More Information

The most thrilling and challenging form of RC car competition is 1/8 scale off road buggy racing. The tracks often stretch over 1858 square metres (20000 square feet), with frequent turns, washboard sections, and off camber corners that put the drivers’ abilities to the test. Moving at insane speeds over multiple elevation changes, the cars sometimes leap more than 9 metres (30 feet) in their sprint for the podium.

What does it take to succeed. The driver needs control skill, and a cool head under pressure. The buggy must be adaptable to changing track conditions and personal driving styles. A vehicle that already includes an ideal combination of race proven features such as the right shock package, the best tyre compound and tread, and differentials tuned to put maximum power to the ground offers a good head start toward the win.

That is exactly what you get with the ready to run Losi 8IGHT XE 1/8 Scale 4WD Racing Buggy. Based on the back to back ROAR National Champion TLR 8IGHT X platform, it is loaded with engineering that is proven to win races. The sensored brushless power system, race legal chassis and electronics, full metal driveline, competition calibre Spektrum S665 steering servo, and other standard features are enough to get any racer’s adrenaline pumping even before the starting tone.

The Losi 8IGHT XE also delivers serious bang for your buck. To enter 1/8 scale competition with a buggy this well equipped, you would normally have to spend 650 dollars or more on a kit, add about 600 dollars worth of carefully chosen electronics, and then put it all together yourself after investing in tools and learning the required assembly skills. Before joining the races with the ready to run 8IGHT XE, you just paint its cab forward body in your signature colour and charge up your choice of the recommended batteries.

Its on track performance is as aggressive as a nitro machine but with the simplicity of electric power. Keep a second charged 4S LiPo battery on hand and you will be in and out of the pits in an instant. Because top of the line TLR option parts are directly compatible, you can easily upgrade your Losi 8IGHT XE into an absolutely indomitable buggy as your skills grow. If you are a technically minded, competitive type in search of a long term hobby you will love, look no further. Dive into 1/8 scale racing with the 8IGHT XE and you will also learn about suspension dynamics and other topics that carry over into full scale racing.

Ultimately, RC racing is about more than winning. It is being part of a team, travelling to events, sharing set ups, and supporting each other in the pit lane. To get there, start here with the Losi 8IGHT XE 4WD. The fully assembled, ready to run 1/8 scale buggy comes with a Spektrum DX3 radio and requires only a 4S LiPo battery and compatible charger.
