Damn that job looks good Vas. I tried one of these conversions on an old nitro and I can tell you it looked nothing like this. Really learnt something useful from this episode so thanks for another awesome video.
I just did a max 8 swap on my arrma typhon and im glad i watched this. I didnt even know thats how you calibrate your remote to the esc. Ive already run the darn thing! Guess i got lucky. Thanks for the tips once again!
Great video Vas,but then that is the norm for you thats why i'm a long time sub.I have the same truggy but enjoy nitro, i didn't know there were differences in the rtr and kit diffs.thank you for showing us.I really enjoy these kind of follow up,repair and upgrade videos.Thank You!
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
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.
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
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.
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😎☝🏻
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).
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
Ahh vas your great , i just got back into rc few months ago didnt see had conversion clip popped up today losi phanatic and be using brushless power latley with these arrmas nut want get 8t i never got rid my rigs so running out room i have a muggy great rig discontinued tho never did conversion like nitro too this nice rig the kit even better way better
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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 ?????
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 🤯
I converted my losi 8ight truggy to electric but I have a problem with the servo the servo tray moves when I move the servo, any suggestions what could it be!?
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
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.
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!
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.
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????
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
fgbaja29cc Lol,just talking smack brotha please don’t take it the wrong way,hey ur probably a cool guy I mean we r watching the same video so we both have good taste in rc’s ,meant no disrespect bro, it’s all lol fun
I'm so done with savox, 3 servos in a row with bad stators (sp) all sw blue boys all hv. Team Jx now. Corelless high voltage high torque waterproof 39 USD.
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
Hello. So is it necessary to change out the diffs as well?
Really like these pit-stop videos, Vaz. Thanks for creating.
Extremely clean conversion Vas.... Damn!!! Beautiful work!
Thanks Vas , very enjoyable video. Learning a lot of good tips from this. Like the Losi stuff.
Thank you for still making videos vas. I love your content and appreciate everything you do for us.
Thank you for watching. :)
@@AussieRCPlayground vas your great brotherman, I just found a 4.0 losi left over at my lhs need I say anymore 😁😁😁😁😁👌👍
Awesome video Vas. 👏👏 love the 30 minute long episodes. 👍
Thank you. Glad you're enjoying the content. :)
Damn that job looks good Vas. I tried one of these conversions on an old nitro and I can tell you it looked nothing like this. Really learnt something useful from this episode so thanks for another awesome video.
Nice job on the conversion. That electronics package is gonna pack a wallop!
I just did a max 8 swap on my arrma typhon and im glad i watched this. I didnt even know thats how you calibrate your remote to the esc. Ive already run the darn thing! Guess i got lucky. Thanks for the tips once again!
Great video once again!
Fantastic video Vas!
8ight T is a tough truggy. Handles great 👍
Great video Vas,but then that is the norm for you thats why i'm a long time sub.I have the same truggy but enjoy nitro, i didn't know there were differences in the rtr and kit diffs.thank you for showing us.I really enjoy these kind of follow up,repair and upgrade videos.Thank You!
Very neat and tidy, nice job vas 😊😊
Thank you. 😊
Mate well done thank you for ya knowledge
Awesome video very helpful did take a bit of work to get this conversion done 🎉
looking good
Im glad i didn't have to replace all the diffs on mine. Bougth a used 8T 2.0 and its been running fine after a few fixes.
You saved me so much hassle, probably I'll get a electric kit
I've got exact same truggy and esc/ motor combo.
Nice 👌
Cheers. 😊👍
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
Another upload, YAYYY! 😊

very nice man good job 👍
I converted mine about 2 weeks ago. I was looking on UA-cam for a video that showed me the steps. I wish this video was uploaded then😂😂
I see in the parts list you have disc brake set and a clutch, you may wanna correct those part numbers.
Superb.
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
He just showed how to install the servo box and flashed to conversion kit fully installed. Lol. Bra come on!
Rubber mounts are best for servo mounting. They are included in the savox box. To help with the vibrations
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.
I was wondering if you could just use the rtr spur and diffs.
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😎☝🏻
Still nothing compared to converting a hpi savage.
$70 in the USA that's not bad it comes with battery tray servo and receiver box and slide motor mount
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).
At least it’s half the price of an xray conversion kit
OMFG, nice trap Losi, very nice :/
Did this conversion today. Center diff HAS to be upgraded. Stripped the center diff 30 minutes later when I was done with the conversion🤦🏾♂️😢
Really. What is stripped in the center diff? And what is the optional upgrade?
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
Ahh vas your great , i just got back into rc few months ago didnt see had conversion clip popped up today losi phanatic and be using brushless power latley with these arrmas nut want get 8t i never got rid my rigs so running out room i have a muggy great rig discontinued tho never did conversion like nitro too this nice rig the kit even better way better

