My 8ight 2.0 is on a 2100kv and 4S and its absurd. Got the accel ramp in the ESC turned way down and it's still crazy. Was much stupider before turning the ramp down.

The 3.0 is getting a 1950kv as I might actually try to race it sometime and am thinking that is plenty. It might even be too much depending on the track.

Radio is here, steering servo is here, and all that's really left at this point is installing the electronics and getting it tuned/setup. This week for sure.

Go enjoy your ride. They're pretty damn tough as I have discovered.

I was just out bashing the 8ight 2.0, got a little cocky and flew around a corner out of my line of site. Forgot there was a tree there and hit it head on at near full speed. ( I R MORON) Nothing broke. The front shock tower (a tekno piece) is bent but that will be easy to fix. I'm shocked it came out intact at all.
D'damn that sucks man
This thing is pretty expensive with all the sh*t I have in it and another set of identical tires and rims, 2 more bodies. Replacement motor and ESC. So my point is that I do careful bashing. The truck in the pic, I beat the snot out of that thing. I have about 2 runs on the Losi as of yet. Rain for a f'n week here.
