The Losi8 with the 2200 combo can be volted and geared to beat the nitro guys pretty easily. A Kyosho diff will fit the GT and GT2, but you would need to space the driveshafts and use a buggy top plate. The IGT and IGT2 are basically 1/8 buggies with a 2 speed and car body.

^^^ I second that notion. As of now, on 4s, it looks to be geared for about 45mph at the most. Most nitro on-roads are pushing well above that but their acceleration isn't nearly what you should have. With that said, you should be able to gear it up, especially running the 2200kv, to make up for those speeds and still have plenty of acceleration. You could probably gear it around 20/45 and beat up all over those nitro's. That would put you around the 58mph mark.
I don't know what size batteries you are using in the 8ight but you could definitely run 6s or 7sA123's.

Now, another suggestion I might throw in here is tires, if you're looking for a good tire to hold up at high speeds, pick up a set of Losi Rally premounts. They are amazing in traction and high speed runs.
