1/8 8IGHT-XTE 4WD Sensored Brushless Racing Truggy RTR

A longer wheelbase, wider track and massive tires ensure that the brushless Losi 8IGHT-XTE Racing Truggy is easier to drive than a buggy and is the ideal introduction to 1:8 scale off-road racing. It is also based on the ROAR National Champion TLR 8IGH

Losi 1/8 8IGHT-XTE 4WD Sensored Brushless Racing Truggy RTR Overview

The most exciting and challenging form of RC car competition is 1/8th scale off-road buggy racing. The race tracks often cover 1800 square meters and feature switchbacks, washboard sections and banked turns that test the drivers' skills. The cars move at insane speeds over multiple elevation changes and sometimes jump more than 10 meters as they sprint for the podium!
If you want to experience the thrill of 1:8 scale off-road racing for yourself, you need a vehicle that can be adapted to the track conditions and your personal driving style. The first choice is a vehicle that already has an ideal combination of race-proven features ? like the right shock package, the best tire compound and tread, and tuned differentials to put maximum power to the ground. Your choice should be the Losi 8IGHT-XTE 4WD Racing Truggy in 1:8 scale.
With generous track width and massive 5.5-inch tires, 1/8th scale truggies can easily race over rough terrain without having to slow down to avoid accidents. They are incredibly fast and robust enough to survive long race tracks on the biggest outdoor tracks in the world.
The Losi 8IGHT-XTE 4WD Racing Truggy fulfills each of these criteria. It is based on the ROAR National Champion TLR 8IGHT-X platform and is packed with technology that is proven to win races. Standard features include a race-approved brushless drive system and a chassis with an all-metal drivetrain and competition-grade Spektrum S665 steering servo with metal gears. And if that's not enough to get your opponents' attention, the truggy's Pro-Line Racing OE-Spec Axis 8IGHT-XTE body, blocking tires and Velocity wheels are the very same race-proven components that are racking up respectable wins in competitions around the world.
The Losi 8IGHT-XTE also offers a convincing price-performance ratio. To race such a well-equipped 1/8th scale truggy, you would normally have to buy a kit, assembly tools and RC equipment ? which would cost 1,600 or more and then invest the time needed to put it all together. You can race the 8IGHT-XTE as soon as you've painted the cab-forward body in your favorite colors and charged the 4S LiPo battery of your choice. Keep a second charged battery on hand and you'll be able to complete pit stops in no time and hit the track with a power delivery as aggressive as a nitro truggy - but with the simplicity of an electric drivetrain.
Optional world-class TLR parts are directly compatible with the 8IGHT-XTE. As your skills grow, you can upgrade your truggy into an indomitable racing machine. Immerse yourself in 1:8 scale racing with the 8IGHT-XTE and also learn about driving dynamics and other topics that can be transferred to full-scale racing.
Ultimately, RC racing is about more than just winning. It's about being part of a team, traveling to events, sharing setups and supporting each other in the pit lane. To get there, start here with the Losi 8IGHT-XTE 4WD. The fully assembled, ready-to-run 1:8 scale race buggy comes with a Spektrum DX3 radio control system and requires only a 4S LiPo battery and a compatible charger.

SPEKTRUM 2250Kv BRUSHLESS MOTOR
With a 4S LiPo battery, the installed Spektrum 2200Kv brushless motor generates more than enough power to give any racer an adrenaline rush.

SPEKTRUM DX3 REMOTE CONTROL
The throttle limit feature on the included Spektrum DX3 2.4GHz transmitter allows inexperienced racers to limit the buggy's top speed to 50% or 75% of full potential until they're ready to unleash the full power. The transmitter's smart battery level indicator lets you see how much battery capacity is left.

GENES OF A CHAMPION
The Ready-to-Run Losi 8IGHT-XTE is based on a platform that professional 1/8th scale racers use to win - the series-winning ROAR Nationals - the TLR 8IGHT-X. When you're ready to upgrade, use optional TLR parts to take performance to the next level.

FULLY RACE-APPROVED CHASSIS AND ELECTRONICS
You don't need to modify the Ready-to-Run 8IGHT-XTE truggy or swap out the included electronics to get race-legal. Simply charge your 4S LiPo batteries and start racing today!

READY-TO-PAINT CAB-FORWARD BODYWORK
Not only is the 8IGHT-XTE based on the same race-proven 1:8 scale platform that pro racers use, but it's also ready for you to paint the main body section in the color of your choice. No one else on the race track will have a race buggy that looks like yours! (RC body color is not included)

SPEKTRUM S665 STEERING SERVO
The installed Spektrum S665 waterproof steering servo easily handles the demands of 1/8th scale racing with all-metal gearing, high torque (over 270 oz-in at 7.4V) and a fast 0.10 second turn time. It also features an industry standard 25T servo horn.

RACE-READY SPEKTRUM SR315 RECEIVER
If you want more precision from your electronics, there's no need to install another receiver. With the Spektrum SR315, you can take advantage of smart technology. With a transmitter upgrade and the SR315, you can also tune your on-board electronics wirelessly via Forward Programming.

ALUMINUM CHASSIS
The 4 mm thick aluminum chassis of the Losi 8IGHT-XTE gives the buggy a strong, stable foundation and the necessary durability to withstand long days of competition.

ALL-METAL DRIVETRAIN
From the axles to the sprocket, the pinion to the main gear, every part of the 8IGHT-XTE 4WD drivetrain is made from hardened steel to withstand the rigors of the world's most demanding tracks.

FLUID-FILLED & SEALED DIFFERENTIALS
The front, center and rear differentials allow each tire to drive independently to deliver maximum racing traction. You can tune the differentials with TLR silicone differential fluids (sold separately) to adapt the truggy to different tracks and conditions.

EASY ACCESS TO DIFFERENTIALS
The design of the Losi 8IGHT-XTE 4WD allows for quick removal of the differentials for easy maintenance and tuning at the track.

aluminum shock absorber brackets
These lightweight and strong aluminum shock towers support the necessary shock movement to keep your 8IGHT-XTE 4WD glued to the track. The tuning holes allow you to adjust the shock absorber position to suit the track and your driving style.

OIL-FILLED ALUMINUM SHOCK ABSORBERS
The oil-filled aluminum shock absorbers are threaded so you can easily adjust the ride height after your warm-up laps. You can also tune them with different springs and shock oils to adjust the suspension dynamics.
