I Have just bought a losi eight 2.0 rtr and after running in my car is over heatingin low speeds all settings are set at factory settings and im using 25% Neo+ fuel any tips my car temp gets up bout 240 f

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@TheChelsea0094 240 actually isn't bad at all. You're actually right in the prime area. If you want to cool things down you could open both the low and high speed needle about an hour (1/12 of a turn) but honestly if it's developing good power I'd leave it as-is.

@HorizonRCdotCom Hey thanks for the reply! The owners manual said to run it at about 170-230 so i guess i was just getting little concerned! The controller was going into oveheat so i shut it down and was just after more info since this is my first nitro buggy !

[TheCagomoC]

can i switch to 30% fuel after breaking in with 20%...

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@TheCagomoC You generally want to break in with the same fuel you're going to run on a day-to-day basis.

Hi, Great vid! what is (are) recommended glow plug(s) for the losi turbo conversion kit (454)?

[rafa37523]

I read that a high oil content makes you to be in a very lean condition without noticing. it is true?

I had practiced the idle braking method, but i would like to know more about the heat cycling, it this Any good?? , it true that it is wrong to LEAN the mixture to have more heat.??

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@wirelesscps LRP had nothing to do with the development of the Losi 454 engine that is included with the 8IGHT-T 2.0 RTR or the LST XXL

[wirelesscps]
