To be the best, you have to drive the best and the Team Losi Racing® 8IGHT™ platform is second to none. With multiple ROAR national titles and major international wins, the 8IGHT represents a championship-winning heritage. The original 8IGHT took 1/8th-scale racing by storm and now the future of racing is hitting the track - the 8IGHT-X™ 1/8 Nitro Buggy. This is a completely redefined racing platform crafted from the ground up. Designed to be the best of all possible worlds for drivers, it features a new wider chassis, potent drivetrain, and major updates to the suspension package and geometry. Team Losi Racing continues to push the envelope of performance with the 8IGHT-X Buggy. Video Overview

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 kingpin inclination, trailing spindles, wider front pivot with less scrub radius, narrower rear pivot, longer rear shocks, 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 arm. Keep the plates off to provide more flex therefore creating more grip, add the plates to provide less flex and therefore creating less grip. The 8IGHT-X will come standard with molded plates, with optional carbon fiber plates sold separately. Wide Chassis

The 8IGHT-X features a more traditional “wide" style chassis that increases stability, balance and gives the buggy a more neutral feel. This also allows for the component’s to be spread out instead of cramped to together as with a narrow style chassis making maintenance a breeze. Larger Pinion Bearing

The 8IGHT-X features an over-sized pinion bearing in the front and rear of the buggy for increased strength and durability. This allows for a smoother, more reliable and hassle free driveline. Cab Forward Style Body

The body has been completely redesigned on the 8IGHT-x to incorporate the cab-forward styling which creates more downforce on the front of the body. This extra downforce improves forward traction and steering. The rear of the body has been designed to create maximum airflow for less drag, while a center fin keeps the buggy stable at speed. Chassis Side Guards

The chassis side guards have been redesigned to fit the wide chassis and new body with a super clean fit while offering maximum protection from dirt and debris. Large Footprint Engine Mount

The machined aluminum lightweight engine mount has been designed with a large footprint that not only reduces flex underneath the engine, but also eliminates chassis fatigue on high traction race surfaces. The large footprint mount also allows the engine to be removed from the buggy without removing the mount from the buggy or changing gear mesh. Adjustable Castor Blocks

Redesigned and fully adjustable machined aluminum 20 degree castor blocks come standard on the 8IGHT-X. The height of the castor block can be adjusted via aluminum spacers on the kingpin. Optional spindle ackerman arms will be sold separately to allow for even more adjustments and fine tuning. Bleeder Shock Caps

The 8IGHT-X comes standard with machined aluminum shock caps with threaded bleeder screws. Bleeder screws allow you to build and rebuild your shocks faster and easier while insuring you have the exact amount of oil in your shocks every time creating consistent rebound. Chassis Balance

The TLR engineers worked relentlessly to get the perfect balance on the 8IGHT-X by moving components to key locations on the chassis to
