Key Features
- Snap-Together Design — The stand features an innovative snap-together construction that requires zero tools to assemble or disassemble, making it incredibly quick to set up at the track or put away at home. This design also makes the stand extremely portable, fitting easily into toolboxes, pit bags, or the boot of your car for transport to competitions and events.
- Compatible with 8IGHT and 8IGHT-T — Purpose-built to work perfectly with both the Losi 8IGHT and 8IGHT-T 1/8 scale buggies, this stand is specifically engineered to accommodate the unique chassis geometry and wheelbase of these models. The stand's design ensures your buggy sits at the optimal angle for working on all mechanical systems.
- No-Slip Secure Hold — The stand features a no-slip design that keeps your chassis firmly in place whilst you work, preventing any unwanted movement or shifting that could damage your RC car or create safety hazards. This secure hold gives you confidence when making adjustments or performing maintenance, knowing your buggy won't roll or tip unexpectedly.
- Built-In Shock Holders — Integrated shock holders keep your vehicle's shocks properly positioned and prevent them from rolling around during fluid changes and maintenance work. This feature is particularly valuable when you're performing suspension fluid changes, as it keeps the shocks accessible and prevents spills or lost components.
- Economical Pricing — The affordable price point makes it practical to own multiple stands—one for your home workshop and another for your pit box at the track. This multi-stand approach means you're never without a stand when you need one, regardless of where you're working on your RC buggy.
Technical Performance
The Losi 8IGHT/T Car Stand is engineered with the competitive racer in mind, utilising durable construction materials that withstand the demands of intensive pit use.
