TLR 1/8 8IGHT-XT/XTE 4WD Nitro/Electric RC Truggy Race Kit
The new Team Losi Racing® 8IGHT-XT/XTE, Next Generation Truggy, builds on the championship-winning heritage of its predecessors with updates to the suspension geometry and drivetrain and the chassis layout that make it both easier to drive and tougher to beat. Plus, it includes Nitro and Electric in one box! The 8IGHT-XT/XTE has a combination of features second-to-none, including a large footprint engine mount, 3mm chassis, cab-forward body, machined aluminium shock caps, and so much more.
Designed to win straight out of the box, the 8IGHT-XT/XTE expands performance and is ready for the winner's circle.
The 8ight-xt is designed to be compatible with both electronic and Nitro parts with chassis parts that can be easily swapped to suit your preferred power source.
The centre driveshaft angles have been carefully adjusted to match front and rear, providing a smoother, more balanced 4WD driving experience.
The weight has been moved forward in the chassis to provide a better driving balance to the vehicle and less parts needed to carry
The 8IGHT-XT/XTE Next Gen suspension geometry has been completely revamped making a truck that is fast, nimble, and easy to drive. This includes a myriad of updates, including wider front pivot with less scrub radius, narrower rear pivot, longer front and rear arms, and updated hub offset.
The 8ight features a redesigned steering rack which will allow more ackerman adjustments and an improved servo saver to eliminate bellcrank bind during high loads.
The 8ight has been upgraded and fitted with newly redesigned machined 7075-T6 aluminium shock towers with updated camber link holes.
- Improved Suspension Geometry - The 8IGHT-X Next Gen suspension geometry has been completely revamped making a car that is fast, nimble, and easy to drive. This includes a myriad of updates including longer front and rear arms, wider front pivot with less scrub radius, narrower rear pivot, and updated hub offset
- Suspension Arms - All new suspension arms have been designed to accept stiffener plates that will allow racers to tune the flex of the suspension
- Wide 3mm Chassis - Chassis width has been increased to aid in stability and give the truggy a more neutral feel as well as equalised side to side for equal torsional flex and thinned down to 3mm for weight savings
- Larger Pinion Bearing - The internal pinion bearing size in the front and rear has been increased for added durability
- Cab Forward Style Body - Cab forward design helps with overall downforce, which improves steering and overall stability
- Chassis Side Guards - New chassis side guards that have an improved fit onto the chassis
- Adjustable Castor Blocks - 17.5 deg castor blocks that allow the height of the spindle to be adjusted
- Bleeder Shock Caps - Machined aluminium shock caps with threaded bleeder holes for easy and consistent bleeding of oil
- Steering Rack - Redesigned steering rack which will allow more Ackerman adjustments and an improved servo saver to eliminate bell-crank bind during high loads
- Shock Towers - Redesigned machined 7075-T6 aluminium shock towers with updated camber link holes
- Better Diff Access - The front and rear diff case have been altered to allow easier access to the differentials without removing the bulkheads from the vehicle
- Sway Bar System - New sway bar system that has adjustable length links to allow better equalisation of each side of sway bar as well as collars that keep the sway bars centred
- Updated Radio Tray - An updated radio tray now puts the throttle servo near the engine to eliminate additional linkage. The updated radio tray will ensure the throttle servo is rigidly mounted to avoid any flex by floating the servo off of the centre differential
- Optimised Shocks - The 8IGHT-X shocks are optimised and lightened to decrease the centre of gravity and lower the weight of the car
- Large Bearing Spindles and Carriers - All four corners of the vehicle have been updated to use large ball bearings and the same bearings
- Shorter Wheelbase - The wheelbase has been shortened to aid in grip as well as provide more agile handling
- LiPo/Li-Ion Compatible Battery Box - The battery box has been designed so that you can now fit either common LiPo receiver packs or LiIon receiver packs
