TLR 8IGHT-X/E 2.0 Electric/Nitro 1/8 Competition Combo Buggy Kit, TLR04012

Rear Adjustable Hubs

The rear hubs on the 8IGHT-X/E 2.0 have an updated pin location and also provide more positions for adjustment in vertical height. This gives you, the consumer more options for fine-tune the car for maximum grip no matter the surface.

Square Insert Pills and Narrower Rear Pivots

The A, B, C, D pivot mounts have been updated to use square pills offering more tuning options. The rear pivots are now narrowed to improve the front to rear roll of the car and provide more rear grip in all situations and a better-balanced front to rear.

7075 3mm Aluminum Chassis

Made from 7075 3mm aluminium, the hard adonised chassis is new to the 8IGHT-X/E 2.0 and is milled out deeper to allow for more flex and make it the lightest 1/8 chassis yet.

Centre Diff Setup

The centre diff mount has been updated with a stronger moulded composite piece and the new integrated mount for the throttle servo is lighter. The electric buggy side will be using an updated centre diff set up from the 8XT.

Brake Setup

The brake cams have been updated and the brakes are now freer and provide better and more consistent braking force and feel.

Front and Rear Shock Tower

The front and rear diff case have been altered to allow easier access to the differentials without removing the bulkheads from the vehicle. The rear diff case has been updated to allow for the new C and D pivot blocks.

Front and Rear Universals

Shorter and lighter universals are featured in the front and rear of the 8IGHT-X/E 2.0, resulting in smoother exiting turns and aid the fluidity of the car in bumpy track conditions.

Radio Tray

To provide better balance to the car, the steering servo position has been moved inward and forward. For the E version, the updated steering servo mount has an integrated ESC mount moving the position of the ESC forward in the car.

Steering Rack

The steering rack allows more Ackerman adjustments and an improved servo saver to eliminate bellcrank bind during high loads. Also, the rear mounting points moved in and back allowing the drag link to sway back for a more linear steering feel.

Optimised Shocks

The 8IGHT-X shocks are optimized and lightened to decrease the centre of gravity and lower the weight of the car and will include 3.5mm shock shafts. The shock pistons have been altered to allow more blow-by to aid in bump handling.

Insert/Truss Suspension Arms

All three gear differentials now include V2 HD diff cases with composite pin holders, V2 O rings, lightened sun gears, and F/R high traction outdrives. Which provides more grip and a consistent feel throughout the entire run along with quicker acceleration and longer run times.

Suspension Geometry

Including a myriad of updates such as an updated hub offset, a wider front pivot with less scrub radius, a narrower rear pivot, longer suspension arms and more suspension locations, the 8IGHT-X/E 2.0’s next-generation suspension makes it fast, agile and easier to drive.

Adjustable Caster Blocks

17.5 deg caster blocks are included that allow the height of the spindle to be adjusted up and down for high-speed stability.

Chassis Side Guards

The updated chassis guards allow for more room. They have been moved back 3mm for tyre expansion while the E-buggy side has the battery tray moulded into the side guard for a lower centre of gravity and to make the 8IGHT-X/E lighter.

Bleeder Shock Caps

Machined aluminium shock caps with threaded bleeder holes for easy and consistent bleeding of oil. Bladders and Emulsion seals are included for tuning to your track conditions and driving style.
