SENSORED BRUSHLESS SYSTEM
The Losi 8IGHT-XE 4WD’s sensored brushless system allows its 130A ESC and 2200Kv motor to communicate with each other for a smooth power band and precise racing control.
SPEKTRUM 2200Kv BRUSHLESS MOTOR
With a 4S LiPo battery, the installed Spektrum 2200Kv brushless motor produces more than enough raw power to get every racer’s adrenaline pumping.
SPEKTRUM DX3 TRANSMITTER
The throttle limiting function on the included Spektrum DX3 2.4GHz transmitter lets novice racers limit the buggy’s top speed to 50% or 75% of its full potential until they’re ready to unleash it all. You can follow how much battery capacity is available on the transmitter’s Smart battery level indicator.
CHAMPIONSHIP-WINNING HERITAGE
The ready-to-run Losi 8IGHT-XE 4WD is based on a platform that pro 1/8 scale racers use to win — the back-to-back ROAR National Champion TLR 8IGHT-X. When you’re ready to upgrade, use TLR option parts to take its performance to the next level.
FULLY RACE-LEGAL CHASSIS & ELECTRONICS
You won’t have to modify the ready-to-run 8IGHT-XE 4WD or replace its included electronics in order to be legal for racing. Just charge up your 4S LiPo batteries and start racing today!
PAINT-TO-COMPLETE CAB-FORWARD BODY
Not only is the 8IGHT-XE 4WD based on the same 1/8 scale platform that racers use, but its main body section is left clear to paint in your own signature color. No one else on the track will have a racing buggy that looks like yours! RC Body Paint (not included).
SPEKTRUM S665 STEERING SERVO
The installed Spektrum S665 waterproof steering servo easily handles the demands of 1/8 scale racing with full metal gears, high torque (over 270 oz-in @ 7.4V), and a fast 0.10 second transit time. It also features an industry-standard 25T spline servo horn.
RACE-READY SPEKTRUM SR315 RECEIVER
When you want more precision from your electronics, there’s no need to install another receiver. The Spektrum SR315 lets you take advantage of Smart technology. With a transmitter upgrade and the SR315, you can also use forward programming to tune your on-board electronics wirelessly.
ALUMINUM CHASSIS
The Losi 8IGHT-XE 4WD’s 4mm thick aluminum chassis gives the buggy a strong, stable foundation, along with the durability needed to stay tough through long days of competitive racing.
FULL METAL DRIVELINE
From the axles to the ring and pinion and main center spur gear, every part of the 8IGHT-XE 4WD’s driveline is made of heat-treated steel to survive abuse at demanding tracks throughout the world.
FLUID-FILLED & SEALED DIFFERENTIALS
The front, center, and rear differentials allow each tire to drive independently and deliver maximum racing traction. You can tune the differentials with TLR silicone diff fluids (available separately) to adapt the Losi 8IGHT-XE to different tracks and conditions.
EASY ACCESS DIFFERENTIALS
The design of the Losi 8IGHT-XE 4WD lets you remove the differentials quickly for easy trackside maintenance and tuning.
ALUMINUM SHOCK TOWERS
Lightweight and strong, these aluminum shock towers support the shock movement needed to keep your 8IGHT-XE 4WD glued to the track. Use the tuning holes to adjust shock position to match the race track and your driving style.
ALUMINUM OIL-FILLED SHOCKS
The aluminum oil-filled shocks are threaded for easy ride height adjustments after your warm-up laps. They can also be tuned using different springs and shock oils to adjust your suspension dynamics.
FRONT & REAR SWAY BARS
Front and rear sway bars are standard on the Losi 8IGHT-XE to keep your chassis level with the track as you race through the corners.
ADJUSTABLE WING MOUNT
The wing mount can be adjusted as needed to optimize downforce and improve your grip on any track.
ADJUSTABLE STEEL TURNBUCKLES
Adjustable steel turnbuckles let you tune camber and toe to change the Losi 8IGHT-XE handling characteristics.
