Default Newer version of the 8ight???

Hey guys and gals... anyone have the scoop on the new version of the 8ight???? Just read it in the new Car Action magazine. It says the Truhe will be sporting it for the 2008 IFMAR world championships.

Wondering if I should hold off getting an 8ight, until this bad boy comes out???

Losi is not going to spill the beans to you especially before they release it . Word is that the new buggy True is driving will be released as a Worlds Edition if Losi wins the worlds .

Losi has spilled the beans on the Losi 8ight-E. I was just put up on their site this week I think.

There is another forum posted. Expensive.
