The New Team Losi 8IGHT pics and info on their site
COPIED FROM TEAM LOSI'S SITE
8ight 1/8 4WD Competition Buggy Kit Features
Unique narrow chassis configuration for quicker handling and ground clearance
Innovative drivetrain layout with centrally mounted engine
Oversized shocks with threaded hard anodized shock bodies
Centrally located dual stage air cleaner
4mm thick machined and hard anodized aluminum chassis plate
Removable one-piece radio tray with separate boxes for the receiver and battery
Two battery box tops for different size receiver packs
Staggered brake disk sizes for better brake balance and feel
Sealed front and rear differential housings keep dirt out of the gears
Zero bump steer design with adjustable Ackerman
Captured hinge pins require no retaining clips
Machined premium aluminum alloy shock towers
Four shoe easily tuned clutch with oversized inner bearing
Overview
Team Losi is proud to announce the “8IGHT” - the first American designed and produced 1/8 scale nitro powered off-road racing buggy. Like most Team Losi designs it is quite different from the common chassis currently offered. Instead of taking the easy road of producing one of the two predominant chassis/suspension packages as has become the norm, the Losi design team did their homework and started with a clean sheet of paper. The new Team Losi 1/8 buggy uses the same innovative thinking, sophisticated technology, hi-tech materials and cutting edge design that has separated their racing chassis from the rest. The 8IGHT offers a number of truly unique features and design characteristics that provide both improved performance and ease of tuning and maintenance. When you get past the slender racy looks you will find the high quality components and ergonomic design that has long been a Team Losi trademark. The use of advanced composites, exotic alloys, and hi-tech coatings place the 8IGHT in a class by itself.
