Sparko F8 SE 26

The Sparko F8 SE 26 is the 2026 Special Edition nitro buggy chassis kit from Sparko, refined to reflect the team car configuration. Supplied as an unassembled 1/8 competition platform, this SE update brings key components into the standard kit and introduces revised geometry, flex and weight distribution to optimise track performance.

The SE2026 configuration now includes 4° KPI front steering blocks and CNC rear hub inserts with +2 mm offset adjustment as standard. A new 7075 aluminium SE chassis, inspired by the electric variant (with the same side guards as SPKF81043), improves flex characteristics and balance, while adjustable rear bulkhead positioning adds set-up versatility. Updated front and rear shock towers deliver mounting positions matched to the 2026 SE geometry. The Ball-Rod front suspension remains, and the previously optional “long shock” package has been removed from the standard kit.
