Team Losi Racing 8ight-T E 3.0 Truggy

By Matt On July 9, 2015 · Add Comment

The 8ight-T E 3.0 is more than a mere conversion of its race-winning, nitro-powered sibling. Everything, from the layout of the chassis plate to the suspension components has been tailored for electric power.
Starting with an all-new chassis that has been widened and balanced specifically for electric power, it has been milled from lightweight, 4mm 7075-T6 aluminium and has been hard anodised for maximum durability.
There is a choice of speed control and battery mounting locations to it is possible to easily relocate components when tuning the vehicle’s balance for varying track conditions. Specific suspension components such as springs, shock pistons and anti-roll bars have also been updated to better complement electric power systems.
The large volume shocks are easier to tune and remain more consistent during temperature change. They feature tapered springs that provide greater clearance while reducing the chance of spring cup ejection during extreme impacts. Machined pistons are included for greater precision and increased performance.
The kit includes hard anodised adjustable front pivots and low roll centre rear pivots with adjustable bushings.
Many of the parts included with this kit are popular upgrades that will give you everything you need to build a team-spec truggy right out of the box. This includes lightweight outdrives, adjustable hinge pin braces, an aluminium servo saver top, aluminium rear bearing inserts and more.
The body shares many of the same lines with the nitro version body but extends the rear stabilisation fin so that it meets the rear of the cab. The adjustable rear wing includes a .250 and .500 inch spacer that lets you move the wing back for extra stability on high-speed tracks.
