TLR have introduced their new 8IGHT-XT/XTE 1/8th scale truggy kit that includes both nitro and electric specific components in one box. The Next Generation Truggy builds on the championship-winning heritage of its predecessors with updates to the suspension geometry and drivetrain as well as the chassis layout that make it both easier to drive and tougher to beat. Plus, it includes Nitro and Electric in one box. The 8IGHT-XT/XTE has a combination of features second-to-none including large footprint engine mount, 3mm chassis, cab forward body, machined aluminuim shock caps, and so much more. The Next Gen suspension geometry has been completely revamped making a truck that is fast, nimble, and easy to drive. This includes a myriad of updates including wider front pivot with less scrub radius, narrower rear pivot, longer front and rear arms, and updated hub offset. All new suspension arms have been designed to accept stiffener plates that will allow racers to tune the flex of the suspension. The kit will include moulded plates with optional carbon fibre plates available separately.

The chassis width has been increased to aid in stability and give the truggy a more neutral feel as well as equalized side to side for equal torsional flex and thinned down to 3mm for weight savings. The additional width helps with stability and adds a neutral feel. A lightweight large footprint engine mount reduces flex underneath the engine to eliminate chassis fatigue on high traction race surfaces for nitro while an updated radio tray now puts the throttle servo near the engine to eliminate additional linkage. The updated radio tray will ensure the throttle servo is rigidly mounted to avoid any flex by floating the servo off of the center differential.

Features
– Nitro and electric parts included
– Improved suspension geometry
– Flex tune suspension arms
– Wider 3mm chassis
– Larger pinion bearing
– Cab forward style body
– Chassis side guards
– Large footprint nitro engine mount
– One piece electric motor mount
– Adjustable caster blocks
– Bleeder shock caps
– Balanced chassis
– Ackermann adjustable draglink steering rack
– Machined aluminum shock towers

Coming from PN Racing and made for the Kyosho Mini-Z 2WD and similar palm-sized on-road cars are machined 6-spoke wheels. The white colour rims are available in narrow, medium and wide specifications to suit all tyres and track width settings. While offering a cool and sturdy design their construction allows to add different diameter carbon fibre outer slip rings that do away with the need to add unsightly CA glue walls in order to counter traction rolling in high-bite track conditions. Instead the carbon fibre rings can be attached to the outside, not only helping against traction rolling but also reinforcing the sidewall of the tyre for improved durability.
