I pretty much feel the same. I don't like the look of the black stuff..

Though on the other hand... hmm.. I don't know. Might look cool all black with electric stuff in it :)

Don't think there will be a conversion kit though. They wanted $99 for the Flex Chassis. They would want alot for new towers, chassis, turnbuckles etc.

Yeah definitely. It's clearly a whole new car. I wonder what other goodies they'll add before it goes in to full production...

Probably be a while before it goes into production. They got alot of kits/goodies coming out in the next two months (8ight-e, brushless kits, l8ight, slider, 1/18 desert truck etc.)

Have to say it looks very nice for you Losi guys .

My hot bodies D8 is on it's way , but i do like the Mugen MBX6 and the Losi 2.0.

I can't remember were i read it but i do believe the 2.0 will be available as a roller after the worlds .

I have no way to confirm a date but my lhs told me 10/10/08 for the version 2. I was asking him about getting the 8ight race roller and he recommended waiting till then for the new one.

It surely can't be out that soon. That is before other kits waiting to come out - High Roller - L8ight - 8ight-E - Desert Truck 1/18 and whatever is also on its way

There is a mysterious ad in one of the RC Magazines from Losi about how something changed the "Worlds" and is coming on 9/25/08...If I were betting I'd say this is the announce day of the 8ight 2.0. Kind of a gamble, they are hoping it wins the worlds. Good thing Truhe is on fire.

Really wanted the 8ight 1.0 to win the Worlds but 8IGHT 2.0 will be alright

Now posted on Losi's website

I bet they really wish they could have wrote that it won the worlds... not just TQ'D... :wink:

The 8ight 2.0 is now up on Losi's website. It says the shock towers are lighter, but they don't say anything about the chassis being lighter.

Also on A-Main Hobbies now...

Okay so I was a little off on the release date but not really that bad. I saw told 10/10 and they have it listed as 11/1. Still very great since it was only a few weeks ago that we even saw good pictures of the v2.
