Garry Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 On-Power stability meets cornering agility. The all new LRP S8 BX is the ultimate high-performance 1/8 Offroad Buggy and will satisfy your thirst of adrenalin. With its unique “Blue is better” design, the S8 BX Team is the latest high-end competition buggy available with some unique features never seen before. The special angled engine mount and the centre line position of its radio components guarantee a optimum weight distribution. Due to this centred chassis layout the S8 BX is easy to handle and the cornering ability is outstanding, especially through chicanes it will amaze you! The revolutionary rear suspension design with active caster gives the car an improved shock absorbing characteristic and makes stability and agility a standard feature. The new system results in smoother and better handling even under roughest track conditions. The S8 BX is completely realised in no e-clip design. Whilst providing great stability and plenty of on power traction it offers agility at the highest level, both off power and in the corners. The LRP S8 BX also features some great innovations making the car extremely reliable. Rubber inserts in the suspension arms and an exclusive anti torsion boot on the front-upper arm decrease the wear and tear of the suspension and reduces the flex at the same time. The super save steering linkage design with double mounted inner ball-end and special flanged screws on the knuckles makes it impossible to loose your steering linkage due to impact. Specially developed plastic is used, designed to survive the roughest tracks and the biggest jumps. Combining this with the highest quality 7075 T6 Swiss Aluminium used for the 3mm main chassis and for the cool blue aluminium parts in the car, it makes the car virtually indestructible. The brake system of the LRP S8 BX is based on real automobile brake design. Equipped with brake calliper, piston and a 36mm oversize vented steel brake disc this all new brake system provides perfect brake sensitivity and maximum brake power! This outstanding patent pending brake system is directly mounted at the rear differential outdrive and therefore features 2 universal joints less which leads to a more direct brake response. Neither slippery surfaces nor high-grip tracks will make the S8 BX unbalance during braking – this system makes the LRP S8 BX super stable at any surfaces the 1/8 Offroad scene can offer.

Mr Terminator Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I like LRP stuff,the engines are especially good so it's nice to see a quality looking buggy from a different manufacturer.Like to see a RTR version to see how they compare with the mainstream boys....

smithy1135 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Im not liking the look of the whole new brake system thing, might be prone to damage with the longer linkages. Other than that it looks pretty nice, very Losi 8 like though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lammis Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Hi! Does this care come with a pullstart or rotostart? Anyone who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy1135 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 It will most likely come as a kit, so will be a roller with no engine or radio gear. If it does come as RTR then it will, most probably be pull start... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richhrly Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I like the look of this, the cantered engine will help the whole weight-center thing a fair amount.. quite smart thinking imo. Also I'm quite tempted by the different brakes, i'm sure they'll provide a far harder response. If only I had the space to run nitro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT MarkyMark Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) Hi! Does this care come with a pullstart or rotostart? Anyone who knows? Hi Ive got the team and the RTR buggy and on the Team buggy you add your own engine so depends what is on it, and the RTR comes with a pull start but it easy and not really expensive to change Edited September 21, 2009 by DT MarkyMark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
