It would be a bold move if this is a Losi creation. Back in the old days Losi was only electric and when they first released the 8ight I was a small bit surprised they didn't roll out an electric brother...guess that would have been far too cutting edge. Oh well I really hope this comes to be, it would be a huge boost to our segment of the hobby.

Just saw this on another forum a couple hours ago. I think its great for us electric guys. I have already had an electric 8 and 8t so I dont think I will buy one but I am still interested to see what changes they made compared to the nitro version. I am especially interested to see if they added any kind of slipper.

Who currently manufacturers the brushless ESC's and Motors that Losi is selling for their 10th and 36th scale vehicles?

Are they going to use them to create the ESC for the 8th scale?

The Losi brushless setups now look like the fegaio esc's. Sorry i can't find the link i had. I think Lutach has one.

Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

A few years back Losi use to make some RTR vehicles with the Novak SS4300, maybe Novak and Losi and coming together again and putting the Novak kit and HV-Maxx in a 8?
Although there is a rumor going around that the motor spotted in the buggy was a larger xcelorin motor

Wonder if they will use direct drive center diff, without slipper?
Or will they steal the slipperdiff idea?

If they do, people will be lining up to get hold of that bad boy.

Any ideas when Mike will have his slipperential ready?

If they want to use it, they will likely be paying me royalties- I am in the midst of a patent application for the slipperential. :)

The slipperential is in production phase now - shooting for release in about a month. :)

Great to hear that its almost ready. I remember you had it at my local track last summer but obviously you still had more testing to do. Anyways can you give us any estimated price? thanks
