There's a bunch of other changes too...


- The turnbuckles are lighter.
- All of the hardware is now black.
- The new fuel tank (still clunk style) is IFMAR and EFRA legal.
- New front caster blocks with additional adjustment holes.
- New rear hubs.
- New rear outer hingepins now 3-millimeters thick (original 8IGHT= 2.5mm)
- New brake discs.
- Machined slots in the chassis help align the engine mounts, so you know your engine is perfectly straight. This ensures proper gear mesh.
- Swaybars are now etched for quick identification.
- New servo tray places the throttle servo 7-millimeters further from the engine. This allows room for additional bracing to prevent the throttle servo from flexing under load.
- New body is smaller and the engine's cooling head is completely exposed for better cooling.

And the ones we already mentioned..

- It's even lighter!
- The chassis is longer.
- The chassis, shock towers and rest of the aluminum components are all now anodized black.
- The shock towers are 25% lighter.

So it's a new chassis, new shock towers, new turnbuckles, new caster blocks, new rear hubs, new sway bars, new disc brakes, new fuel tank, new outer rear hingepins which must mean new rear arms to fit the hingepins, new body, and a new servo tray. Either that's a heck of an expensive conversion kit, or that's a whole new buggy! Makes me wonder if there will be an 8ight-E 2.0 not after too long...
