Losi 8ight-T 1/8th nitro RTR truggy

Losi have introduced their new 8ight-T 1/8th scale nitro ready-to-run truggy. Based off of the multiple ROAR nationals winning TLR 8ight platform the vehicles comes factory-assembled and equipped with high-quality components. It makes use of a shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain with three fluid-filled gear differentials, front universal driveshafts and it utilises a suspension with pre-set geometry thanks to fixed-length camber and steering suspension links. Adjustable 15mm oil-filled shock absorbers soak up even the roughest of terrain and a Dynamite .28 pull-starter engine delivers loads of oomph. The truggy is rounded out by waterproof Spektrum metal gear servos, a Dynamite 1600mAh receiver battery and a Spektrum DX2E 2.4GHz radio system as well as a pre-painted bodyshell and pre-glued tyres.
