as you will see, we have made every effort to produce a vehicle that is not only the most competitive but also easy to maintain. The simple step-by-step 
assembly sequence and easily followed instructions and drawings combined with Team Losi Racing's world famous quality fitting parts will make using 
the 

8IGHT-T 2.0

 a most enjoyable vehicle.

well as the tools needed. Taking an extra moment before using your vehicle will help you understand the dynamics of the 8IGHT-T 2.0 and setup tips to 
ensure the best possible experience.
Good luck and good racing,

Welcome Team Losi Racing 

8IGHT-T 2.0

 Owner!

Vehicle/Manual Organization:

The vehicle is composed of different steps marked A through H. Each 

step contains all of the parts necessary to complete a particular section 

of the vehicle. Some of these steps have sub-assembly steps within them. 

It is helpful to read through the instructions for an entire step prior to 

working on your vehicle. Next to each of the step numbers is a check box. 

At the completion of each step, place a check in this box so that if you 

must stop and come back to the assembly, you will be able to pick up 

where you left off.
For your convenience, an actual-size Hardware Identification Guide is 

included as a fold-out page at the back of this manual. Hardware that 

is not easily differentiable in each step is called out with an icon which 

contains a small picture of the part genre (referenced on the Hardware 

Identification Guide), the quantity of that part required for what is shown 

in the step, and the size or name of that part. To check a part, hold it 

against the silhouette until the correct part is identified. Associated with 

each of these parts, in the Hardware Identification Guide, is an LOSA-

Number which is used when 

ordering replacement parts 

for your 8IGHT-T 2.0. In some 

cases, extra hardware has been 

supplied for parts that may be 

easy to lose.
Components used in each step 

are identified by their relative LOSA-Number and the component’s 

name. With the exception of a few parts, these are not referenced in the 

Hardware Identification Guide.
The molded parts in Team Losi Racing vehicles are manufactured to 

demanding tolerances. When screws are tightened to the point of 

being snug, the parts are held firmly in place. For this reason, it is very 

important that screws not be overtightened in any of the plastic parts.
In some steps there will be a filled black circle with a white number. 

These indicate the specific order by which assembly must occur. In cases 

where steps are repeated (front/rear or left/right) these numbers may be 

omitted. Please note that these numbers will not call out every sub-step 

required for the step’s assembly procedures, they will only highlight the 

critical order required for assembly.
In each step, there are specific “Detail Icons” (shaped like a stop sign) that 

call out critical precautions or assembly tips for the process. There is a 

reference key that describes the meaning of each of the icons located on 

the fold-out Hardware Identification Guide at the back of this manual.
To ensure that parts are not lost during construction, it is recommended 

that you work over a towel or mat to prevent parts from rolling away.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES:

1.   Select an area for assembly that is away from the reach of small 

children. 

Some parts in this vehicle are small and can be swallowed 

by children, causing choking and possible internal injury; PLEASE USE 

CAUTION!

2.   The shock fluid and greases supplied should be kept out of 

children’s reach.

 They are not intended for human consumption!

3.   Exercise care when using any hand tools, sharp instruments, or 

power tools during construction.

4.   Carefully read all manufacturer’s warnings and cautions 

for any 

chemicals, glues, or paints that may be used for assembly and 

operating purposes.
