Losi 8ight 1/8th nitro RTR buggy

Hot on the heels of Losi’s 8ight-T RTR truggy comes the 8ight Nitro RTR buggy. Using a 4mm T6 aluminium main chassis plate as a solid base, the vehicle also utilises the proven 8ight suspension parts of its ROAR nationals winning 8ight race sibling but it comes with pre-set suspension settings thanks to fixed suspension links. A 3-gear shaft-driven drivetain makes for exceptional traction in all track conditions and fluid-filled shock absorbers soak up hard landings and rough terrain. The buggy comes with the Gen II radio tray for longer servo life, front universal driveshafts, anti-roll bars front and rear, a pull-start .21 engine and also including a pre-painted bodyshell and pre-glued high traction tyres.
