Next Generation Excitement with the TLR 8IGHT-XT/XTE RC Truggy
With a championship-winning legacy to uphold the new TLR 8IGHT-XT Next Generation Truggy has undergone some serious updates. Changes to the drivetrain, suspension geometry, and, the chassis layout make this one tough RC Truggy to beat while also being easier to drive. With a long list of features, the TLR 8IGHT-XT Next Generation Truggy can boast a 3mm chassis, machined aluminium shock caps, large-footprint engine mount, cab-forward body plus a lot more. Maintaining the standards set by its 8IGHT predecessors this RC Truggy is ready to create more winners.
The completely revamped suspension geometry on the TLR 8IGHT-XT Next Generation Truggy gives you a vehicle that is even more nimble, fast and easy to drive. This is just one of a range of updates with wider front pivot with less scrub radius, narrower rear pivot, longer front and rear arms, and, an updated hub offset just one of many improvements. Stiffener plates can now be accepted in the design of the all-new suspension arms which will give racers the ability to tune the flex of the suspension. Moulded plates are included with the kit but there are optional carbon fibre plates available separately if you want to upgrade.
The chassis on the TLR 8IGHT-XT Next Generation Truggy has been thinned down to 3mm to give racers some weight savings and it has also been made wider. The additional width helps give this remote control truggy an improved neutral feel and aids stability. Balanced torsional flex has also been achieved with equalized side to side. To eliminate additional linkage the updated radio tray allows the throttle servo to be positioned near the engine, and, firmly mounted off of the centre differential to avoid any flex. Updates on all four corners of this RC truggy allow the same large ball bearings to be used.
The TLR 8IGHT-XT Truggy is definitely Next Generation!
