Revised Suspension Geometry: New suspension geometry makes it easier for drivers of all experience levels to turn faster lap times with fewer mistakes, particularly during brutal, hour-long mains.
Optimized Drivetrain Layout: The engine has been re-positioned to reduce front driveshaft angle so more power makes it to the front wheels.
Ball Bearing Actuators: The revised throttle actuator now uses bearings to further improve throttle and brake response. It also features a new brace that prevents flexing during heavy braking.
Large Bearing Spindles and Hubs: Front spindles and rear hubs have been revised to accept a larger 8 x 16 x 5 outer bearing for increased durability.
Revised Chassis Side Guards: The chassis side guards have been updated for a better fit. They also feature indentations for the Velcro body strips.
Large-Footprint Engine Mount: In addition to its new position, the engine mount has been designed with a larger footprint that substantially reduces chassis flex and fatigue underneath the engine when racing on high-grip tracks.
Adjustable Caster Blocks: The adjustable, 15-degree caster blocks make it possible to tune dog bone plunge by changing the height of the spindle.
New Bleeder Shock Caps and Seals: The new bleeder shock caps and internal seals allow for easier rebuilds while using an emulsion shock setup. New bushings that press into the shock cap further improve durability.
Driveshaft and Dog Bone Boots: Molded rubber boots on the universals and center drivetrain dog bones increase U- joint life by holding lubrication in and keeping dirt out.
Redesigned Shock Towers: The machined aluminum shock towers have new camber link and shock location holes that give racers more tuning options for changing track conditions.
Weight Ballast-Ready: The chassis has been designed to accommodate hard-mount ballast weights so it is easier to meet the ROAR minimum weight requirement.
Cab-Forward Body: The cab-forward body moves aerodynamic pressure further forward on the car, which improves steering.
Losi Screw / Nut Assortment Box
This the Losi 8IGHT Screw/ Nut Assortment Box. The smallest things often cause the biggest problems. Losi’s new 8IGHT hardware assortment eliminates a lot of those “little” things in the most convenient and economical manner. Although all of the hardware used on the 8IGHT and 8IGHT-T is available separately it never fails a part is needed here and there. Since we all know you can never have enough spare hardware, Losi has put together a comprehensive assortment. This includes a total of 175 pieces including cap screws, nuts, washers, shims, e-clips, and set screws all packaged in a divided plastic case to keep them all organized. Every 8IGHT user will find this assortment a life saver the next time they are miles from the nearest hobby shop and they loose that screw or whatever in the dirt.
