1/8 8IGHT-E 4WD Buggy Race Roller
At a Glance
Losi's 1/8-scale 8IGHT-E 4WD Buggy Race Roller combines the innovative design and technology of Losi's award-winning 8IGHT Competition Buggy Chassis with the fierce torque and speed of Losi’s 1/8-scale Xcelorin Brushless Systems.
The 8IGHT-E Race Roller is a competition buggy chassis that has been hand assembled and tuned to exact specifications. Each and every screw is installed to specific torque settings to maintain consistent construction. Additionally, every screw or bolt that secures metal-to-metal contact features thread lock to prevent backing out or loosening due to vibration. The differentials and shocks are pre-built and filled with 100% pure silicone fluid.
The 8IGHT-E Race Roller features Losi’s superior 1/8-scale Xcelorin Sensorless Brushless Power System. The fully programmable, high-output electronic speed control (ESC) can handle a 3-5-cell LiPo battery pack, and offers precise throttle and braking control. The 2100Kv brushless motor requires virtually no maintenance, while offering unmatched efficiency and speed designed for 1/8-scale racing. Additionally, the ESC offers tons of programming options, including adjustable throttle limits, selectable user profiles, and much more using the Quick Programming Card or personal pc programming software.
Once assembled, the 8IGHT-E Race Roller is given a complete inspection to ensure that it meets Team Losi Racing’s requirements for durability and performance. You can be sure that your 8IGHT-E Race Roller is ready for serious competition as soon as you open the box.
