thats the importers brother who did the conversion and write up. He is very competitive with the car. I'll ask him tomorrow about the handling. I'll run a few packs on his car to determine for myself also.

Do you have any videos of the electric buggy?

I have been looking all over youtube and also cant seem to find one.

I dont any exist as there is only 1 RR8E on the planet right now. I'll ask the owner if he has any video of his ebuggy.

That would be really cool to see, I can see that happening. They should use the same layout( electronics, motor,fuel tank) looks really clean.

Thought I should get a thread going here. I have been running my nitro RR8 for a bit now, and wanted to try something different for my e-buggy. If you're not familiar with the Radiosistemi brand, or the buggy, check over (click here) on the nitro buggy thread. Radiosistemi (formerly Crono RS) has been making vehicles in Italy for longer than most of today's brands have been around.

To get to my conversion, I wanted to keep it relatively simple, but do something a little different. I had been running shorties in series in my DEX408 and knew they would be fine for the 10min mains, the class always is. For this buggy I wanted it perfectly balanced. I know most buggies with a standard 4s, even those with the motor and esc on the same side, are heavy on the battery side. So with only 2 shorties on one side, and everything else on the other, it should be near balanced left-to-right. The results are also an extremely low CG.

As far as keeping it simple I wanted to have to drill as minimally into the chassis as possible. I ended up only have to drill one hole for the battery tray, and two hole for the servo mounts. I'll give a list of what parts I used/different from the stock kit.

As always, if anyone as questions, wants some more specific pics, please ask!


Losi 8ight-E battery tray [LOSA4461] (milled out the rear a little to fit and shortened.)
Tekno 2s Strap set [TKR40008K]
Random Losi engine mount (I cut up to use as a backstop for the rear shorty. Added a post with a clip to keep the batt locked in)
HPI Trophy motor mount [HPI101674] (milled just slightly to clear mudguard. Painted black)
Sworkz Center Diff Mount [SWX-2501124]
Sworkz Center Diff Plate [SWX-300023] (painted black)
Team Durango center diff case and gears (used in conjunction with stock outdrives and spur gear. One 8x16x4 bearing, shimmed to fit, one standard 8x16x5)
Tekno V3/V4 Servo Mounts [TKR400011] (drilled 2 holes for the outside mount, used one existing on the inside hole)



On to the pics! Nitro and E-buggy;

Here's what you'll need to do a simple conversion:

- Losi 8ight-E Battery Tray (LOSA4461) (cut out the rear to fit the ESC)
- HPI Trophy motor mount (HPI101674)
- HPI Trophy Diff Mount (HPI101011)
- HPI Trophy Diff Top Plate (HPI101673)
- 8x16x4 Bearings (Replaces stock 8x14x4 bearings on diffs)

You can also use the SWorkz Parts if you'd like, in place of the HPI stuff

- Sworkz Motor Mount (SWX-330236)
- Sworkz Diff Mount (SWX-2501124)
- Sworkz Diff Top Plate (SWX-300023 or SWX-330

This car seems like it has a ton of potential, it looks well built.

The car is very responsive to setup changes. But one of the things I noticed is that it doesnt require alot of changes to get right. Its what I call a trunk weapon(pull it from the trunk and battle) Its not the Serpent or any other car that needs a ton of changes depending on the track. One of the other good things about this buggy. The car sells for 729.99 on Todd's site IMBUEMOTORSPORTS.COM and I think its worth that. If will outlast the Kyosho 3 to 1. I drove Kyosho from the 7.5 KIII all the way through the MP9 and the quality of the K car has diminished. Great platform and geometry but the metals and plastics and not as stout as they used to be.  But if you are interested in the RR8 let me know.

I've been reading the RR8 thread and found some good information on the RR8 buggy. I'm interested in purchasing the RR8 buggy but can't seem to find the RR8 his website. Do you know anyone else that sells the RR8?

Mike,



I think they might stop selling the car in the USA, I have been looking around and I cant find anything.
