Team LOSI 8IGHT 1/8 Buggy - Real Review GOOD & BAD - First Start & Run - Should You Buy It?

[@adamj3606]

👍👍👍 always look forward to your videos. Great review! Never feel like I'm being lied to with your content. Best channel on KZbin!!!!! Nitrogang!!!!

[@manuelmaldonado6304]

I predict in the future you may giving a Hobao buggy a chance! Great Video!

[@ofnachix]

Hobao are the BEST !!

[@redblue40rc33]

I got the hyper 7 tq converted to 6s brushless.......it's a rolls Royce...my next project is the hobao hyper 7 with the macstart 28 nitro engine

[@jukkaovaskainen]

For a moment, when introduction of buggy, did i heard a artist from my country. I think i heard it right 🤔 Thanks for sharing that review

[@mattfavor2940]

So if u decide to ever change from pull start to closed backplate/starter box then there is an engine mount from the tlr 8 4.0 I believe(maybe the 3.0,one of those) that actually drops the engine down some so the flywheel sits farther down for the starter box. That flywheel is actually 1/8 buggy/truggy standard size. Keep up the sickening vids bro!

[@ian3166]

They discontinued the engine mounts. How are people supposed to convert to starter boxes now? Scrounging around ebay? Luckily I got mine before that.

[@stilltlrforlife]

@@ian3166 Thats how it goes in R/C, especially for the basher as most support is based around the competitive racers that stay on top of the updated equipment. Especially since they made it so much easier for peoplr to get sponsored, thats how they make their profits, it is so competitive even for the manufacturers, the vehicles and parts get outdated every few years to make room for a new model. I know it sucks but its how its been forever in the R/C lifestyle.

[@P.Trick93]

I hope Nitros will be built for a long time still

[@matticus6339]

Me to. Electrics are ok but for me I love 2 stroke engines and that's part of the fun for me, electric takes all that away.

[@michaelinzitari]

Nimh receiver pack included, WOW! Stone clunk filter in the tank, WOW! A cheap Chinese engine that will always be available forever, good choice! Features like this make the competition wake up and take notice!

[@hybrid32494]

hey Corporate Nitro! yes, the Nimh pack being included is quite useful, not something that HPI cares about anymore, unfortunately. the only think I forgot to mention as a bad part here was the fact that the body cost about 70-80 bucks, lol. They r crazy!!

[@michaelinzitari]

$80 for a buggy bodyshell. That’s corporate gouging. The pricing regulator needs a whistle blower to lodge an official complaint so the FBI can start an investigation. That’s an 8000% mark up. It corporate corruption gone wild. It’s the reason why corporate nitro gets a bad rep. Luckily we will outsource the body shells to an alternative Chinese manaufacuter to create competition which leads to a utopian nitro experience for savvy investors. #corporateNitro

[@bobbydirtamiyer2151]

At least it appears you can get rid of the plastic steering arms and put in some real adjustable turnbuckles. After you replace all those and upgrade to some aluminum shocks, seems like it has some good potential.

[@manuelmaldonado6304]

I watched this video at 32 frames a second in honor of the Losi buggy top speed. Haha

[@superaidenproductions1870]

Just noticed you got a 053 with it, definitely put it on, I have it on my 8ight t with the stock .28 and man it wakes it up!

[@hybrid32494]

yes! That pipe was one of the reasons I got this whole thing to begin with!.. Good eye!! The NitroGang does not miss a thing, lol right..

[@rhec4208]

Put a 2s lipo hump pack in there and you’ll get twice the power out of those service

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! yes, that is a possibility, I've seen it done. But not worth the investment for me at this time, I'm satisfied with the servos as they are. Thanks for watching bro! A running video is coming out soon on this thing

[@Edward3DFX]

Amazing video, really cool cinematography

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! thanks so much! Glad you appreciated the video, im recording a very good REAL run video with this in the next few days. Just wait till you see this thing when it's tuned and on a proper soccer field, it will blow you away.

[@djevans8995]

Hybride . Are u still using the spectrum receiver in that ?

[@nitroneal48]

They have motor mounts that lowers the motor so you can use a starter box

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! yes, you're right about that. I just dont think they really should have done that, it seems like an obvious barrier and a way to get you to buy extra parts, you know. That was my point. But yes, you're 100% right. BTW, I've driven this buggy since, and I pretty much LOVE it, but it' slow.

[@stilltlrforlife]

You could just drill your own hole in the rear body mount to reposition the clip.

[@layback209fixorsmash3]

Great vid enjoyed it. Buggy/truggy tip, bathtub enlargen the rear body mount hole. The chassis is designed to flex and if the body is fixed it takes the flexing through the shock tower body mounts. Breaks/cracks right there. But if you allow the body to slide at the mount by turning thr lexzn hole into a bath tub your golden. Body will last much longer. Happy ripping.

[@rcnitrousrc7001]

Nice hybrid just got me an ofna hyper 7 1/8 scale .26 picco very excited haven’t been able to run it

[@jasonmcwilliams143]

Bro when are we going to see the Losi speed nt I know you got one or know somebody with one I can’t find one anywhere I got the Losi 8truggie rtr great

[@rcalltypes8230]

Awesome deal! For a 1/8 scale Losi 8ight buggy! You can use Losi TLR Options, if or when something fails.

