RC Pit-Stop 51 - Losi 8T Electric Conversion
An opportunity came up for me to do a electric conversion on a friend's Losi 8ight-T, so I took him up on it. He offered the car to me to do this video for you and to be able to run it at least once to show you how it goes compared to mine. This video explains the effort it takes to convert a stock Losi 8ight-T RTR into electric. The result may surprise you...
Thank you for watching and hope you enjoyed the video. :)

Really like these pit-stop videos, Vaz. Thanks for creating.

@MrBonger88 5 лет назад

Thank you for doing this. I’ve had my conversion kit for months but just haven’t had the motivation to do it. This gave me the push that I needed

@FullSend93 4 года назад

Hello. So is it necessary to change out the diffs as well?

@michaelsemenas6346 6 лет назад

Great video Vas, I did the same conversion on my nitro truggy after seeing the conversion you did on your gasser. I didn't bother with the front and rear diffs. I'll fix them if they fail. I also left the stock steering servo. I could have warned you about the diffs if you just would have asked! LOL

@SpradRex 6 лет назад

I converted mine about 2 weeks ago. I was looking on RU-vid for a video that showed me the steps. I wish this video was uploaded then😂😂

is there a good 4s hobbywing combo for slash 4x4? i want to get something thats gonna be overpowered like a 2400kv motor

@jemalekram4472 5 лет назад

Do you have to change the diff gears to 4? I've looked at the rtr e losi 8ight and that only has 2 gears In The diff as stock. I'm in 2 minds about converting my 4.0 rtr

@uNr3aLTaLLeNt 4 года назад

Were can i get the front and rear ring and pinon set at ? I looked up part number shows a clutch kit and a brake disc kit

@ybeykoz 3 года назад

I see in the parts list you have disc brake set and a clutch, you may wanna correct those part numbers.

@megatron-du2co 4 года назад

Hello, which version of losi 8ight did you have that was different from this one? Thanks!

@Jramb02 4 года назад

Do you know if the differentials for the losi 8ight 3.0 buggy will need to be rebuilt? Or is it just the 2.0 truggy?

@franknapolitano9144 6 лет назад

Can this electric conversion be done without changing out the diff gearing system ?

@franksantarcangelo1950 6 лет назад

Well I hope somebody at Losi watches this because that was extremely pricey for an electric conversion of course you did a great job I’m sure that things gonna rip😎☝🏻

@klinkkeng2338 6 лет назад

Still nothing compared to converting a hpi savage.

@emmybodel2626 6 лет назад

$70 in the USA that's not bad it comes with battery tray servo and receiver box and slide motor mount

@klinkkeng2338 6 лет назад

If your talking Savage you also have to upgrade the diffs and the driveshafts and the idler gear and the main drive gear in the transmission (highly recommended to upgrade all the gears in the trans but not needed).

@narrowempress1625 2 года назад

At least it’s half the price of an xray conversion kit

@mychannel-fm7gd 5 лет назад

Did this conversion today. Center diff HAS to be upgraded. Stripped the center diff 30 minutes later when I was done with the conversion🤦🏾‍♂️😢

@RBAERO 3 года назад

Really. What is stripped in the center diff? And what is the optional upgrade?

@tainofury6318 9 месяцев назад

I use my original center differential Dremel it out create a pit. It would have the room needed after you do that and you can still use your original metal diff

@jemalekram4472 5 лет назад

Could I use the diff's from a 8ight t 2.0 and put them in my 8ight t rtr to save me buying parts

@805hondajdm 3 года назад

If i do the brushless conversion kit only will it be rtr aside from motor and esc and steering seevos?

@FullSend93 4 года назад

Hello so is it necessary to change out the diffs as well?

@jalvarez066 5 лет назад

I converted my 8t rtr (that same one). Still using the plastic spur 45t. 6s HW Max 8 2200kv motor. Just got the 4.0 turnbuckles tlr shocks. One of the stock servos is really good so I kept it the spektrum 6100.

