There is nothing wrong with the 8ight series. Especially if it is the Pro kit version. Both are good however. They balance hella nice off jumps and a couple different brands make conversion kits just for them.

The biggest advantage is it's LOSI. Can't go wrong.

Yeah, you getting the pro version or the rtr one?

 

[rollinlow]

I'm not sure which one it is but its used and rtr
not sure if it started life as a pro or rtr

The Only issue is the outer hingepins in the rear. Either get the M2C ones, or the new 2.0 buggy ones. You'll need a drill bit for the last one. Can't remember if it's 3 or 3,5mm though. The stock ones bend very easily.

And You need to setup the throttle EPA's very precisely and make sure there's a bit of play in the throttle barrel when at WOT, so the servo isn't overworked when the chassis flexes. And trust me, the 8ight-T handles best, when the chassis can flex.

I've had mine for nearly two years, and I love it. I may go with a 2.0 next season.

Are the Sportwerks 17mm wheel hex nuts the same thread as my Losi 8ight? There's some nice covered ones for sale but I want to make sure they're going to fit first. I know Losi makes covered wheel nuts, but they are $$$!
