    All of the parts needed to run either nitro or electric are included in one box.

     

    Rear Adjustable Hubs
    Rear Adjustable Hubs

    The rear hubs on the 8IGHT-X/E 2.0 have an updated pin location as well as are now height adjustable in more increments for fine-tuning and maximum rear grip

     

    ->->
    Square Insert Pills and Narrower Rear Pivots
    Square Insert Pills and Narrower Rear Pivots

    All pivot mounts have been updated to use square pills to offer more tunability. 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 better-balanced front to rear.

     

    7075 3mm Aluminium Chassis
    7075 3mm Aluminium Chassis

    The chassis is new to the 8IGHT-X/E 2.0 and is made from 7075 3mm thick aluminium and hard anodized for the best wear possible. The chassis is also milled out deeper to allow for more flex and the lightest 1/8 chassis to date.

     

    ->->
    Centre Diff Setup
    Centre Diff Setup

    The centre diff mount is a new moulded composite piece offering more rigidity and the new integrated mount for the throttle servo is lighter. The E buggy side will be handled using an updated center diff setup 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
    Front and Rear Shock Tower

    The rear shock tower works with the new rear gearbox and pivots. The front shock tower is shorter to decrease the front chassis roll as well as lower the CG. Both have been lightened, new camber link mounting positions, as well as shock mounting positions to provide the tunability and durability racers, are looking for.

     

    ->->
    Better Diff Access
    Better Diff Access

    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.

    Steering Rack
    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.

     

    Wing Mount
    Wing Mount

    8IGHT-X/E 2.0 uses the wing mount from the 8IGHT-X Truggy that offers different heights and positions for ultimate traction control.

     

    ->->
    Optimized Shocks
    Optimized 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
    Insert/Truss Suspension Arms

    Long front and rear arms provide great bump handling and stability. The arms are stronger using a truss-style base as well as upper stiffener plates to adjust flex for full tuning abilities. Bushings are used for the inner hinge pin area to provide a worry-free, smooth function at all times.

     

    ->->
    Gear Differential

    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 entyre run along with quicker acceleration and longer run times.

     

    Suspension Geometry
    Suspension Geometry

    The 8IGHT-X/E 2.0 next-generation suspension geometry has further been updated making a car that is fast, nimble, and even easier to drive. This includes a myriad of updates including, a wider front pivot with less scrub radius, narrower rear pivot, and updated hub offset, longer suspension arms, and more suspension mounting locations.

     

    ->->
    Adjustable Caster Blocks
    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.
