Overview

Team Losi revolutionized 1/8-scale buggy racing with the 8IGHT, the first genuinely new design in more than a decade. Now they’ve done the same for ready-to-run drivers with the 8IGHT RTR. Starting with the same innovative ultra-narrow chassis and drivetrain layout, the 8IGHT RTR packs authoritative power and handling right out of the box. Team Losi’s 427 engine and tuned exhaust come pre-installed, along with Spektrum’s crystal-free DX2 radio system for unmatched control. The centrally mounted motor, oversized shocks, thick aluminum chassis, and numerous other ingenious features yield both performance and durability. When it comes to the combination of features and race-inspired performance in a ready-to-run buggy, no one comes close to the 8IGHT RTR from Team Losi.

Did you know the X1 CR is a Kanai 2 just has a Jammin sticker on it? And the MP 7.5 is older than the Jammin thats why the Jammin is a little higher priced.

The newer the product the higher the price. The price will drop, but because it is new and nothing else is like it on the market right now it has a higher price tag.