You are going to have a rival now in your rc Carnage videos.
Very likely. 😁
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.
is there a good 4s hobbywing combo for slash 4x4? i want to get something thats gonna be overpowered like a 2400kv motor
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.
Can you do another arrma kraton v3 video on 6s I just love the kraton
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
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
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
Can this electric conversion be done without changing out the diff gearing system ?
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 ?????
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.
Excellent video.. I'm Nitro all they way here. I have the 8IGHT-T RTR also.. but keeping it nitro.

is that one a 2.0 i think the gas 2-stroke one should be 3.0 right? maybe thats the diff differences
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?
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
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
Hello! I enjoyed your review! Subd. Thinking about converting a nitro myself. Looking for parts here in the states...
I converted my losi 8ight truggy to electric but I have a problem with the servo the servo tray moves when I move the servo, any suggestions what could it be!?
Switch mount can be used for motor fan..😀
If i do the brushless conversion kit only will it be rtr aside from motor and esc and steering seevos?
Hello, which version of losi 8ight did you have that was different from this one? Thanks!
Does this conversion works for a truggy 8eight 4.0
I have a the truck and would have to do the diff swap as well just tryi g to get all parts needed ordered
What is the best pinion gear for LOSA3551 - Centre Diff 46T Spur Gear??
Hello so is it necessary to change out the diffs as well?
Does it can put on eight4.0 nitro buggy?
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
Great video as always. I love your channel. It's the best RC car/truck channel on YT. I like your logo. How can I get my hands on some stickers?
I’m actually about to order some stickers and will let you know in future videos on how you can get some. Or even win some. 😉
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.
Do you have to buy the nitro and then convert it or can you just buy the chassis?
when is the senton 2018 review coming?
Hi was wondering did you use the motor support
What’s the part number for those adjustable arms
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!
I had a rtr 2.0 that came with the hd differential that had 4 spider gears.
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.
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????
If diff is blown you would hear bad noises. Check the grub screws.
Hi, great video! question would it have ben cheaper just buying a new car! What was the overall cost! cheers
Kit and all diffs cost 120. Ebay... esc and motor I had off the kraton 6s
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!!
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
Nice vid! Great car! How much was the total investment?
I wonder thats diff from the kit
Do you have the diff gears part number they come up as a clutch on the description found everything else
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
The out drives will not fit your diffs. You have to build a whole new diff or buy one for an electric model
So the conversion kit isn't so complete? Or was it never intended for the RTR version?
Yes it will take off if you don’t release fast enuf after the 3 beeps..😀
Hey vaz ! What’s up bro , by chance what battery and connection plugs did you use ?
I was just gonna say can u do a vid on conversion sweeeet
So there is no spur that would fit the thin center outdrive?
Not that I'm aware of...
This kit and parts fit's to Losi 8ight-t 2.0?
Hey, you put a wrong part number for Front Ring & Pinion Gear Set. It should be 242011 and 242012.
I just bought the $399 Eight T RTR. Can i convert that one to ele?
I believe so. :)
how many kv has the motor and how many s are you running it on?
2200kv 6s setup
Hey vaz will this conversion kit work on the losi 8ight t .31 gas version?
Yes, that's the one I have and converted. 😉
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
And also did you have to upgrade the diffs on the gas version?
Is this the losi that u were killin it n winning all the races at rc carnage? Or similar to it?
Steve Declark Listen to the video he tells you who's it is
fgbaja29cc Lol,just talking smack brotha please don’t take it the wrong way,hey ur probably a cool guy I mean we r watching the same video so we both have good taste in rc’s ,meant no disrespect bro, it’s all lol fun
Steve Declark ok no harm done ,It's all good
Maybe it’s for a low profile servo..
Maybe you're right...
some of the part numbers dont work.
What esc was used on this build
Hobbywing Max8
Is there a problem if it is 6s ???
It will eat the stock diffs up
I did this same setup by my rear diff breaks every other run
In other words, this was an RTR nitro to begin with, not the kit.
Correct.
Captain obvious
The 2.0 kit comes with a blank switch plate. 😉
Is the flat part by the receiver box mate?
@@barrycork2748 yep. 1 has a hole for the on off switch. The other has no hole for no switch. 👍
Is this a 3.0?
ROB STALLARD I think a 1.0
It's 4.0t rtr
That s why you should go arrma or nothing
I'm so done with savox, 3 servos in a row with bad stators (sp) all sw blue boys all hv. Team Jx now. Corelless high voltage high torque waterproof 39 USD.
I believe all you needed was a spur gear for the rtr. Coulda saved a few hundred
I was thinking the same thing.
