Overview

Beginning with the blueprints for the world’s most innovative race buggy, Team Losi set out to design a true competition Truggy that would continue the 8IGHT legacy. Created with passion and perfected by obsession, the 8IGHT-T will redefine Truggy racing with what might be called an unfair advantage. The 8IGHT-T Race Roller is the first competition-level, performance-built truggy based on Team Losi’s ground-breaking 4WD nitro platform. The Team Losi 8IGHT-T features the centrally mounted motor, oversized shocks, ultra-narrow chassis configuration, 4-shoe clutch and many more ingenious features that yield both performance and durability you can’t find in other truggy designs.

And Team Losi has gone one step further, offering this innovative new race chassis pre-built and pro-tuned. Using track-tested tuning setups from top nitro racers, the Truggy is professionally dialed and assembled in a race-ready configuration. All you have to add is an engine and radio system, then take the track by storm. The 8IGHT-T brings the latest high-tech components and pro-level race parts to the truggy class, complete with a long list of features that are only available as options on other trucks. The revolutionary drivetrain, meticulous attention to detail and brilliant design are simply unmatched. The 8IGHT-T offers the enthusiast a 21st century off-road racer that is easy to tune, easy to maintain, and most of all easy to drive fast.

Prebuilt?

Looks nice though.

I was thinkin I might have to take part in this new FOM. Not sure,it does look sweet,and I never have been a Losi guy.
When is it to come out?

It looks good, I saw it in person at the Pro Series yesterday
Im wondering how good it will drive, we'll just have to wait and see.

I know Im set/invested for awhile though with my Kyosho's.
I still love the way my ST-R drives, so Im just going to keep working on my driving and setups for the next year to come.

heres some close ups I saw of it at the pro series expo yesterday

ETA is for 12/18
