bump start with these mounts without replacing stock flywheel? I can't use bigger flywheel because it touches other parts.

[@BOTAJELL]

Racing Bashing RCs yes ! Use the TLR 4.0 engine mounts on your RTR losi and it will work on bump box so you can start running better engines that use back plates

[@syndicatecat9315]

How important / good is it to do that expecially for a noob / starter (like me) And what do I do with the motor with the RTR. And offcourse this means that with pullstarter

[@slipstreamracing692]

switching the clutch has been a chore but fun , hope it fires up ok ,,,,

[@BOTAJELL]

Mike Geren after to have done a few it’s like nothing!

[@DarealZT0RM]

no way, i have that same exact piston stopper, its red and has the same exact grip and everything. Thats awesome.

[@mouseboy101]

Ok fellow fans I tryed to go back to his older videos to see what pipe he an all he loves it was the 9901 pipe and 41021 its for my 3.0 buggy I just got, Think the engine is the P5

[@BOTAJELL]

mouseboy101 my favorite pipe is ERCM EndBleed. Then depending on what motor you have will decide on the pipe I like. If it's a modded motor or stock or .21 to 28 30 or .32 that will Decide on the pipe or header I like also if you race or bash will make me use different headers and pipes to. Let me know what your motor is 100% and if you race or bash. Because the set up you say is only good for a race track not good to bash or spank on E-words!

[@mouseboy101]

BOTAJELL I got the buggy for the track so I can get into raceing an see how I like it the engine is definitely the nova P5. Thx to this video I found out why my clutch bell had so much play an front bearing blew up. All the lil tips you add really help us new guys. I got this buggy for a good deal from an E word guy

[@BOTAJELL]

mouseboy101 that's a good set up for racing at a track ! Also try the 41001 header! If you want some Zeeeaaaaahh? With that motor.

[@jimlucas293]

No joke I think to move up to New York to make more money lol but i'm very serious bit have a great Holiday

[@BOTAJELL]

Jim Lucas thanks bro! I wish you the best and great holidays to you and your family!! Hell yes I wish you come to Long Island NY and become my neighbor bro so we can get a lot of wrenching done to catch up with all our projects so we can Braaaaap Braaaaap !!

[@gearhead682010]

Is the rtr setup decent for someone who's thinking about getting into nitro truggy's? I've never owned any rc vehicle but I really like the Losi 8ight t

[@BOTAJELL]

AltoAnimal109 Ball yep 👍 it’s perfect to use especially if someone is starting out !!

[@fpvandgasrc4321]

i see that this truggy has a stock 52t spur gear... i want the lightened losi one.. but i only see 48, 50, and 51.. what do you recommend for teeth with the stock clutch bell...? thanks

[@efndzbravo]

Hi. Very didactic video, thanks. But I have a question... With those TLR motor mounts, can you start with any starter box other than TLR or Dynamite? For example, LRP, Ultimate......

[@BOTAJELL]

You will be able to start your engine with almost any starter box not sure about your LRP box but 90% chance it will .

[@the_true_moe6715]

lol, i am the opposite!, I love those easy cuppers on the pipe, but they do suck. i was running my mayhem that had the mac .26 engine in it and i bought the thing used. I fixed it up and and everything, the servo was molded so it turned verrryyy hard, i ended up knocking my hot ass elfra pipe off and it came down the street sounding like a two stroke dirt bike. Supper loud, now im missing one zip tie on my pipe holder and my spoiler parts...

[@BOTAJELL]

THE_TRUE_MOE hope you find the parts

[@the_true_moe6715]

BOTAJELL thanks hope so ha.

Can u do a video how to convert from pull start and how to use a bump box

what's a good motor to run on the 8ight as an upgrade from the stock .28?

[@clifynite1318]

Hey botajell It’s Cliff from Canada. Have a quick question in regards to a truggy. What type of tires do you use to bash? Do you step down to a buggy tire or do you step up to a monster truck tire? Also still want to come down to one of those bash events man. Looks like a Ton of fun and I’m willing to make the trip. Let me know please I would love to hear your thoughts on best tire to bash on a Truggy

[@BOTAJELL]

Cliff Sousa I like the DE Racing rims and the 1178 Badland tires mounted to those rims.you can see them here kzbin.info/www/bejne/jl7HaZudfb-Xl7M

[@jussk811]

Hi quick question how many tanks Did you run through each vehicle for the idle break in process to be complete

[@BOTAJELL]

Don’t know I don’t go by tanks I go buy 1 quart but some engines need 2 quarts like Piccos and LRP.32 .

[@jussk811]

@@BOTAJELL Oh okay, reason for asking is because i will be purchasing this same exact vehicle and just wanted to know how much or how long until it will be ready to be driven around and begin tuning.

[@DPINPIN718]

You run nitro all year round?

[@FullSend93]

Hey bro I know you told me to get some 30 to 11 nitro but my LHS only got in sidewinder 20 to 11 or 20 to 9...one spot has NITROTANE 30% nitro but doesn't show the oil%...is there a reason why to get a higher % for nitro...I'll be mainly bashing or dirt running

[@BOTAJELL]

CHAMORROxCHAMP nitrotane is good but I don’t like because it’s clear! I like a color in fuel so I can see it ! Check to see what oil is in the Nitro tane because if need be you can always add a little castor oil to it but I think you should be fine !! Try to get Byron’s 30/11 but if I couldn’t buy it ? I would use the nitrotane

[@BOTAJELL]

Use medium plug

[@mattfavor2940]

u should just send me that p3 picco 28.man I always wanted one if those but we're discontinued when I got really into truggies.so had to get the tns boost 28 which is an awesome engine also.

