Team Losi Racing has taken the most innovative, revolutionary 1/8-scale buggy design in racing history one step further. The 1/8-scale 8IGHT 2.0 European Spec Buggy Kit provides racers with a ground-breaking kit that is optimized specifically for European-style track setups. Using track-tested tuning setups from top European nitro racers, as well as newly engineered features and design elements aimed at the European market, the 8IGHT 2.0 EU Buggy Kit is professionally dialed and ready for assembly.

The 8IGHT 2.0 EU features king pin spindles and carriers made from black, hard-anodized aluminum. The spindles and carriers feature 5 degrees of inclination and 12 degrees of caster for improved steering control.

The front and rear shock towers on the 8IGHT 2.0 EU feature additional laid down shock locations. These additional mounting locations help to improve vehicle handling by smoothing out vehicle response on high speed tracks.

The black, hard-anodized adjustable front and rear hinge pin braces offer multiple track tuning options. The adjustable rear hinge pin brace also utilizes sixteen adjustment cams for quick and easy adjustments. The buggy’s 15mm vented shock caps and foam bladder compensators provide increased rebounding ability to the shocks, and also help to improve pressurization during temperature fluctuations.

The 8IGHT 2.0 EU Kit features metal servo inserts for steering and throttle to eliminate servo horns issues. The buggy also comes with 8 differently sized servo inserts, to accommodate all servos.

The wheel hexes and wheel nuts on the 8IGHT 2.0 EU Kit have been hard-anodized black, and the covered wheel nuts help to keep debris out of the axle. The 8IGHT 2.0 EU features a redesigned 8IGHT 2.0 European-style body designed to create more down force on high speed European tracks.
