Kevin The tradition of winning and dedication to superior engineering continue with one of racing’s most famous buggies. Building upon the heritage of the 8IGHT™ buggy, the 8IGHT 3.0 elevates perfection and is poised to dominate the track. Guided by some of racing’s top drivers worldwide, the 8IGHT 3.0 buggy was designed to be the superior choice in 1/8-scale off-road buggy racing and a true contender for the world stage.

Improved Suspension Geometry
Refined and optimized suspension geometry for improved wheel clearance. New front spindles and spindle carriers provide decreased dogbone plunge into the outdrive, which provides more consistent handling on all track surfaces. The spindle carriers now have 15 degrees of caster and offer better bump handling and smoother steering response. Front and rear shock towers have simplified camber locations for quick and easy tuning.
Optional Parts Included
Many optional parts are included with the 8IGHT 3.0, including lightweight outdrives, lightweight 48T spur gear, adjustable hinge pin braces and aluminum rear bearing inserts.
Large-Bore 16mm Shocks with Tapered Springs
Larger shocks provide easier tuning regardless of temperature changes. Machine pistons are included for greater precision and increased performance. Tapered shock springs allow for greater clearance between the suspension arm and the shock cup, greatly decreasing the chances of the spring cups from popping off under extreme impacts.
Gen III Radio Tray
Gen III radio tray provides improved weight distribution of vehicle and greatly enhances servo life.
- Ball bearing steering provides precise throttle feel
- Molded index points improve accuracy with linkage alignment
- Switch relocation improves On/Off switch access
- Metal J-Nut secures battery box and increases radio tray life during chassis flex