@born2fish838 3 года назад

I was wondering if you could just use the rtr spur and diffs.

@mojitos116 6 лет назад

Does this conversion works for a truggy 8eight 4.0

@thepaddychannel 6 лет назад

Thanks for the great video Vas, what size is the original spur? I picked up a striped out fuel roller XTM Mammoth from eBay, it has a 65ish tooth spur, should I change to something smaller [45t spur /15t pinion] or just use a bigger pinion like a 25t ratio would be roughly the same

@Sloppyjoe96 4 года назад

is that one a 2.0 i think the gas 2-stroke one should be 3.0 right? maybe thats the diff differences

@androidg33k18 6 лет назад

Excellent video.. I'm Nitro all they way here. I have the 8IGHT-T RTR also.. but keeping it nitro. I do also have the 8IGHT-T 4.0 roller which I purchased the conversion kit for .. also, going with the same kit you bought from HobbyWing, the EZRun MAX 8 combo.. now, I'm totally new to electric, this is my first. Your video didn't go into much detail about the battery. I want to go with 4S, so, how did you set this up ? Did you do 2 2S LiPo's or get adapter to make 1 connection and go with 1 4S battery ? What battery did you choose for the build ? etc etc etc .. HELP 🤯

@tylergordon9866 3 года назад

What is the best pinion gear for LOSA3551 - Centre Diff 46T Spur Gear??

@jehan0 6 лет назад

Rubber mounts are best for servo mounting. They are included in the savox box. To help with the vibrations

@powerROBY 2 года назад

hello I made this transformation with the losa 0912 kit on the losi 8ight 4.0 but once mounted the body of the outbreak does not mount because it touches the 4S hard case battery ..... which bodywork is good ?????

@cardboardcat3083 6 лет назад

Hey vas, this is the 8ight-T nitro RTR right? I wonder if you would still have to replace the diffs on the 8ight-T nitro race kit.

@IrishZorg 5 лет назад

Parts confusion is because AussieRC got special HorizonHobby version of Team Losi Racing 8IGHT-T 3.0 with gas engine (LOS04001). The car which is in the video is 8IGHT-T Nitro RTR: 1/8 4WD Truggy (LOS04011). It is kind of consumer grade version of TLR with lighter diffs, smaller OD front shocks, etc.

@revolversxl2836 6 лет назад

What’s the part number for those adjustable arms

@adamsabz6179 4 года назад

This was a ready to run truggy which is why you had to change all the diffs. The regular 4.0 truggy kit with gold chassis is direct bolt up dont change anything

@mercenarysaw 4 года назад

@dynasty4851 4 года назад

Do you have to buy the nitro and then convert it or can you just buy the chassis?

@rgqban6380 6 лет назад

Hey Aussie RC Playground I have a question. On my Typhon it quit pulling off the front wheels and the spur and pinion look good when I open the front diff case. What could be??? I haven’t open the diff yet. Any suggestions????

@3drc681 4 года назад

If diff is blown you would hear bad noises. Check the grub screws.

@uNr3aLTaLLeNt 4 года назад

I have a the truck and would have to do the diff swap as well just tryi g to get all parts needed ordered

@chrissolo8472 2 года назад

Hey vaz ! What’s up bro , by chance what battery and connection plugs did you use ?

@mamega99 5 лет назад

is it possible to use the stock center diff spur gear from the 8ight buggy or truggy instead the spur gear from the kit? thanks a lot!!

@mychannel-fm7gd 5 лет назад

Mario MG you would have to raise the diff 1mm from the chassis. If not, spur will be against the chassis not allowing it to move

@s14tat 6 лет назад

You are going to have a rival now in your rc Carnage videos.

@AussieRCPlayground 6 лет назад

Very likely. 😁

@s14tat 6 лет назад

I was actually shocked when I only saw 2 spider gears in the diff, and how small the diff itself was before you even talked about changing out all the things over in the video. Also it was a shame you couldn't run the v1 talion last outting. I have v2.5 talion with a max8 combo and I want to know how it compares to your 8ight t e.

