Team Losi 8IGHT Rallycross Buggy

Due to the popularity of the 1:8th off road class the number of buggies available is enormous, just about every manufacturer has peered over the shoulder of the competition and released their own car. Now take a close look at this mass of cars……can you really tell them apart?? Lets face it, chassis layout hasn’t differed for many a year, all have similar suspension packages, all with the transmission running straight down the centre. The consequence of this layout is that the engine, one of the heaviest and most critical components of any gas buggy, is left hanging out to one side! Obviously this seriously compromises the centre of gravity within the chassis and means that a good balance can be hard to achieve. So does anybody out there want just another 1:8th buggy? Neither do we……….……enter the Team Losi 8IGHT!!

The Team Losi 8IGHT redefines 1:8th off-road nitro buggy racing with the first new and unique buggy design in over 10 years. The 8IGHT uses the same innovative thinking, sophisticated technology, hi-tech materials, and cutting-edge design that has separated Team Losi's racing vehicles from the rest of the pack for over 25 years. The look is different, the handling has been vastly improved, and the features are endless. The engine now sits smack in the middle of the chassis thanks to the revolutionary drivetrain that runs around the engine with a super smooth constant velocity joint system. This gives the 8IGHT the best weight distribution of any gas buggy out there!
