Anyone know what weight oil in the diffs and shocks they will be using in the 8E?

Well hopefully Team Losi decides to ship these out with the http://www.rctech.net/forum/nitro-of...ght-2-0-a.html parts installed or via service pack. Otherwise sales of these kits will be pretty lame. Perhaps the reason for the delay?

Impakt RC is showing these in stock

$1,000 for the electric setup from Losi. Including vehicle and electric system. Still need a battery(ies) though.

Nice.

So you get the Nitro junk too?

There on a good path with these set's.

I don't get it.

So what's the difference between 8ight-E and 8IGHT Buggy Conversion Combo?

As far as I can tell, the same things are included. So is the only difference that one is sorta RTR and the other comes as a Buggy Kit + Electric Conversion Kit + Motor/ESC and a clear unpainted body that you have to put together yourself?

And the un-built kit is $120 more expensive than the RTR 8ight-E? Why is that?

Edit: I realize now I guess you still get the Nitro junk with the Buggy Conversion Combo, whereas 8ight-E doesn't come with that. That must be why it's more expensive.

I guess they've answered my wishes for a 8ight-E kit, hehe. Except it comes as a combo of nitro kit + elec conv kit.

Edit 2: Now they just need to release the 8IGHT 2.0 Buggy Conversion Combo, lol.

To me at least, seems like a quick way to really clear out the the 8ight and 8ight-T kits in stock. Heck, they could just attach the conversion parts in a seperate package to the original kit box.

And with the E-8ight roller being limited edition, maybe they see this new configuration as where they are going to go? I hope not.

I wanna see how well these ESC's hold up to abuse?

I would like the ESCs to hold up for dtandard race conditions

Yeah, like I said, abuse.
Most people run there stuff to the max of their limitations trying to be the "fastest"

I look at bashing like landing under full power, extreme revving(backflips), and max speed runs. When I think of racing I think of smooth acceleration, light brakes, and never reaching max speeds for more than several feet.

The first batch of Losi Brushless 8ight's are limited to about 200. Most likely the next batch will be the 2.0 version of the 8ight.

where losi has annonce that information ?
thx

will get some pics out when I receive it
