TLR 8ight-E 3.0 8th electric buggy

Following on from the success of the TLR 8ight 3.0 buggy, the new TLR 8ight-E 3.0 has been developed to meet the specific requirements of the electric 1/8 buggy racer and features many specific design cues that further optimise the 8ight platform and hone it for the specific rigours of electric racing. The 4mm 7075-T6 hard anodised chassis has been optimised for equal lateral flex characteristics and facilitates the lowest possible mounting of the motor and cells thus lowering the overall centre of gravity to improve handling and direction change. Motor and cell placement now resembles the layout used on the SCTE 2.0 SC truck. Other features included in the new kit are 16mm shock absorbers, aluminium suspension pivots and redesigned shock towers with optimised camber link and shock mounting positions. The kit is topped off by a new aero package that makes use of the experience gained with the 8ight 3.0 nitro buggy and includes a wing with wickerbill option and a new aggressively styled body shell with large shark fin.

They sport an updated design over the previous version and now feature four mounting positions for the outer camber rod ball stud instead of five.

Avid TLR 22 slotted battery bulkhead

The TLR 22 slotted battery bulkhead from Avid allows to run never before available battery locations on the 22 platform buggies and trucks. For racers running the shorty pack, the battery can be moved forward an additional +15mm versus a fixed position of +10mm with the TLR brand aluminium tray. This super-forward position makes the rear end more predictable as grip increases. The part comes CNC-machined from aluminium, sports laser etched markings, weights 7g and it fits any TLR 22, 22T, or 22 SCT.
