8IGHT/8IGHT-T

Starter Box

LOSA99061

Installing the battery

You have several battery options to power your

8IGHT starter box. You can use 7.2V Ni-Cd or

Ni-MH battery packs or a single 12V gel cell.

Pre-assembled wiring harnesses and mounting

ﬁxtures for both of these options are included.

Please note the proper mounting and wiring

layout in Images 2 and 3. Start by moving the

chassis ﬁxtures to the truggy (Long) position

as seen in Images 4 through 6 and explained in

the “Adjusting the Chassis Fixtures” section and

remove the small Phillips head screw on the top

of the box as shown in Image 1.

Two 7.2V battery packs

Install the holder and packs as seen in

Image 2. Plug one pack into each of the plugs.

Note: The plugs are keyed so they can

only be installed one way.

Gel Cell

Install the holder and gel cell as seen in Image 3

or the wiring diagram on Page 2. Note the Red (+)

and Black (-) terminals on the battery. Install the

jumper plug and battery power plug as shown.

Unless you plan on using the power terminals

next to the switch, you must tape and/or cut the

ends of the loose battery leads. Do not leave these

exposed as they can easily short out the battery

and cause damage and a safety hazard.

Adjusting the chassis ﬁxtures:

For the 8IGHT buggy—rotate the front ﬁxture

with the “v” pointing toward the end of the box

as shown in Image 4. Depress the lock button as

shown in Image 6.

Move the rear ﬁxture to the innermost

(short) position.

For the 8IGHT-T truggy—rotate the front ﬁxture

with the “v” pointing inward as shown in image 5.

Depress the lock button as in image 6 and move

the rear ﬁxture to the outermost (long) position as

seen in Image 5.

Starting

Place the chassis into the ﬁxtures as shown in

Image 7. Note how buggy chassis sits in ﬁxtures

and location of starter wheel.

Turn the power switch “ON” (Image 8).

Press down on the rear of the chassis at which

point the motors should power up and the starter

wheel will engage the ﬂywheel on the engine.

Note: If the engine is new, tight, or

ﬂooded, it may be necessary to loosen

the glow plug 2–3 turns to get it

turning over. Re-tighten after engine

starts turning over. Do not continue

to stall the motors or allow the rubber

wheel to grind on the ﬂywheel or

chassis.

After the engine starts, release the chassis—it

should be able to sit in the ﬁxtures and idle

without interference. Turn switch off.

Adjusting the starter switch: Tech/Service Tips You can adjust the starter switch and the point at which the motors start running by turning the Phillips head adjustment screw (accessible through the hole in the bottom of box as seen in Image 9). • On some models it may be necessary to relieve the ends of the flywheel opening on the bottom of your chassis (Image 10) to prevent the chassis from interfering with the starter wheel and allow the wheel easy access to engage the flywheel on the engine.
