Does anyone have any experience with these? I'm going to be running on a tacky high bite track indoors and thought it would improve consistancy running them on all four corners. I have considered running them on the rear only as well. Any input??

I'm running these on my buggy....

thank you

+2mm you mean ?

I run the +2's on my buggy all the time on all 4 corner's...cant say it was night and day difference.......but something. :)

I run the +2mm hubs on my 8ight 2.0 buggy and it increases the width to the maximum width allowed. I can't say it was a night and day difference, but the buggy is more stable than my son's that does not have the +2mm hubs.

warpig,
Usually the +2 hubs are used to increase stability. It is driver preference. I only run the +2 in the rear. You can run the stock setup if you have a lot of traction and need the buggy to rotate through the turns quicker. Hope this helps...

My package said +1mm ... and +2mm... I didn't measure them. I assumed it was +1 per side equaling +2mm total... They do seem quite a bit wider.

I will have very little time to setup my buggy is why I decided to ask. I haven't raced on the surface and have been told it has so much traction some 1/8 buggies are traction rolling. So, I thought it best of me to purchase these hubs and try them out.

Thanks for the advice.. it's always appreciated!

If the track has soo much traction, it might be a good idea to increase negative camber on all four corners.

i set my camber at the stock #'s and if im traction rolling ill crank it up a degree or 2 which will usually take care of it.

Yeah, that's on my list of options to try. I am just curious about the hubs. I do thing it is an adjustment that will help. The losi has alway been the car that is totally happy in a situation with more traction than necessary. So, I feel I will be okay. It never hurts to ask and learn from someone elses experiences.

something else that you might consider on high bite is the 12 degree castor blocks. they will make the car easier to drive.
