[Bluey2708]

Where is this

[HoustonVJP]

awsume



[blackgavin97]

hey what engine do you have in it?

[tazman0009]

@IGNATION701 I'd bet most people know it's hard on the car, they just don't care. Beat the hell out of it, break it, fix it. Nothing wrong with that.

[MRsageprductions]

definatly good jumping, have you bashed with it yet?

[TomTomsson]

@MRsageprductions Car is finally sold onwards. Never really got "mileage" on it. Pretty much all my driving is trackbashing, not real racing.

[luckyphilster]

beats the hell out of my tamiya frog

[1999151]

that is some awesome driving man did you win any races with it yet

[TheCountryboy140]

the roller is stupid the race ready is 100 dollars more and has a bad ass controller and starter box

[Piga96]

@TheCountryboy140 yeah. in germany the raceroller is 350€ and the race ready is 579€.. but the raceroller got more aluminium things ! ;) and the servos of the race ready sucks hard. u need to pay 100€ for 2 nice servos. u have to pay 1200 to 1300 bucks if you want a very nice racing car.

[alexanto86]

scusami che problema ha avuto la macchina alla fine del video? grazie! :) cmq bel video

[442domintation]

did you have any problems turning over the engine with the starter box when the engine was new?

[viss3n]

wow that thing is fast verry nice car hope you enjoy it

[kyll3r14]

[iamcyberpunk68]

[crazyair24]

[bayareaaxialcrawler]

you trying to sell it

[sh33ny]

great choice of song nice truggy nice track good vid =]

[TomTomsson]

Engine? Is was an old engine.

Car? When semitrackbashing cars don't need to be broken in in any special way. So no, except two tanks on the lawn at the backyard.

By the way, than car is sitting on the shelf just behind me. Shining like a cent :) Last time running over year ago. It has OS XZ28 engine nowadays.

[azwheelman]

did you ever have any problems with rear end ring/pinion mesh

[TomTomsson]

@azwheelman Yes, now I have. About to shim the pinion gear..

[azwheelman]

@TomTomsson thats only problems with my 8t , 8 2.0 buggy no problems

[MrSkaterdom1]

my rc buggy go's 40mph

[taz1175]

Awesome vid !

[suzuki1able]

how much do losi 8ights cost and are the good rc cars?

[cars05man1]

depends on which losi 8-ight you want to run usually 600+ for a new one and they are AMAZING cars for the track and good to bash with too but they are better racers then bashers.

[2ManCrew1]

I got the newer xxx-t

[ojoj626]

its not the xxx-t anymore its the xxx-s i have a xxx-t that i ran many years ago and i got a very old losi buggy from the 80's and a assosieated t2 but now i race the x-ray t2r 007 on the on-road and short course

[nitrokid99]

both my eight t's will smoke that lrp 28 and orion 21 in my racer

[Paxmax]

oooh.. I just love the RB WS... such a nice engine to work with.

[shitburger1]

thats hot

[spike3335]

sounds like you got that engine nicely tuned, very snappy low throttle responce

[nitrokid911]

sweet body. It looks awesome

[austinkx09]

cool

[namezryan]

nice...

YELLOW N BLACK.,.

[TomTomsson]

thanks

[madeinchinamyass]

hopefully you broke it in.

[3DaysTillGrace]

The motor or the clutch? I can hear that he didnt break in the clutch but I don't know about the motor. And obviously the car itself wouldn't be broken in because its his first day out with it

[TomTomsson]

Of course I broke it in, about 1 year before this video was shot. It is/was an old engine. Breaking in clutch? haha. Why not antenna tube?

Those on the video, are not the first tanks of fuel that car had on in. I had driven it few tanks in the backyard already.

[3DaysTillGrace]

You got to break in your clutch because its really slick when its brand new and it will just slip.

[TomTomsson]

No it won't slip. That is just wrong information to some maybe new hobbyists who are reading these comments.

