Losi 8 E 2.0

[DaveG28]

Does anyone know is it true this only comes as a race roller, not in kit form?

Sounds great, comes with ESC and Motor with it, but wondered if it used crappy bits all over the car??

Its the full spec 2.0 but with the electric conversion/esc etc. Losi only do the crappy shock towers etc on the RTR nitro 8ights and if its called "race roller" then thats the full spec just pre built.

The race roller is just a ready built version of a cracking car dave. Don't think the 2.0 is available as a kit but i am not positive. Very good car, you'll love it!!!!!!!
Let me know where you get the E from, as i am very tempted to get one of those:thumbsup:

[DaveG28]

Will do if I go for it mate!

Is parts supply here in the UK ok for the eight 2.0??

[GRIFF55]

parts are fine, horizon will get anything to a shop for you mate.
I think M-K has a good range too:thumbsup:

They are very robust, so there won't be many breakages!!

[DaveG28]

Is anyone in the UK selling them?

I've never been afraid of shopping abroad but the import duty is a bit scary....

[GRIFF55]

Not sure to be honest mate, but i'm sure a shop could get you one through horizon.

last time i checked the old 8-e was £650 so i think the new one will be more

[GRIFF55]

Where did you get the car from in the end Dave?? i may be on the hunt for one, rc8 or losi, not sure yet.
I hear you did quite well with your last time out (swindon i think?), but were the only leccy there:(
How do you manage on the log finals, is it a battery change?

[DaveG28]

Hi Andy, you mean me?

Got an awesome deal from Losipartshouse, and it's run great since I've had it! Plus no maintenance or breakage in about 7 days running!!

Battery swap is a pain, but a bit of kidding would make it quick release. I can do 15 mins on a 5000mah 4s battery too! As stock you'll never win a final longer than 15mins due to the battery change, but with a none stAndard way of removing the cell you'd be sorted!!

[GRIFF55]

you got one of the guys from our club here, who were racing at the last meeting you raced at wanting one!! They said it was going really well:thumbsup:
