Kyle Larson doesn’t race a stock Camaro. Professional racers need the absolute best of everything. This is as true in RC as it is in full-size racing. And, just like NASCAR, IndyCar and F1, the premium equipment in RC comes with a premium price tag. This makes jumping into RC racing for the first time or even just trying a new class a challenge.
True sportsman-level racers are often left having to choose between an uncompetitive RTR or breaking the bank on a pro kit. There’s not a lot in the middle. Losi, one of the most famous names in RC racing, and RC in general, has the perfect solution. The new Losi 8IGHT-XE is based on the national champion TLR 8IGHT-X platform but comes out of the box as an RTR that’s truly race-worthy—like add-a-transponder-and-throw-it-on-the-grid race-ready.
RACE READY
The 8IGHT-XE, as you can guess from its name, is built on the popular 8IGHT platform, which, after four years of development, first debuted in 2006 and has been winning both local and major races ever since. More important than a history lesson, this new buggy isn’t just an 8IGHT in name only. The 8IGHT-XE is 100% 8IGHT.
The chassis is fashioned out of 4mm aluminum.
