1/8 8IGHT-T 2.0 4WD Truggy Race Roller
|
|
 |
Improving on the 8IGHT-T’s original steering design was a
difficult task, but the engineers at Team Losi Racing have
managed to increase the consistency of the servo saver’s
operation by further tweaking the steering geometry.
Additional gains in steering precision were made by
incorporating a pressed-steel bushing in the Ackermann brace
for more freedom in the range of motion. |
 |
Heavy-Duty Front and Rear Brake Disks for balanced braking,
Team Losi Racing designed 30mm front and 33mm rear
heavy-duty brake discs that greatly impove brake feel and
cooling. The heavy-duty design and construction ensures that
you can accelerate further into corners before having to
brake, allowing for faster lap times and quicker exits from
the corner. |
 |
All suspension arms on the 8IGHT-T 2.0 have been extended a
full15mm for a wider, more stable base that maintains
outstanding handling over any terrain. The extended width
also allows for more stable entry into and exit from the
corners, cutting valuable seconds off your lap times.
Zero-Offset wheels were designed to keep the overall width
within race guidelines while increasing handling. |
 |
The alloy shock towers on the 8IGHT-T 2.0 have been
strengthened and lightened at the same time. By optimizing
the design for rigidity, Team Losi Racing engineers were
able to reduce the weight for better on-track performance
without sacrificing handling or strength. |
 |
The suspension on the 8IGHT-T 2.0 features numerous shock
mounting locations for several options in adjusting the
suspension setup. The front carrier also features two camber
link positions while the rear has four, allowing for even
greater customization to varying track conditions. The
updated suspension includes the use of 20mm longer rear
shocks, extending the amount of suspension travel. |
 |
The radio tray on the 8IGHT-T 2.0 has been revised and
reengineered to optimize the position of the servos,
increasing response and reducing stress on the throttle
servo at the same time. This design allows for increased
precision from the throttle servo without added weight. |
 |
Every second counts on race day, and fast fuel fills are
crucial to getting back in the race. With a new, Sure-Close
fuel tank design, the tank lid is designed for automatic,
positive closure each time, preventing air from getting in
the fuel system or affecting performance. |

Overview
Boasting user-friendly, track-tested tuning setups from top Losi
racers the 1/8-scale nitro powered 8IGHT-T 2.0 Truggy Race Roller is
professionally dialed and assembled in a race-ready configuration.
The 8IGHT-T 2.0 builds upon the innovation of its predecessor by
offering 37 newly engineered features and design elements.
The 8IGHT-T 2.0 Race Roller is built on an extended-length Tuned
Flex Technology (TFT) 2.0 chassis (14mm longer) which offers added
stability and handling across all track conditions. This increased
stability gives the 8IGHT-T 2.0 Race Roller the ability to carry
more speed into and out of corners, and to glide across washboard
sections with ease. Tuned Flex Technology also provides significant
handling gains by responding precisely to changes in terrain without
sacrificing balance and grip.
The 8IGHT-T 2.0 Race Roller includes updated steering geometry which
features a servo saver with increased consistency. Additional gains
in steering precision were made by incorporating a pressed-steel
bushing in the Ackerman brace, which reduces friction over the
entire range of motion. With the increased horsepower demands of
1/8-scale truggy racing, Team Losi Racing reengineered the dogbones
and outdrives of the 8IGHT-T 2.0 Race Roller to stand up to the
abuse associated with serious off-road competition.
For balanced braking, Team Losi Racing designed 30mm front and 33mm
rear heavy-duty brake discs that greatly improve brake feel and
cooling. The heavy-duty design and construction ensures that you can
accelerate further into corners before having to brake, allowing for
faster lap times and quicker exits from the corner.
The alloy shock towers on the 8IGHT-T 2.0 Race Roller have been
strengthened and lightened for better on-track performance without
sacrificing handling or strength. The suspension on the 8IGHT-T 2.0
Race Roller features numerous shock mounting locations for several
options in adjusting the suspension setup. The front carrier also
features two camber link positions while the rear has four, allowing
for even greater customization to varying track conditions. The
updated suspension includes the use of 15mm longer front shocks and
20mm longer rear shocks, extending the amount of suspension travel
for increased handling capabilities on even the roughest of tracks.
Utilizing results from worldwide competitions, the 8IGHT-T 2.0 Race
Roller includes a 50T center spur gear designed to provide the
perfect gear ratio for truggy racing. Combined with the numerous
advancements and updates to the vehicle overall, the result is an
even more dominant performance on any track and in any condition.
A revised radio tray on the 8IGHT-T 2.0 Race Roller optimizes the
position of the servos, while increasing response time and reducing
stress on the throttle servo. This design also allows for increased
precision from the throttle servo while reducing weight. The
sure-close fuel tank ensures automatic, positive closure and
prevents air from entering the fuel system.
All suspension arms on the 8IGHT-T 2.0 Race Roller have been
extended a full 15mm for a wider, more stable base that maintains
outstanding handling over any terrain. The extended width also
allows for more stable entry into and exit from the corners, cutting
valuable seconds off your lap times. Zero-Offset wheels were
designed to keep the overall width within race guidelines while
still offering incredible handling improvement. The 8IGHT-T 2.0 Race
Roller also features an updated body design that increases air flow
to the engine cooling head for improved engine performance.
