Depends on what 8ight 2.0 you are purchasing. Either way the 8ight is a very well durable car and really doesn't need to much of an upgrade. I bought a 8ight 2.0 race roller and it practically came perfect. I would recommend doing the steering mod and buying the Gen III radio Tray. Take your time when building the car. Use the Losi Lock tight or another brand of medium strength epecially on the screws that go through the chassis.
