I saw the 8ight truggy at Ihobby today, definately a cool looking truck. They didn't demonstate it though, so I couldn't see performance. From the looks it seems like it's gonna be pretty popular. We need a vid though to see performance.

I'm guessing that this is a kit version of the team losi muggy which is on Horizon Hobby already and is shipping.

no, the Muggy's much heavier. This is based on the 8ight buggy but with longer A-arms, bigger wheels and tires, diff gearing, body etc.

Where did you hear that? Aaron Waldron is saying that Losi is shooting for a pre-Christmas (this year) release in the following thread

yup, this thing was already raced by Adam Drake at the ROAR truck nats. the new Hyper 8 truggy was also out there as well.

both kits ended up in the A-main, Adam Drake i believe took Top Qualifyer, BUT Scott Hughes won the A-main without a question with the new Mugen MBX5T. i heard he killed the A-main, well i saw the video so it was true lol

it's a pre-built kit. I think it's a bad idea, but who knows

Ok...Am I the only one that see's trouble on the horizion for this Truggy? First Off...dont get me wrong...it's a nice tooking RC...but have you all taken a closer look at the upper arms...or lack there of? Hmmm? Looks a little weak. Take a real long look at the Mugen MBX5T..GS's New XUT....maybe even Kyosho's 777 ST-R...A Arms...and a whole lot more upper support and durability. again it looks good...but in my Losi experiance...they're really targeted towards the racer..and the guy without a buget...not the
