HorizonRC.com Review - Losi 8IGHT T 2 0 RTR

What started out as a modified monster truck class has truly evolved to be a pure-bred race class. Im speaking of the highly competitive truggy class of course. There have been a number of different philosophies on how to build the best truck out there. Some trucks work really well on hard-packed, smooth surfaces. Still others work really well on rough and bumpy tracks. But the question is how do you find a truck that works well on many different surfaces yet compromises nothing? Look no further than the latest truggy from Losi, the 8IGHT-T 2.0 RTR.
The trickle-down theory works well in many applications, and this is a perfect example. As their latest flagship truck, the 8IGHT-T 2.0 performs straight from the box. For those looking for a complete ready-to-run package, Losi has taken what theyve learned on their all-out race truck and updated their RTR truggy and brought it to 2.0-spec. The result is the truck you see here, the Losi 8IGHT-T 2.0 RTR. Complete with a starter box, JR servos, a Losi 454 engine and Spektrum DX3S transmitter—this is one capable RTR.

Is the high end needle on the the truggy supposed to stick out some?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@RCcrazy2008 It can depending on how rich you need to make it.

[RCcrazy2008]

Will do. Thanks. I'm thinking about buying the 8-2.0 buggy. Is that a good buggy or is there better?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@RCcrazy2008 3-Time ROAR National Champion... kinda speaks for itself :)

[RCcrazy2008]

I just bought one of these. Comes in tomorrow. I already have an MGT 8.0. This will be my first truggy. Seems like it will be good. Kinda worried about the starter box though. I heard the belt breaks fast.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@RCcrazy2008 Make sure you push down on the engine head when starting, NOT the wing. A lot of people push on the wing which can cause issues.
