New from Losi (http://www.losi.com):

The 1/8-scale L8IGHT Model Race Roller is professionally developed and tuned specifically for dirt oval racing. Featuring realistic appearance and performance features modeled after full-scale dirt oval vehicles, the L8IGHT model is a completely assembled dirt oval race roller in one box.

The L8IGHT Model features front and rear shock towers that were specifically designed for dirt oval racing. These shock towers allow specific adjustments for different styles of dirt oval tracks and for both foam and rubber tires. The aluminum big-bore shocks are filled with silicone fluid and use precision coil springs designed for dirt oval racing.

This vehicle utilizes oversized, molded body mounts to securely hold the large body in place and to better endure wall bumps and impacts from other cars during racing. The molded front bumper and foam reinforcements help to absorb shocks and protect the front-end from crash impacts.

The L8IGHT Model also features a Late Model aerodynamic body. This body was designed to provide stability with excellent steering and tracking characteristics. Front grill and headlight decals as well as window masks to paint the body are included with the vehicle. Low profile GRP rubber racing tires mounted on yellow Losi wheels provide the traction needed for oval racing and will meet proposed "Spec" racing rules.

Pretty cool. Another chassis re-use but for once I agree with it from Losi. That should be one mean oval car.

I cant waite to get those shock towers, body mounts, and rear shocks to convert mt 8ight inot a GT racer!! Now that PrtoForm has the new GT body it will compete the package. I love it when only a few parts get me a whole new car!!

Hopefully it won't take much to convert the buggy over to this. Will be nice if the bodies off the Inferno GT fit
