All of the items to run either nitro or electric included in one box.
Improved Suspension Geometry
The 8IGHT-XT/XTE 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.
Flex Tune Suspension Arms
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 molded plates with optional carbon fiber plates available separately.
Wider 3mm Chassis
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.
Larger Pinion Bearing
The internal pinion bearing size in the front and rear has been increased for added durability.
Cab forward design helps with overall down force, which improves steering and overall stability.
Chassis Side Guards
New chassis side guards that have an improved fit onto the chassis.
Large Footprint Nitro Engine Mount
Lightweight large footprint engine mount that reduces flex underneath the engine to eliminate chassis fatigue on high traction race surfaces for nitro.
One Piece Electric Motor Mount
One piece aluminum motor mount that is easy to adjust pinion sizing for electric motors.
Adjustable Caster Blocks
17.5 deg caster blocks that allow the height of the spindle to be adjusted.
Bleeder Shock Caps
Machined aluminum shock caps with threaded bleeder holes for easy and consistent bleeding of oil.
Balanced Chassis
The weight has been moved forward in the chassis to provide a better driving balance to the vehicle and less parts needed to carry.
