Losi 1/8 8IGHT-XTE 4S 4X4 RTR Brushless Race Truggy, Clear

Losi 1/8 8IGHT-XTE 4WD Sensored Brushless Racing Truggy RTR Overview

The pinnacle of outdoor RC car competition is 1/8-scale off-road racing. The tracks often stretch over 20,000 square feet, challenging each driver’s skills with numerous turns, washboard sections, and off-camber corners. Multiple elevation changes send the cars leaping more than 30 feet as they sprint for a spot on the podium.

If you’re eager to experience the thrills of 1/8-scale off-road racing for yourself, you’ll need a vehicle that adapts to track conditions and your own driving style. It should feature a combination of race-proven components that will give you a head start toward victory—the right shock package, the best tire compound and tread, and differentials tuned to deliver maximum power to the ground. It should be the 1/8-scale Losi 8IGHT-XTE 4WD Racing Truggy.

With a generous track width and massive 5.5-inch tires, 1/8-scale truggies can easily speed over rough terrain without having to slow down to avoid mishaps. They’re incredibly fast and tough enough to survive long racing heats on the world’s largest outdoor tracks.

The Losi 8IGHT-XTE 4WD Racing Truggy fits that description perfectly. Based on the back-to-back ROAR National Champion TLR 8IGHT-X platform, it’s packed with engineering proven to win races. Standard features include a race-legal brushless power system and chassis specifications featuring a full-metal driveline and a competition-caliber Spektrum S665 metal-gear steering servo. If that’s not enough to catch your opponents’ attention, the truggy’s Pro-Line Racing OE-Spec Axis 8IGHT-XTE body, Blockade tires, and Velocity wheels are the exact same race-proven designs used to compete around the world.

The Losi 8IGHT-XTE offers great value, too. To start racing with a 1/8-scale truggy this well-equipped, you’d normally have to buy a kit, assembly tools, and completion parts—spending as much as $1,600 total or more—and then also invest the time needed to put it all together. You can race the 8IGHT-XTE as soon as you finish painting its cab-forward body in your favorite colors and install your choice of a charged 4S LiPo battery. Keep a second charged battery on hand, and you can be in and out of the pits in an instant, enjoying performance that’s as aggressive as a nitro truggy but with the simplicity of electric power.

World-class TLR option parts are directly compatible with the 8IGHT-XTE. As your skills improve, you can upgrade your truggy into an indomitable racing machine. If you’re a fan of real auto racing, getting into 1/8-scale RC racing with the 8IGHT-XTE will teach you about suspension dynamics and other topics that make a difference in full-scale competition.

The RC racing hobby is ultimately about more than just winning. It’s about being part of a team, attending events, sharing setup tips, and cheering each other on from the pits. To get there, start here—with the Losi 8IGHT-XTE 4WD. This fully assembled, ready-to-run 1/8-scale racing truggy comes with a Spektrum DX3 radio and requires only a 4S LiPo battery and a compatible charger.