Clutch will get "broken in" just fine in normal abuse. Well, there's many kinds of pastic clutches etc so... But these aluminium and composite racing clutch shoes does NOT require to be broken in in any special way, just driving.

[3DaysTillGrace]

If you drive around like normal the clutch will stop slipping and be fully broken in, in about 5 minute. Its best to go easy and smooth on the throttle. BUT if you but in a brand new clutch for your main its smart to just hold the car on the ground and rev the motor for a few seconds to break in the clutch. That way as soon as you put your car on the track your good to go

[kawikx85bigwheel]

my x ray nt 18 would smoke that!!!!NOT

[ObsessiveDetailer]

which would you say is the easiest to drive?

[fox2863]

truggies are easier to drive and they are better of road in the sand and over broken ground the losi is a brillliant truggy it only takes six screws to remove the electronics for cleaning and losi make a quick relese mount for the motor.

[ObsessiveDetailer]

which is generally fastest around a track, the 8ight or 8ight T?

[Betaa12345]

if its a good track with not to shabby surfaces the buggy beats truggy easy altho truggy handles bumps better and has more accelration/braking power

truggy has .28 and buggy .21 thought

[DangerousAernscht]

Nice control skills!

[WTF007GER]

nice paint job

[blacklistracer03]

It costs a good 10 dollars at just about any hobby shop but it's well worth it.

[georgebest7968]

if any company like hpi or traxxas deal with that issue i think a monster truck bee a good or better truck .........

even tho losi have made something like that called losi lst i watched many videos losi has done a best job making a monster truck that turn fast and handle like a pro i just saying that if you like monster truck better. i Guss buying a savage x with lower chassis and new body or the lst with a suspension pro kit

[teknology]

even with a lower chasis the Savage handles like a nitro school bus. The only thing i've seen work where a savage can handle like a losi is the fuel line in the shocks trick and adding boe tie wheels.

[georgebest7968]

may be saying two difference Truggies monster trucks i was wrong may be teknology was right i was comparing to other most poplar truck ... even tho the truck is better... i think with the information i have i think the truck is good and the monster trucks are are good to like savage and t maxx all i am saying is monster truck is not very good at corners truck can turn fast in this video but if he was using savage x he cant ... that's the only issue i have with monster trucks ...

[blyzzard21]

I'm getting the 8ight-T RTR monday, and just watching these is making me want it even more. This is a really cool truck. Any tips about it, like things I should watch out for?

[blacklistracer03]

ummmm... ya. after your 3rd time starting it, a bomb arms and it explodes after you reach 40mph. actually no. They handle excellent, of course i maintain mine well, but even if i didn't, i'm sure it would still work great. the only thing i would recommend is geting Nitro Force fuel cleaner. sometimes fuel will dry up and get really gummy in the carberator. and in the fuel air filter. so just every once in a while clean that out with the Nitro Force. it evaporates rapidly after you spray it too.

[teknology]

Are you going to be using stock parts? One thing i can say is becareful how you land when you jump. Land on the front ball joint too often will eventually cause it to jump out by itself. They have fixes for that.

[fox2863]

yep and land ass down on the wing your gonna nee a new diff housing

[teknology]

Dude, that paint job is nice. I realized you were breaking around the turns. I found out if your setup is right you can punch it before the turn and the losi will hold.

[teknology]

Losis use disk brakes. The majority of R/Cs are using disk if not all.

[georgebest7968]

man i think you should all get the Team Losi 8 RTR truggy because it can handle the jumps that savage x 4.6 can and a top speed of 41.3 mph close to savage but savage x :44.1mph and the price is high but see if you savage xi know its strong and jumper but see if you take to to track or a race see when you turn is it just falls to the ground in truggy you can have fast turns and up to 4.7m high jumps close to savage 5.0m and it come with everything even Spektrum DX2.0 full

[teknology]

Well, you're talking about 2 different classes. Truggies are designed to handle on track. Monster trucks,although they can be hopped up to handle tracks, are designed for tracks.

