Maybe to save the cost of an electric conversion kit. The Losi 8ight E is more or less a Losi 8ight buggy with losi doing the work of installing the electric conversion for you and putting in a brushless system and hiking the price up. Buy the RC8B, a electric conversion and build it electric from the get go and buy a nice brushless system instead of the nitro motor. I recommend the Tekin RX8 system. I just dropped one in my Losi truggy and it is insane.

If you compare the price difference in the two part for part, it costs less to build a B and the kit than it does to buy the RC8E and upgrade to the B parts (shocks, towers, etc) so they aren't really making that much extra on the B kit anyway..
Honestly though, the way to go is the RC8B and the conversion. While you're at it.. order the Elite motor mount and save yourself the grief there too

I run the RC8B with the AE conversion. The only thing I did not care for was the motor mount as it's a PITA to service the motor once you bolt it to chassis. Get yourself an Elite RC motor mount and you'll be golden.

i have an rc8b-e. best e buggy iver driven. ive had a d8 with a tekno and my buddy had a mugen with a tekno. he now drives a losi with losi's e conversion. by far the rc8be is way superior to any of those. the losi drives nice. but the rc8 is just better at everything. and it has factory settings. i love it
