With a championship-winning tradition Team Losi Racing have released another thoroughbred racer that is sure to live up to its predecessors. The 8IGHT-XT Next Generation Truggy has an updated drivetrain and suspension geometry plus a new chassis layout making it easier to drive and a pleasure to race.
Features
- Suspension flex is now tuneable with all new suspension arms able to accept stiffener plates
- Suspension geometry has been improved
- Hard anodized 3mm wide 7075 T-6 aluminium chassis
- Build time of 3-5 hours
- Increased durability from larger pinion bearing in front and rear
- Electric or nitro running items all included in the one box
- Improved stability and steering from the cab forward body design style that increases downforce
- For nitro set-ups there is a flex reducing large engine mount that eliminates chassis fatigue on high traction race surfaces
- Easily adjustable pinion sizing on the one-piece aluminium motor mount for electric motors
- Adjustable spindle height from 17.5 deg castor blocks
- Threaded bleeder holes on machined aluminium shock caps ensuring consistent and easy bleeding of oil
- Better driving balance with weight moved forward in the chassis
- Altered front and rear diff case allowing easier differential access without the need to remove bulkheads
- New chassis side guards designed for an even better fit to the chassis body
- Steering rack has been redesigned to allow increased Ackerman adjustments plus an improved servo saver eliminates bell crank bins occurring when under high loads
- 7075-T6 machined aluminium shock towers have been redesigned with updated camber link holes
- Modified centre driveshaft angles placed equally front to rear giving more of a 4WD feel
- Radio tray has been updated and battery box is LiPo/Li-ion compatible
- Lightened shocks have been optimized and give a decreased centre of gravity and lowered the weight to the car
- Adjustable length links on the new sway bar system enable improved equalization of each side of the sway bar as well as centring collars to keep sway bar positions optimised
- Very even throttle/brake feel on the actuator with ball bearings used to smooth out acceleration/deceleration
- Agile handling and superb grip from shorter wheelbase
- Large bearing spindles and carriers
