Losi 8ight Smart Differential

Losi have released a patent pending differential that knows exactly how to respond to track conditions and throttle input. Losi’s innovative custom SmartDiff design adjusts the amount of lock based on throttle position for optimum power transfer into and out of corners. The results are improved maneuverability, increased off-power steering and outstanding acceleration. The SmartDiff makes an easy, drop-in hop-up for every 8ight buggy vehicle, with versions suitable for the 8ight T also released. The SmartDiff replaces the stock diffs on the 8ight without any additional modification required and is fully assembled and ready for immediate installation.
