I feel my set up is so turn key, being a Losi guy makes sense when you can put them together nicely in a package that works.


Kit: Losi 8 4.0
Engines speed, 19-21 track dep
Pipe:2060 or 2090 with dif headers
Clutch:Losi 4 shoe, simple n true
Servos:hitec 7950/7940
Battery:I run lightweight 900mah lipo
Radio: m12s best radios
Tires: aka pro line or Losi 4 me.
Fuel:nitrotane is clean and crisp
Upgrades: I would stay away from the rear aluminum hubs and the center diff mount as they both seem to make the car worse, mostly every other hop up losi makes is top notch and other companies have cool stuff like Fioroni dif cups that hold extra oil. I love losi shocks, and how free the drivetrain is but I’m fully upgraded with the best feel for my car regarding aluminum and plastic for flex. So the next step would be getting good bearing and lightweight screws because like I said I have every hop up n don’t use them all if they make the car stiff where it won’t work. The only necessary upgrade on the 4.0 is the top plate and Servo saver arm aluminum. Everything else is super solid. Although we all get the ti turnbuckles and pins. It’s not needed n you probably can’t feel a difference.

Here’s the best part, brand new this would cost you in the 1500-2k goal, but, if you shop on here I guarantee if you wait for this stuff to come threw brand new (it will eventually) you can get it all for probably under 1400 if not way cheaper. N if your getting it used I guarantee you could get this set up for under a grand or close. Just bargain.
