The tradition of winning and dedication to superior engineering continue with one of racing's most famous buggies. Building upon the heritage of the 8IGHT buggy, the 8IGHT 3.0 elevates perfection and is poised to dominate the track. Guided by some of racing's top drivers worldwide, the 8IGHT 3.0 buggy was designed to be the superior choice in 1/8-scale off-road buggy racing and a true contender for the world stage.
KEY FEATURES
Improved suspension geometry
Gen III Radio Tray with Metal Servo Inserts
16mm Shocks with improved Ti-CN shaft coating and Tapered Springs
Adjustable aluminium front and rear pivots with inserts
Front and Rear Centre Dogbone
Brake caliper springs imrpove brake release for increased control
New and Improved Body & Wing with Wickerbill option for increased rear traction and stability
Ti-CN coated Hinge Pins and Shock Shafts
Lightweight outdrives
5mm turnbuckles
Improved droop screw system minimises chassis
Two sets of wheels are included in the box
Improved Suspension Geometry
Refined and optimized suspension geometry for improved wheel clearance. New front spindles and spindle carriers provide decreased dogbone plunge into the outdrive, which provides more consistent handling on all track surfaces. The spindle carriers now have 15 degrees of caster and offer better bump handling and smoother steering response. Front and rear shock towers have simplified camber locations for quick and easy tuning.
Large-Bore 16mm Shocks with Tapered Springs
Larger shocks provide easier tuning regardless of temperature changes. Machine pistons are included for greater precision and increased performance. Tapered shock springs allow for greater clearance between the suspension arm and the shock cup, greatly decreasing the chances of the spring cups from popping off under extreme impacts.
8IGHT 3.0 Body & Wing
The new body accommodates the revised chassis layout in addition to increased performance. The rear wing features larger side plates and improved air flow for greater downforce. Two included wickerbills accommodate various track conditions for increased downforce. Also included are two sets of wing spacers that move the wing further back on the car for more aerodynamic tuning.
Center Dogbone Drive System
Front- and rear-center dogbones eliminate the friction of a CV coupler and reduce the bind caused after the front center CV coupler wears.
Optional Parts Included
Many optional parts are included with the 8IGHT 3.0, including lightweight outdrives, lightweight 48T spur gear, adjustable hinge pin braces and aluminum rear bearing inserts.
Gen III Radio Tray
Gen III radio tray provides improved weight distribution of vehicle and greatly enhances servo life.
Ball bearing steering provides precise throttle feel
Molded index points improve accuracy with linkage alignment
Switch relocation improves On/Off switch access
Metal J-Nut secures battery box and increases radio tray life during chassis flex
Large-Bore 16mm Shocks with Tapered Springs
