The Losi 8IGHT-XE 4WD 1:8 Racing Buggy RTR RC model car is based on the ROAR National Champion TLR 8IGHT-X platform, so you can use it directly for 1:8 buggy racing. With a Spektrum 2200Kv sensor AC motor and a Spektrum Firma 130A AC controller, it has the super aggressive power needed to win! Metal tuning components ensure high durability and durability in a demanding racing environment. For control, you have a Spektrum DX3 2.4GHz transmitter, a Spektrum SR315 receiver and a Spektrum S665 digital powerful waterproof servo control.
The most exciting and challenging form of RC car competition is 1:8 off-road buggy racing. The tracks are long, full of turns and jumps that test the skills of the drivers. Buggies must be adaptable to changing track conditions and driving style. The 8IGHT-XE features an ideal combination of racing features such as the correct set of shock absorbers, the best mix of tires, tread and differentials that are tuned to deliver maximum performance. The model's sensor AC power system, racing chassis and electronics, all-metal drivetrain, powerful Spektrum S665 digital servo control and other standard features are designed to hold your own against tough competition.
Before taking the 8IGHT-XE to the races, just paint the body with your signature color and charge the recommended 4S LiPol 50C+ battery of your choice. Because TLR's top-of-the-line optional parts are directly compatible, you can easily upgrade your Losi 8IGHT-XE to an absolutely formidable buggy as your skills continue to grow. If you're the technically minded competitive type, the Losi 8IGHT-XE 4WD 1:8 Racing Buggy might be the right choice for you.
If you want to win, learn how it all works. Gain experience on the track and in the backcountry, learn to work with the car and learn from others in the team. The Losi 8IGHT-XE is ready to introduce you to the world of racing and racers and give you the basic experience. Fully assembled 1:8 car with RC kit, only requires 4S LiPol battery and compatible charger to be added. Give the body your characteristic color to stand out from other cars.
Thanks to the sensor AC drive, the speed and position of the rotor in the engine are constantly sensed and the regulator evaluates them for absolutely accurate throttle control in a wide range of speeds and maximum use of power.
Using a 4S LiPo battery, the installed Spektrum 2200Kv AC motor produces more than enough power to pump up any racer's adrenaline.
The transmitter provides all the important settings for running the model, such as throttle and steering trim, reverse settings, etc. In addition, the throttle limit function allows novice racers to limit the buggy's top speed to 50% or 75%. Furthermore, a practical LED indication of the state of charge of the Smart drive batteries in the model is available.
The Losi 8IGHT-XE 4WD is based on the platform used by pro racers on the National Champion ROAR TLR 8IGHT-X. When you're ready, you can upgrade the model and use TLR tuning parts to increase durability and performance.
You won't have to modify the chassis or change its electronics to start racing. The model is fully ready, just charge the 4S LiPo battery (battery sold separately)!
The model comes with a clear body, which you can color according to your own imagination or your characteristic preferences. No one else on the track will have a racing buggy that looks like yours!
The installed waterproof* Spektrum S665 servo can easily handle the demands of racing, thanks to all-metal gears, high torque of 20 kg.cm@7.4 V and speed of 0.1 s/60°. A mil is 25T (teeth).
The new generation SR315 DSMR Sport receiver in micro design weighs only 6g. Choice of SmartSafe™ or "Gas" Failsafe, push button pairing. DSMR technology ensures full range and fast response of the receiver. Secure DSMR modulation protocol and high frame rate of 5.5ms. Compatible with SMART telemetry.
The 4mm thick aluminum chassis plate gives the Losi 8IGHT-XE a solid and stable base along with the durability needed for long competition days.
Individual drivetrain components such as driveshafts, differential gears and center shafts are made from high-strength hardened steel for long-lasting performance without compromise.
Front, center and rear differentials allow each wheel to provide maximum racing traction. You can tune the differentials with different viscosity oils to adapt the Losi 8IGHT-XE to different tracks and conditions.
The design of the Losi 8IGHT-XE 4WD allows you to quickly remove differentials and other components for easy maintenance and tuning on the track.
Lightweight and strong aluminum shock towers have multiple mounting holes pre-drilled for easy change of shock mount settings.
Aluminum shock absorbers are filled with oil for excellent driving characteristics. Like differentials, shock absorbers can be tuned using different oils or springs. There is an adjustment nut on the damper body for easy spring preload adjustment.
Front and rear anti-roll bars are standard on the Losi 8IGHT-XE to keep your chassis level with the track as you corner.
The wing mount can be adjusted as needed to optimize downforce and improve grip on any track.
Adjustable steel couplers allow you to tune the camber and toe-in of the wheels to change the driving characteristics of the Losi 8IGHT-XE.
* Refer to the user manual for information on the water resistance specification. You can find tips and tricks for operating in wet conditions in the blog.
For commissioning, it is necessary to add a drive battery and an adequate charger for the drive battery.
Run the model on a 4S LiPo battery (14.8V).
Spektrum batteries with Smart technology currently represent the most modern and safest way to maintain and charge batteries. The benefits of Spektrum Smart technology can be found here.
Smart G2 batteries are even simpler and safer, thanks to the absence of a balance connector. In addition, G2 batteries have up to 3x faster automatic discharge into storage mode. Smart G2 batteries can only be charged on Spektrum Smart and Smart G2 chargers.
Spektrum Smart chargers can charge both Smart and Smart G2 batteries as well as conventional batteries. Previously sold Smart chargers also support Smart G2 after updating.
For the operation of the model, we recommend the Spektrum DX5C or DX5 Rugged universal transmitter as tuning, which has the following advantages compared to the included set transmitter:
For normal operation of Losi RC cars, you need screw glue, good quality tire glue, silicone oil for shock absorbers and a set of screwdrivers. From our assortment, we recommend an affordable set of tools for cars or a high-quality Allen screwdriver set 1.5/2.0/2.5/3.0mm. We recommend viewing the Tool Kits
The thread or head of the screw is dripped with screw glue, which fixes it and the vibrations caused by driving prevent the screw joint from loosening. The screw adhesive has a special composition that allows the screw connection to be easily loosened with an adequate torque without damaging the screw head. Never use ordinary instant glue, it might be impossible to loosen a screw stuck like this!
Tire glue is used to glue the tires to the disc rim. It is always necessary that the tire is firmly stuck to the wheel rim all the way around! If the tire is not glued all the way around, it may tear. Tire glue has a special composition that is able to glue materials such as rubber or nylon, and at the same time, after hardening, the glue is flexible. Never use ordinary instant glue - it is not flexible after hardening and cracks would gradually form in the tire around the rims!
Sometimes it is necessary to add silicone oil to the dampers of the model. During normal operation, there are only slight leaks of silicone oil on the piston rods of the shock absorber. In the event that the surface of the damper pistons or the condition of the seals is in poor condition, the oil leakage may be large. So-called repair kits are supplied for these cases. In the range of tuning parts, piston rods with an extremely hard TiN (titanium nitride) coating are delivered to all shock absorbers. Piston rods with a TiN surface are easily recognized by their golden-green color.
