LOSI 1/8 8IGHT 2.0 Buggy Race Roller

The 1/8 8IGHT 2.0 Buggy Race Roller features over thirty enhancements to the revolutionary 8IGHT. Improvements include a longer chassis with Tuned Flex Technology, lightened shock towers, a sure-close fuel tank, heavy duty dogbones and outdrives, a new rear hub design and more. At the 2008 IFMAR 1/8 Buggy World Championships the 8IGHT 2.0 Buggy proved to be the fastest buggy in qualifying taking Top Qualifying honors.

New Rear Hub Design

The 8IGHT 2.0 features a new rear hub design that incorporates a new inner camber link, a revised shock tower with simplified camber locations and the durability of 3.5mm outer rear hinge pins.

New Chassis with Tuned Flex Technology (TFT)

The 8IGHT 2.0 chassis has been extended an additional 2mm, offering added stability and handling across all track conditions. This offers the 8IGHT 2.0 the ability to carry more speed into and out of corners, and to glide across washboard sections with ease. Tuned Flex Technology also provides significant handling gains by responding precisely to changes in terrain without sacrificing balance and grip. Team Losi Racing has also added laser etched lines to ensure perfect motor alignment

Revised Radio Tray Design

The radio tray on the 8IGHT 2.0 has been revised and reengineered to optimize the position of the servos, increasing response and reducing stress on the throttle servo at the same time. This design allows for increased precision from the throttle servo without added weight.

Precision Steering Geometry and Servo Saver

Improving on the 8IGHTs original steering design was a difficult task, but the engineers at Team Losi Racing have managed to increase the consistency of the servo savers operation by further tweaking the steering geometry. Additional gains in steering precision were made by incorporating a new, pressed-steel bushing in the Ackermann brace for reducing friction over the entire range of motion.

Sure-Close Fuel Tank

Every second counts on race day, and fast fuel fills are crucial to getting back in the race. With a new, sure-close fuel tank design, the tank lid is designed for automatic, positive closure each time, preventing air from getting in the fuel system and affecting performance.

Lightened Shock Towers

The high-quality 7075 aluminum shock towers on the 8IGHT 2.0 have been strengthened and lightened at the same time. By optimizing the design for rigidity, Team Losi Racing engineers were able to reduce the weight for improved on-track performance without sacrificing handling or strength.