[@nighthawkj30A4]

Wish it had a charge jack on the battery box. Like some other RC nitro brands. Im sure you can just buy a receiver battery charge harness. Just wish it was included.

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude, yes, I know exactly what you mean. The easiest thing to do would be to buy a new power switch that includes a separate charge port for your battery. I use only these type of power switches, this way you don't need to buy specialty batteries and simply just charge though the external plug.

[@nomusicrc]

Looks like you were the fastest one at the track Did you do anything to your grapevines or did they just lose all their leaves

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude! yes, I could have ripped all though electrics there, but let me tell you this, it's not something I'm very proud of. They were mostly all brushed XL-5 models. LOL. About the grapes, in the winter the leaves alway off completely, they regrow in the warmer weather. Will be interesting to see the transformation as it warms up, I know you will keep an eye on that fence, llol..

[@LawrenceTimme]

The temp doesn't matter. If it's tuned it's tuned

Do you recommend the buggy or the truggy?

I got one bro. Make nitro great again. This is my second nitro but first owned. Two Losing 8ight T and B

I have one just like yours the engined has zero compression out of the box really bummed about it !

[@amandagaleano1868]

Is it single speed?

[@darrylmonroe2832]

Just tie a small zip tie in the body pin cut the pull tab long as you want easy and convenient

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! great suggestion, I do this on other RCs sometimes too. I was just making a point of the fact that they could have simply swisted the body clip mount by 90 degrees like they did in the front, you know. Just an observation, but you're 100% right bro. thanks!>

[@savxeno]

I’m a buggy fan boy always have been X-ray anayway just ordered traxxas maxx

[@MrAnthony1313]

I have the 8t with the 427 on it. That thing screams.

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! Question for you, how about the gearing?? The top speed I get on this is only 30 MPH. The stock clutch bell is 17T on this model, that means I'd have a small chance in gearing up, I would have to get a smaller spur, what are your thoughts? Considering the 21 in this is staying as it is.

[@thercguy2428]

Thats a nice buggy i have the losi xe and havent used it for 2 years since getting back into the nitro side id like one of these buggies i like the body shell that it comes id like to get myself a losi nitro buggy one day

[@Corkyramano42]

Honestly think the Kyosho ready set Inferno is a better deal brand new.

[@josephwatkins2335]

Nice bro!😀

[@hybrid32494]

whats up bro! Thanks! This was the day I got this thing, forgot to release this video form back then, lol. Anyways, it's still good, gotta run it for real soon and Check the speed.

[@dimakowahl]

Great machine! I have it myself and that's what I'm talking about. I have an electric one from REELY GENERATION X.

[@Cuervo0]

Anyone know if it has a 2 speed transmission?

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! Buggies like this almost never have a 2-speed setup, it's very very uncommon. There are some on-road based models that use a buggy platform that do have a 2-speed though. If you want more speed it's best to simply get a taller clutch bell.

[@johncullinane4868]

If you need lower engine mounts to run bump box let me know I will give them to you my dude

I wish I had bought this two years ago when it was $350. Now it's almost $500 and that price makes me weigh it against the Kyosho MP9 TK14. I'm on the fence! Lol

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! I know exactly what you mean, I wish I bought one brand New Years ago too. This one I purchased used, I got pretty lucky with the price, but you just never know the risk involved with used nitro. The kyosho is nice too.

[@rccrazymike]

Nice content 👌 👏

[@ratherbeflying101]

You buy the thing for 700.00 new, then you spend another 3 grand if you want good racing hop ups.

[@madrich2018]

Yeah but since they raised the price to $450-470$ Sadly now it's not worth it in my opinion now for a deal like yours for $250 that's a great price especially since it only had a a few tanks ran through it, I was going to get it when it first came out when it was around $350, but I waited too long the price is starting going on so I ended up getting to kyosho inferno neo 3.0. but I still haven't broken that and because I got it so when my Losi 8ight buggy v1 w/the 427 engine gos bad I'm going to clean it up and put it on the shelf

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! yes, the rent price hike has also pissed me off, that's why I tried to get this thing used. Also it looks like the older cheaper KYOSHO buggies are all out of stock or soon to be discontinued I would say, and they also went up in price unfortunately. $350 was the sweet spot for this thing, I totally agree with that. At least these are usually in-stock unlike most KYOSHO products these days.

[@madrich2018]

@@hybrid32494 yeah Kyosho pissed me off with the inferno gt2 so much slop in the suspension and the steering, and plastic shock towers on a $600 vehicle, their buggy is a lot better quality other than the plastic spur gear, but hey man great video like always!

You don't " shut them down" like that you are just flooding it. Pinch the fuel line at the carb it helps with tuning and the proper way bc you can't get your foot in the flywheel.....nitro gang

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude! how you doing! you're 100% right on the shut down method. I only did that for this video due to needing to make it fast and hurry with the recording process, you know. In some videos you will notice I do pinch the fuel line. thanks for pointing that out bro, I hope people see this comment and do it like that going forward themselves..
