I'm still planning on buying one when it's released but man that body has to go.....

I'll just pick up a proline for it or try to rig up a T 1.0 body on it...lol.

I still don't see the benefit of using longer suspension parts with standard offset wheels......?

Anyone have some good opinions on that?

now that we have seen photos, i would like to know WHEN WHEN WHEN???

ON the wheel offset, what other company sets up there truck with the 1/2 offset, it might be a way they trying to kinda standarize wheels?? All buggies run the exact same wheels?? Might be trying to get there with all the truggs too. Kinda makes sense from a manufacturing stand point?? Dunno, just thinking!

i thought it was ugly yesterday, today, it looks great. Its growing on me real fast, i love the stance. Def. going to consider this truck. I already have an eight, which really makes it easy for me to decide. I dont have a large collection of parts, so im just gonna wait and see release dates, this thing could be available REAL soon, they already are blowing out the original 8-Ts damn thats a sweet truck!!

I think the body looks great. As for all the complaining about the new wheels, all I can say is suck it up, Losi has 1 objective in mind when designing hte truck... "Make it the best truck on the market." they are not going to use the same rims if the truck would be better with 0 off set rims. I did just purchase 6 sets of lightweight rims so it is going to cost me some bucks but if spending the cash to get new rims and tires will result in me having the best truck on the market, I'll take it.

What I love to see is Losi's dedication to winning and continuing to develop products for racing. Lotta folks including myself said that they would fall off once Losi Jr left but I gotta take my hat off. Makes me want to run the losi cars again. I didnt give them a fair shot the first time I ran the 8ight(my excuse to buy two new kits...)

Nice out of the box thinking to track down the pics.........

I doubt losi will be too happy but it is horizon that had the stuff on their site for intuitive people like you to find.......

I just wish the thing would hurry up and fly into hobby shop shelves so I can buy one to compare to the current losi truggy. I'm planning on setting them both up with the exact same engine, pipe, servos, battery, tires...etc.. to try them on the track back to back so I can see the differences.
