If you take into account similar geometry between Losi & 808, and the fact that the 808 is nearly a half pound (7 ounces I weighed them) lighter than the Losi, the 808 should and does jump better. "Fly's so nice" and "your car looks dialed", is all I hear from other racers after every run with my 808. Like I said I've owned both and seriously my 808 does everything better than my Losi ever did. I'm not saying the Losi isn't a great buggy, I'm just saying the 808 is better.
I too think the point has been made here..... almost every post/driver that has had both buggies, is saying the 808 comes out on top. Thats got to say a little something.... no?
I dont think its hype anymore....
