You guys have prolly seen this but if you havent,
[LOSA0801] Team Losi 8ight 1/8 4WD Competition Buggy Race Roller
I dont know when its supposed to come out yet but i dont see why you would want that anyways when you could just buy the kit. I understand about the truggy cause theres no kit version at all, but whay have two versions of the same thing? It even costs more than the kit.
it really isnt worth it. they did a few basic up grades to the battery tray top, new paint scheme, and tire tread.

nope, Body: Clear with graphic decals .
ya paint it yourself.
^^ wow...i wonder what exactly warrants the price difference then?!
having some sweatshop full of 10 yr old building them is the price increase
LMAO ^^
It kinda takes the fun out of building a kit.

dont say stuff like that, bruce will come on and tell you how little you know about world economics LOL
alute:
exactly. And you prolly gonna have to tear it down somewhat anyways to change your diff oils, shock oils, and your whole setup, so you may as well just build it from the ground up.
why bother u cant get parts anyway

what r u talkin bout.....parts are all over the place for 8ights
no not all the parts in fact there were guys with the losi at the nats
that ran out of parts for there t's . no diffs = no race
exactly, cant get parts for them, I heard plenty of horror stories from WI this weekend about guys that couldnt get rear diff bearings and a bunch of the other junk parts that wear out in a gallon
hmmm....I have 10 gallons or more on my 8ight and only items I have ever broken are maybe a dozon tie rod ends...I buy my bearings from avid they have everyone I have ever wanted I did strip out a rear pinion gear but that was because I had the spacer in backwards (my fault)...also had 3 servos go out 2 for throttle and 1 for steering...but they were replaced via warranty

wow...im really amazed by this. the only parts that werent readily available for me were the stupid lil plastic covers that capture the hinge pins. that was before i converted it into a pro kit. oh and maybe the upgraded o-ring kit for the shocks.
but other than that, ive never had a problem just walkin into the shop and grabbin what i needed.
I got 2 gallons on my 8ight and haven't replaced anything but the plastic servo horn....
front center driveshaft is decently worn but all my bearings look good.
I agree i dont know what you guys are talking about. I have about 2.5 gallons and only had to change servo horn insert and shock o-rings.
