Description

The most exciting and challenging form of RC car racing is 1:8 scale off-road buggy racing. Tracks often span over 1,800 square meters and feature alternating turns, curved board sections and hanging turns that test the skills of the drivers. The cars travel at breakneck speeds through several elevation changes, sometimes jumping more than 10 meters in their sprint for the podium!

What does it take to succeed? The driver needs control and the ability to stay cool under pressure. The buggy must be able to adapt to changing track conditions and personal driving style. A vehicle that already has the ideal combination of race-proven features – such as the right shock absorber package, the best tire compound and tread pattern, and differentials tuned to deliver maximum power to the ground – gives you a good start on the road to victory.

That’s exactly what you get with the ready-to-drive Losi 8IGHT-XE 1/8 Scale 4WD Racing Buggy. Based on ROAR’s multi-time national champion TLR 8IGHT-X platform, it’s packed with proven race-winning technology. A sensor-controlled brushless power system, race-approved chassis and electronics, all-metal drivetrain, Spektrum S665 race-ready servo, and other standard features will give any driver an adrenaline rush before the starting signal.

Its track output is as aggressive as a nitro-powered race car, but with the simplicity of electric power. Keep a second charged 4S LiPo battery at the ready and you’ll be in and out of the pits in no time. With premium, direct-fit TLR optional parts, you can easily upgrade your Losi 8IGHT-XE into an absolutely unstoppable buggy as you improve your skills. If you’re tech-savvy and competitive and looking for a long-term hobby that you’ll enjoy, you’ve come to the right place. Immerse yourself in 1/8th scale racing with the 8IGHT-XE and learn about driving dynamics and other topics that apply to full-scale racing.

After all, 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 pits. To get there, start here – with the Losi 8IGHT-XE 4WD. This fully assembled, ready-to-run 1/8th scale buggy comes with a Spektrum DX3 radio system and requires only a 4S LiPo battery and a compatible charger.
