A longer wheelbase, wider stance, and massive tires combine to make the Losi 8IGHT-XTE brushless racing truggy easier than a buggy to drive, and the ideal entry into 1/8 scale off-road racing. Plus, it’s based on the ROAR National Champion TLR 8IGHT-XT!

SENSORED BRUSHLESS SYSTEM
The sensored brushless system of the 8IGHT-XTE allows its 130A ESC and 2250Kv motor to communicate with each other for precise control. Performance throughout the power band is super-smooth, without the cogging or stuttering of sensorless motors when applying throttle slowly from a stop.
PRO-LINE RACING OE PARTS
Race-proven components are included in the box! The Axis 8IGHT-XTE body, Blockade Tires, and Velocity wheels are Original Equipment (OE-Spec) designs by Pro-Line that are used to compete around the world.
SPEKTRUM 2250Kv BRUSHLESS MOTOR
With a 4S LiPo battery, the installed Spektrum 2250Kv brushless motor produces more than enough raw power to get every racer’s adrenaline pumping.
SPEKTRUM DX3 TRANSMITTER
Using the throttle limiting function on the included Spektrum DX3 2.4GHz transmitter, novice racers can limit top speed to 50% or 75% of the truggy’s full potential until they’re ready to unleash it all. You can follow how much battery capacity is available on the transmitter’s Smart battery level indicator.
CHAMPIONSHIP-WINNING HERITAGE
The ready-to-run Losi 8IGHT-XTE is based on the 1/8 scale platform that won back-to-back ROAR National Champion titles, the TLR 8IGHT-X. When you’re ready to take performance to the next level, upgrade your truggy with TLR option parts!
FULLY RACE-LEGAL CHASSIS & ELECTRONICS
Just charge up your 4S LiPo battery and you can start racing today! The 8IGHT-XTE truggy’s chassis and electronics are legal for racing right out of the box. No modifications are needed.
PAINT-TO-COMPLETE CAB-FORWARD BODY
Although the 8IGHT-XTE comes ready-to-run, no other driver at the track will have a racing truggy that looks like yours. The main body section has been left clear so you can paint it in your own distinctive colors. (RC Body Paint is not included.)
SPEKTRUM S665 STEERING SERVO
The installed Spektrum S665 waterproof steering servo easily handles the demands of 1/8 scale racing with full metal gears, high torque (over 270 oz-in @ 7.4V), and a fast 0.10 second transit time. It also features an industry-standard 25T spline servo horn.
RACE-READY SPEKTRUM SR315 RECEIVER
When you want more precision from your electronics, there’s no need to install another receiver. The Spektrum SR315 lets you take advantage of other Spektrum transmitters. With a transmitter upgrade and the SR315, you can also use forward programming to tune your on-board electronics wirelessly.
ALUMINUM CHASSIS
The 4mm thick aluminum chassis of the 8IGHT-XTE gives the truggy a strong and stable foundation, as well as the durability needed to stay tough through long days of competitive racing.
FULL METAL DRIVELINE
From the axles to the ring and pinion and main center spur gear, every part of the 8IGHT-XTE 4WD’s driveline is made of heat-treated steel to survive abuse at demanding tracks throughout the world.
FLUID-FILLED & SEALED DIFFERENTIALS
The front, center, and rear differentials allow each tire to drive independently and deliver maximum racing traction. You can tune the differentials with TLR silicone diff fluids (available separately) to adapt the truggy to different tracks and conditions.
EASY ACCESS DIFFERENTIALS
The design of the Losi 8IGHT-XTE 4WD lets you remove the differentials quickly for easy trackside maintenance and tuning.
ALUMINUM SHOCK TOWERS
Strong and lightweight, these aluminum shock towers support the shock movement needed to keep your 8IGHT-XTE glued to the track. Adjust the shock position using the tuning holes to match the race track and your driving style.
ALUMINUM OIL-FILLED SHOCKS
The aluminum oil-filled shocks are threaded for easy ride height adjustments after your warm-up laps. They can also be tuned using different springs and shock oils to adjust your suspension dynamics.
FRONT & REAR SWAY BARS
Front and rear sway bars are standard on the 8IGHT-XTE. They keep your truggy’s chassis level with the track as you race through the corners.
ADJUSTABLE WING MOUNT
The wing mount can be adjusted as needed to optimize downforce and improve your grip on any track.
ADJUSTABLE STEEL TURNBUCKLES
Adjustable steel turnbuckles let you tune camber and toe to change the truggy’s handling characteristics.