[lccs187]

cant remember the name but i just bought a antique that has been completely rebuilt and has everything brandnew i think its has a traxxas 2.5 motor anyway i bought it all for 260 cant fucking wait to pick it up

[gustavohuink]

Love the Car... and the video too haha 5/5

[AD4212]

should i buy 8ight-t(2.0 if it comes in truggy) if im just gonna bash and have fun?

i dont want savage...! i think..!

[lego000001]

really cool. i have an 8ight-t too but nothing like that lol

[DiddyKongFTW]

so is losi more reliable then traxxas?

[maplefan94]

oh yeah. TRAXXAS = no aluminum  LOSI = 80% aluminum

[trickedyfz450]

lol this vid was posted on my b-day!

i want an 8ight. how much did yours cost?

[TomTomsson]

If I remember right it was something like 700 euros for the rolling chassis. Do the currency math :)

[rcdandennis]

great vid nice car wat steering servo u got thnks

[TomTomsson]

And you watched the video? :)

Check 0:18-0:23 and see.

[cold356]

did u break the motor in or did u just put it on the track ?

[TomTomsson]

It was old engine. Driven already something like 2-3 gal, ~10 litres that is.

[walttupalttu]

ok,kiitos sivusta

[walttupalttu]

mistä ostit

[TomTomsson]

sabe

[walttupalttu]

jumalauta,onko hyvä?

[TomTomsson]

Tota, joo :)

[sh33ny]

nice tune you got there "paul van dyke - for an angel". and nice car i lookin at buyin a truggy but i dont know wich is a reliable 1 with easy access to spare parts lool

[pcsbyte]

Nice Track.

[RevoPwns]

i have electric and nitro im not crazy about nitro never can get them running right and they always brake i like elctric nice and easy to mantian i have 5 trucks 2 electric 3 nitro

[mxnoah418]

that truck deserves a better track

haha

[TomTomsson]

:(  .

[TRAXEL47]

I WANT ONE!!!!

[mugenracer123654]

cool how fast

[associatedwithlosi]

I'm an electric guy. But how fast does that go?

[TomTomsson]

I don't know, but I guess something like 60-70km/h

[moganglez]

nice paint job

[AD4212]

nice kaross paint!! :)

[TomTomsson]

What the! :O kaross - "a blanket made of animal skins sewn together"

Or do you mean body? :) If I remember right kaross is swedish for body. Well, paintjob is actually very simple and made with model spraycans. But thanks anyway :)

[AD4212]

hehe! :)

karosseri is the body of the car in norwegian! xD

sorry! Heh! :)

[mxzx4321]

what pipe is that

[TomTomsson]

RB 2020

[helpmenick]

nice track who cares bout big jumps the jumps there look cool smaller the jumps less you break.

[losilover16]

there is no best company

it wat fits you best. thats y before you decide to go buy a truggy or buggy you test out other cars. just ask people at the track say look im really interested in buying one can i try yours out to see how i like it cause theres a lot of them jammin, kyosho, losi,and asshoesciated. try em dial it run it!

[LEONBUH]

still u gt to love losi

[losilover16]

yea i dint wanna brag

[ShawnoftheDead420]

i prefer my jammin. i tried the losi 8, but it just wasnt right for me. i think it was the way losi moved the engine forward, it just made it a lil to squirly for me. maybe i just needed to get used to it. i guess i just know my jammin and how to drive it. and no, im not putting down losi. i do prefer losi when it comes to 1/10 electrics.

[kranjFLY]

what of kind is that motor?? 4.6ccm????????

[TomTomsson]

3.5ccm

[mrnoobkiller]

Great vid man, also would you recommend that car to a beginner?

[TomTomsson]

Well, If you really want to buy everything seperately and money is no issue and you are skilled builder etc ;) This car comes also as a Ready to run version including pretty much everything, not much more expensive than this race version with nothing. Get that one.

