Also read on some of the forums the LOSI 8ight-E is not that reliable and at $900 I would not even consider it. In 1976 you could buy a full size Honda racing Elsinor 125cc motorcycle for $999. Guess I just dated myself.
yeah hobdean this isn't 1976 if you want an electric Losi 8ight I'd suggest you buy the nitro 8ight rtr and sell the parts you don't need(engine, pipe, starter box, etc.), and convert it to electric. Sell the unneeded parts for atleast a couple hundred and you got a top of the line ''reliable'' rolling chassis with a top of the line radio with telemetry for around $400. I think that's a pretty good deal... food for thought

$400 would be great but, after all the selling I come up with $780 total investment. Sounds like a great idea if I had 780 bucks. What about converting a used 1.0? What is the difference between 2.0 and 1.0? How would you convert a buggy into a truggy?
