Losi 8IGHT & 8IGHT-T Go Gas, Get AVC – Nuremberg News

Losi’s gas technology is finally trickling down to other vehicles in the lineup. The next two vehicles on the list to get the innovational engine are Losi’s 8IGHT buggy and 8IGHT-T truggy. Losi has done a lot to make these RTR vehicles very user friendly. You get reliable power from the Dynamite .31 gasoline engine and it requires less maintenance and has a low operational cost. Losi even throws in a starter box to get the engine running. Other impressive features include AVC, a LiPo receiver battery and a 150cc fuel tank. These vehicles are the first of their kind and could change the face of buggy and truggy racing as we know it. We are very excited to get our hands on these new vehicles and get them in the dirt.
