New Losi 8ight 2.0 'EU' - 8th Nitro Buggy.

[jimmy]

Losi sent news of their new 'EU' 8ight 2.0 buggy - which features updated and changes for the European market.

The new Losi 8ight 2.0 EU Race Buggy is the result of many months of collaboration with our European Race Team. Designed specifically for the European market, the 8ight 2.0 EU features revised suspension geometry to help increase side-bite and traction through your longer turns. Adding more front caster angle also helps keep the 8ight 2.0 EU tighter as you power out of those turns and improves straight-line stability which is also helped by the re-sculpted body shell that is designed to channel air more effectively than before.

Our legendary dampers now come fitted with internal volume compensators, which help you from grounding out when landing big hits when you’re running your suspension softer so that it handles the bumps and ruts that are typical on the European circuits. As racers ourselves, we know that you often want to build your car up initially – so that you know what fluids and settings it has so we’ve listened and the 8ight 2.0 EU is available only in kit form – also leaving you to decide what wheels and tyres work best for you.
To be honest, there’s a whole host of detail changes – all designed especially for EU.

Looks nice. Wonder if it will actually be much different on the track, or if it is just to get Losi 2.0 owners to spend more on Losi kits/parts. LOL.
