THE ICONIC 8IGHT IS BACK WITH PERFORMANCE RACERS RESPECT - LOS04018 - 1/8 RACING BUGGY

You’ve dreamed it a million times. It’s race day, and time for your main event. Transmitter in hand, you walk up to join the other competitors on the drivers stand.
You put your buggy through inspection and know it’s in peak form. Now, you silently run through your personal checklist to make sure you’re mentally ready for what’s ahead. You replay the qualifying heats that brought you here. What went right. What didn’t. What you can change that will help you eliminate mistakes and drive more consistently.
Just for an instant, you picture yourself on the podium - smiling for the cameras, with your Losi 8IGHT-XE in one hand and your new trophy in the other.
Then, suddenly, the starting tone sounds and you’re full pin, wide open, sprinting for the hole shot to stay in front for the duration. Only this time, it’s not a dream.

We need a mini 8ight in the future too 🫣🫣

[@LyroLife]

Losi is officially back in the game. Now that’s gonna be interesting.

[@madsrcbuggy]

I'm loving the abundance of neon yellow, what a cool looking buggy!

[@dirtysoufracing6029]

Just need mini one now

[@johnc7753]

10000% this

[@LyroLife]

We might see a competition 10 scale buggy kit soon.

[@lyricofwise6894]

Does the minib count?

[@johnc7753]

@@lyricofwise6894 heck no. The Mini 8ight needs to return

This is probably the closest Losi has been in a while to their glory days of rtr's. This reminds me of the original 8ight race roller releases.

[@rockyfortenberry5845]

Now we just need a rtr truggy losi!! Come on bring us something this summer still please!

[@DavidFernandez-sc5ws]

Genius idea. You can upgrade with the kit version parts and eventually have a high end race proven race buggy

[@PaddyPatrone]

Probably cheaper to get the racekit in the first place.

[@DavidFernandez-sc5ws]

@@PaddyPatrone in the end yes of course. But with buying this I can get on track immediately and just upgrade as I go

[@zknozkno]

@@PaddyPatronewhats the race kit? is that something they sell

[@spacedog504]

@@zknozkno The kit is just the buggy parts in a box. You put it together and select the electronics separately to complete your build. The parts in the box are a bit higher quality than what they will ship with the RTR kit. But for a beginner an RTR is really a no brainer. Buy the RTR and you will eventually start replacing and upgrading stuff as you go naturally. R/C racing is niche so spending almost 2 grand on a race setup is kinda stupid if you don't really wind up using it all that much.

[@ajjackson5511]

I have the XE Elite and I love it!

[@electricnitrorc]

This looks awesome 👍😁

[@longboardguy]

Well this looks like a cool release for some track and backyard racing fun. I’ve preordered mine! I also like that even though it’s RTR, the body is masked and unpainted leaving the final main colour up to the owner. That’s a cool feature to offer. I haven’t decided what colour I’ll go with yet.

[@peteyfpv2217]

When is the truggy coming ?

[@StevenGilbert88]

now

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Remember the losi inspired tag lol 👍

[@Randotrophys]

Mini Baja Rey for the win

[@Randotrophys]

Still great product

[@always_prepping]

Where is the Mini 8ight 2.0???

[@GroundSwellRacing]

But can you get parts for it?

[@Luke-en2tk]

You own Proline who make airbrush paint yet you use Tamiya paint in the video, a rather unusual marketing strategy 😂

[@longboardguy]

Ya true but Tamiya paint is some of the best lexan paint out there!

[@1980VINZ]

@@longboardguyDid you understand the comment ???????🤦‍♂️

[@longboardguy]

@@1980VINZ duh. I’m saying they used Tamiya Paint regardless of marketing because it’s good stuff. You might need reading comprehension 🥴

[@INSIDIOUS-ONE]

Damn it! Wish I would have seen this a week ago before buying the TLR TUNED ARRMA!! I would way of rather had this!!😢

[@lyricofwise6894]

Wonder how this would compare with the arrma tlr tuned typhon

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

I’m going see but typhon so beyond TLR I’m out those plastic things 😂 I have a lot time with that RC chassis fully scratched and diff is had enough ,

[@rockyfortenberry5845]

Pretty much the same in comparison.

[@1980VINZ]

LOSI, GET OUT OF HORIZONHOBBY !!!! THEY ARE KILLING YOU

[@rockyfortenberry5845]

Unfortunately losi can’t because Horizon bought them out.

[@1980VINZ]

@@rockyfortenberry5845 I know mate.......... I know....... In Europe HorizonHobby is TERRIBLE, when you buy a LOSI model, it's quite impossible to find spare parts less than one year after the release on market........ Plus HH services are absolutely CATASTROPHICS here...
Anyway...
I wish HH to have very big success with ARRMA news models AND THEN FULLY SUPPORT THE OTHER BRANDS........
I even don't know what's the most successful for HH, air? surface? water?

[@grantbonilla6471]

Bring back the Sct plz

[@mr33spitnbarz28]

Be fun for about as long as this video… junk

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

Losi don’t make junk
