Currently, I cannot decide between the Losi 8ight and the RC8BE. I want to get either one of these as well as the Lazer, B4.1, or the TLR 22. So, in all, I will end up with two cars. If you have any of these cars please share some pro's and cons with the following categories:
-Durability
-Runtime
-Price
-Bashing
-Easy to work with technical-wise
-Handling
-Weight differential
-Any other features, etc.
So far, I'm wanting to go with the RC8BE and the 22.
I own a Losi 8ight and used to own an RC8Be. I raced both of them. I like the 8ight much better. It's more durable and forgiving. I hear the RC8.2Be is much better, but I have not driven one yet.
-Durability = 8ight
-Price = RC8BE
-Bashing = 8ight
-Easy to work with... = 8ight
-Handling = RC8Be(aggressive/twitchy) 8ight(stable/forgiving)
-Weight differential = RC8Be
- RC8Be has more adjustments, 8ight needs few upgrades
The deal breaker for me with the RC8Be was the weak CVA's. It seemed like every 3rd or 4th practice/race day I was bending one or more of them. It was beyond annoying. Those things are not cheap to replace. If you ignore it, you will see a lot of vibration coming from it. Not a big deal if you are bashing, but horrible if you are racing.