[Danny33336]

why do ppl critisize team losi when they are the best truggy out there(in my opinion i dont think the mother fuckers evn have a nitro rc)

[TomTomsson]

Who is criticizing and where?

[Danny33336]

Yo bcpq63, u loser you really think thats a bad track, the track is awsome.

[TomTomsson]

Thanks, happy to see that at least somebody likes the track.

Woah, over 10k views :O Cool.

[Danny33336]

Nice homemade track, and you should not rev that like that because its bad for the engiine and gears, team LOSI KICKS ASS!!

[TomTomsson]

Racing stuff don't mind how much you rev them, as long as engine is warm. To the certain limit that is.

You should see what is revving by going to see these things race :)

[bcpq63]

Well you and you shovel need to work to put in more jumps.

[TomTomsson]

In our nature we don't have that blue groove gravel stuff, or whatever, which is ideal for rc tracks in your country. Beeing hard and taking a lot of bunishment before needs repairing. If we want to make big jumps we have to make them of concrete, which is ridigulous. Or pure clay, which is in other hand very ass to fix ones it's dried and chipped. Our small club also has not so many members, so track must be easily fixable, even if it wears quickly. Compromises my friend.

[TomTomsson]

Althought I have to say we are planning of changing tracks layout so that we can add one more jump on a very long straight. It's gonna be the biggest jump of our track and is gonna be covered with something so it lasts. Longest jump is now "only" 8 meters.

[bcpq63]

Why such a nice truck on such a crappy track

[TomTomsson]

Why you say that :( I have built that track with my bare hands.. and a shovel. If you mean that theres no BIG air jumps, then I understand. In Finland we rarely have. If you check my "rc buggy jumps" video, you see the same area without the track. That video is from 2003 and track was built in 2004

[juliankingtheone]

how fast does this one go?

[TomTomsson]

60-70 km/h. It had quite a short stock gearing.

I have now the beast O.S 28XZ installed, so I but 14t clutchbell to it. We'll see at spring how it goes.

[Suidakkra]

Very nice r/c.

[OBO600]

i like the spectum engine os its $550 dalloers but it is so fast you wont even see it

[3DaysTillGrace]

I think you are thinking of the new v spec. And its 500 dollars

[razzo2k6]

what is the buggy like in all area's im getting the kit with a 32 or 28 engine and swana mx-fhss radio futaba servos

whats that sound like to you??

[x3rxx]

its beatiful, especialy with the WS7 XD

[AceOfSpade1234]

That engine sounds good! I've got the Buggy RTR, the Engine is real fast, and the DX2 Radio system is real nice.

[TomTomsson]

I´m just about to buy OS's new .28XZ race engine. Let's see what happens

[lanerbrainer205]

Nice video, nice 8ight-T. Good job! :D

[lpauley]

hey doe sthe 8ight t kit come with diff oils and has it got diff oils in it intially

[crcracers]

my friend has beeen putting in jr 400 ounce servos and the turns reall fast you should do the same

[jasje]

Nice movie, I love that engine. I'm running the same in my buggy, and it RIPS! Keep it up and have fun.

[losifreak]

hey blade12347

i think you should get the kit. thats what i did. cause the rtr's shock towers, chassis, turnbuckles, and other metal parts aren't as high quality. but in the rtr that is a pretty good engine.

Its your choice but i say the kit. ( and i recomend you put in somethin like a RB S7 or somethin)

[blade12347]

wow your a good racer where is this track located?

ive been thinking about getting an 8ight-t is it worth it to get the rtr or the kit?

[TomTomsson]

I don't know about that good part. Seem like you are gonna have quite a walk, track is located here at Finland :)

Well, I myself prefer kit-versions, but then you need to get seperately engine, servos etc. Quite expensive. Though 8ight-t is expensive anyhow. But still RTR comes with quite decent radiogear. I dunno about the engine. Hard choice. Car itself is brilliant!

[bowlinking89]

i put a OS .30vg in mine and it runs very well at the track.

[bowlinking89]

.30vg is a good engine for cheap
