Key Features
- 3.3-inch Diameter Wheels — The outer wheel diameter of 3.3 inches is specifically engineered for 1/8 scale buggy platforms, providing the correct rolling circumference and geometry that directly impacts acceleration, top speed, and handling characteristics on both dirt and carpet racing surfaces.
- 17mm Hex Connection — The 17mm hex specification ensures secure, wobble-free mounting to your 8IGHT 3.0 buggy chassis, preventing wheel slip during aggressive cornering and maintaining precise steering response throughout your entire racing session.
- Front and Rear Compatibility — These wheels are engineered to work equally well as front or rear wheels on your 8IGHT 3.0, giving you complete flexibility in your setup and allowing you to maintain multiple sets with different configurations without needing to purchase model-specific variants.
- High-Visibility Yellow Finish — The bright yellow colour scheme not only looks fantastic on the track but provides excellent visibility for tracking your buggy during high-speed action, making it easier to follow during races or freestyle runs and improving visibility for spectators and photographers.
- Professional Racing Grade — Manufactured by Team Losi Racing, these wheels meet the strict quality standards required for competitive RC buggy racing, ensuring consistent performance lap after lap and the reliability you need when competition results matter.

Technical Performance
These Team Losi Racing wheels represent the pinnacle of 1/8 scale buggy wheel engineering, manufactured to precise tolerances that ensure balanced rolling characteristics and predictable handling. The 3.3-inch diameter has been extensively tested and refined through countless hours of competitive racing to provide the optimal balance between acceleration, top speed capability, and cornering grip. The 17mm hex interface utilises a proven mechanical design that has become the industry standard for 1/8 scale off-road buggies, offering excellent durability under the extreme lateral and vertical forces experienced during high-performance driving. The wheel construction emphasises precision engineering with a dish design that provides both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits through optimised weight distribution and structural rigidity. These specifications work in harmony to deliver wheels that perform consistently across varying track conditions, from loose dirt and clay surfaces to harder packed racing circuits. The build quality reflects Team Losi Racing's commitment to manufacturing components that can withstand the demands of serious racing, where wheel reliability directly impacts lap times and race results.
