Losi have released this Tuned Flex Technology Chassis for the popular 8ight-T truggy, having been previously available for the 8ight buggy. It has been milled at exact points to give more flex to the chassis while not sacrificing chassis flex at the gear mesh, which greatly improved overall traction and stability on all track surfaces and has been vigorously tested worldwide by Losi drivers Adam Drake, Mike Truhe and Yannick Aigoin. This lighter chassis will reduce the vehicle’s overall weight to provide increased acceleration and better handling.

Also new from Pro Line are the Velocity V2 wheels, that are Larger in diameter and width than previous wheels to give your car more traction and stability. The V2’s are 1.3mm wider and 3mm taller than the traditional size 1:8 wheels, which transfers into a stiffer side wall for less side wall flex enhancing stability and connectivity with your 1:8 buggy. This is achieved by using the same size 1:8 tires that you use now. Simply stretch standard tires over the V2 wheels and you’re ready to go. Additional features include an integrated hot runner system when the wheel is produced, which allows the wheel to be moulded to the tightest of tolerances and the ultimate in trueness.