@nickshields4233 5 месяцев назад

Do you have the diff gears part number they come up as a clutch on the description found everything else

@connorhart1237 5 лет назад

What is the part number for the outdrives? I have the same model but i just want to use the smaller spur gear with the nitro engine. PLEASE HELP

@3drc681 4 года назад

The out drives will not fit your diffs. You have to build a whole new diff or buy one for an electric model

@RBAERO 3 года назад

This kit and parts fit's to Losi 8ight-t 2.0?

@reyes-rc9115 3 года назад

So the conversion kit isn't so complete? Or was it never intended for the RTR version?

@Sloppyjoe96 4 года назад

its funny im actually planning on getting a 8ight with full intentions on learning and running nitro but everything i look up goes around rabit trail back to electric conversions, im like that one crazy guy running the wrong way from disasters lol

@epic27 2 года назад

Just to add another thing, if you have a receiver where you've set a failsafe to apply the breaks for nitro during signal loss, make sure you rebind/reset the receiver before calibrating the ESC! Just had a little snafu happen after my initial shakedown run, didn't follow turning off my ESC before the radio. Fortunately, nothing broke and nobody was hurt.

@gatorjackrc3965 4 года назад

If I ever do get a Losi 8T I might as well get a roller because you said is very expensive to convert and it is

@002nd2nunn 5 лет назад

Looks like David bought a Losi 8ight-T 2.0 RTR, not a TLR 8ight-T 2.0. It is a shame that Horizon / Losi changed the drivetrain from the TLR kit to the Losi RTR version. I have a TLR 8ight-T 2.0 Kit and I used this exact same conversion kit and had 0 issues and did not have to buy any additional parts. Great video keep it up!

@hiramrodriguez4323 11 месяцев назад

I had a rtr 2.0 that came with the hd differential that had 4 spider gears.

@HL-OOI 6 лет назад

So there is no spur that would fit the thin center outdrive?

@AussieRCPlayground 6 лет назад

Not that I'm aware of...

@rcplayer7581 5 лет назад

@TheWheels1965 6 лет назад

Hi, great video! question would it have ben cheaper just buying a new car! What was the overall cost! cheers

@AussieRCPlayground 4 года назад

Yes, that's the one I have and converted. 😉

@jeremybreeden4228 4 года назад

Okay thanks for your reply! I was just watching a vid on the guys channel ready set rc and he mentioned something about he had to use some kind of spacer to lift up the center differential for his to mesh right he even provided a place that use to sale the part but they no longer do. Did you have to use any type of spacer for yours to mesh properly? Could you help me out asap as i am trying to order parts tonight. Thanks

@jeremybreeden4228 4 года назад

And also did you have to upgrade the diffs on the gas version?

@d3et1roi3t 4 года назад

@halleffect1 6 лет назад

Kyosho does the same thing, makes different diffs for the RTR. makes no sense producing all those extra parts other than to be able to charge more for the kit.

So now it's an scte with buggy wheels and body. If you use a receiver box from an scte it would have a solid removable cover where that switch on yours would be.

@abooddoost9902 5 лет назад

Is there a problem if it is 6s ???

@3drc681 4 года назад

It will eat the stock diffs up

@IrishZorg 5 лет назад

Hey, you put a wrong part number for Front Ring & Pinion Gear Set. It should be 242011 and 242012.

@narrowempress1625 2 года назад

The gas diffs are not actually different to the nitro diffs. The losi 8ight t 2.0 nitro race roller and rtr and gas diffs were the same, but the 3.0 rtr had 2 gears and race kit had 4, and the one in this video was a 3.0 rtr, which is why the conversion kit parts didn’t fit. If you have a race kit then this kit should work fine. If you have 3.0 rtr then it’s different like the one in the video.

@HL-OOI 6 лет назад

Yes it will take off if you don’t release fast enuf after the 3 beeps..😀

@ns-es9vs 4 года назад

some of the part numbers dont work.

@XxroyalxX1 2 года назад
