Contemplating a Losi 8ight, any thoughts.

[hootie7159]

The 8ight is a great brushless buggy platform to use and it is super durable....i've had my 8ight for a while now and have learned to race and use the jumps at my local track and there are several huge jumps and in the beginning i rarely landed on my wheels....fast forward to 6 months later and the only thing i've broken is a rear hub carrier and a wing mount both $15.00 fixes....and +1 in terms of breaking it down to clean it and re building all the diffs and shocks.....and i wouldn't waste my time on the 8xl or 9xl, they both do run hot and they cogg....i'd save up for a Neu 1512 2.d or a Neu 1515 1/y/f....or you can get the new losi 2100kv motors out there...the Neu's will definitly last long and they are super smooth with the MM....and when all is said an done you can make at least $100 selling all the nitro stuff your not going to use :)
