Please someone post a rear diff shimming video for Losi 2.0 8b/8t I trying to find proper mesh setting!

@savannahmick2010

You want to shim your diffs to where they are just a hair notchy feeling or one shim less than slightly notchy. Then once they break in they will be perfect after a few tanks.

What tool are you using to tighten the shocks?

[TLRforlife]

@carrilloch Losi 8ight kits come with a specific shock tool.

[miraHASH]

Which oil you use? thanks

When he said "pump the shock" I immediately pictured his wife.

Sweet! Thanks for the tips.

I tried this exact method and the shock would not compress. Not sure what I am doing wrong?!?

[vwvr6t]

@bedevil1 release the cap a little till you see oil coming out of the side hole, let it bleed a little close and compress the shaft againg, you always can do this till you liking. If doesn't work? take it apart and do all over again.

[bedevil1]

@vwvr6t This is the technique I tried. What I found was if you do this and get the foam saturated with oil the gig is up! You must keep the foams dry and Adam's technique works brilliantly. Cheers!