[@BOTAJELL]

Matt Favor the PICCO Boost is one of my favorite Nitro Engines!!!!

Have u made a vid of center diff lube upgrade or rear diff ?

[@BOTAJELL]

John Holland not ON my daughters RTR LOSI 8ight Truggy yet but I do have a video up of that on my TLR 4.0 8T build videos

[@BOTAJELL]

In the 4.0 diffs I did 100,000 on the center diff and 50,000 front and rear diffs! On the RTR you want to go thicker or upgrade to 4.0 Diffs then do what I did with weights . It’s great trust me I’ve done a lot with my set up and it still keeps kicking ass today. I’ve used Modified TNS 32 and 28-8 Engines with this set up.

Hey would it be a bad idea if i put a Lrp .32 race insprired engine in my losi eight buggy? Or what Lrp nitro engine should i buy?

[@BOTAJELL]

Rc freak 101 out that 32 x on a truggy !! With Buggy go .21 BONITO or .21 Elite 8 or .21 Paloma LE Orange 🍊 Head or B2101 O.S. ! I can go on an on there or so many great engines for Buggy ! Also Picco Boost .21 !

[@BOTAJELL]

Also REDS. That’s the Son of NOVAROSSI that is on his own now! He also makes great engines

[@rcfreak1015]

Hmm i was looking at the team orion .21 nitro cause i need it to kick ass and be affordable at the same time 😝😂😂😎

[@BOTAJELL]

Rc freak 101 team Orion is cool and another one you should definitely consider is a WERKS Engine!! They have from very affordable to very expensive and you can find sometimes all New B5 Engines cheap and they kick ass and very reliable and last a long time even the B2 engine. My friend has a Modified B2 Werks Engine and it kicks ass ! I’m getting my new Werks B5 Modified from RB Mods and it most likely will spank that ass of a $400 dollar nitro engine and I got that Werks Engine for 100 bucks . I’m not sure how much the Modified job is going to cost yet because I sent Rick 6 New Nitro Engines to him to Modify and the more Engines you give him to do the better the price on each one so I save money that way in the long run as well. I sent him my Picco Boost .28, LRP.32 X series, Novarossi 28-8, Novarossi Roma .25, Novarossi Drake Edition.21 5 port, and my WERKS B5 !

[@rcfreak1015]

BOTAJELL okay sweet thanks bro! Ill look into those after i do my homework on those (look more in depth of those engines!)

[@Douger318]

I NEED SET IF THOSE MOTOR MOUNTS HOW CAN I GET A SET FROM YOU, CANT FIND THEM ANYWHERE

[@805hondajdm]

hey i man hows it goin i just picked up a losi 8ight truggy rtr and started breakin it in but it wont stay on once i remove the ignitor

[@BOTAJELL]

ZL1_BALDO 805 did you preheat heat your engine to 200 F degrees? What engine do you have ?

[@BOTAJELL]

Bro I love the ZL1 !!! Zeeeeeaah 👍🏼⛽️🔥💨

[@805hondajdm]

i have the .28 dynamite motor i got it figured out stays on and idles good im following ur steps for break in so far 5tanks in 🤘 how do i know when i start tuning when i go fast safe zone so i dnt lean it out to much

[@805hondajdm]

yes i did pre heat to 210

[@BOTAJELL]

ZL1_BALDO 805 great 👍🏼 just keep the igniter on for a bit and give it Throttle to clear the engine out a bit then remove the igniter if she still stalls ? Make sure your running Byron’s 30-11 fuel and a medium plug and you may have to lean the low speed needle little at a time until she will idle on her own! Make sure the idle gap is a 1/2 mm! Do not touch the idle ever again! Only raise or low your idle with low speed needle.

[@dylansingh76]

Hey botajell question, is it possible to turn an rtr 8ight T into a 4.0 ?

[@BOTAJELL]

Dylan Singh no it’s not . You can turn it into almost a 3.0 but it would be much cheaper to just buy a 3.0 or a 4.0 race kit if you had to add everything!!! You can turn a RTR into a great Truggy but like a 3.0 with some 4.0 upgrades?? But even the chassis is different like lighter and machined different on a race kit like a 3.0 or 4.0. Give the RTR to your kids and build yourself the 4.0 kit since there cheaper now since when I bought mine .

[@dylansingh76]

Ohh thanks I didn’t know, I am 16 years old lol and I don’t have kids 😭 but this is going to be my first nitro rc switching up from the e words all because of your videos.

[@dylansingh76]

Hey botajell one last question for you how much does Track Day Hobbies charge for 1 quart of Byron’s 30 percent Nitro fuel I go there often but never bought nitro fuel there what’s the price for one quart ?

[@BOTAJELL]

Dylan Singh last time I bought Byron’s 30-11 was months ago from track day hobbies and I bought 3 cases of gallons because it’s cheaper this way in the long run and I have it stored in a damp free dark closet to stay fresh for a long long time . I’m not sure 🤔 how much? Call him up or next time you go there for some or something? Just ask him.

[@dylansingh76]

BOTAJELL thanks nitro brother 👍
