New Losi 1:8 8IGHT 2.0 EU
Losi’s new Losi 8ight 2.0 EU Race Buggy is the result of many months of collaboration with their European Race Team. Designed specifically for the European market, the 8ight 2.0 EU features revised suspension geometry to help increase side-bite and traction through longer turns.
Adding more front caster angle also helps keep the 8ight 2.0 EU tighter as you power out of those turns and improves straight-line stability which is also helped by the re-sculpted body shell that is designed to channel air more effectively than before.
The legendary dampers now come fitted with internal volume compensators, which help you from grounding out when landing big hits when you’re running your suspension softer so that it handles the bumps and ruts that are typical on the European circuits.
Losi, as racers themselves know that you often want to build your car up initially – so that you know what fluids and settings it has so they’ve listened and the 8ight 2.0 EU is available only in kit form – also leaving you to decide what wheels and tyres work best for you.
To be honest, there’s a whole host of detail changes – all designed especially for EU.
