FIRST DRIVE! Losi Tenacity DB Pro v2 (Unboxing, Tested, Review)

[@kevinb729]

Love your videos. They are so relatable to the everyday backyard basher. Thank you for the great content. I’m 48 and love messing with my kids.

[@RoadsideRC]

Awesome! Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. Have fun with the kiddos!

[@paulpitmon6663]

Great choice on the Lucas Oil Livery. I kinda always wanted one of those as well. Good for you.

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks!

[@RcBasherBoi]

That's one great buggy for sure, awesome run!

[@RoadsideRC]

I agree!

[@GreatLakesRC]

Nice to see this on the channel! That was a killer sale 👍

[@RoadsideRC]

Agree!

[@patricklavoie8719]

Definitely a nice buggy! Day at the track is what I wanna see :)

[@RoadsideRC]

That's the plan! Give me a few weeks and I hope to really give it a test!

[@philthyco1]

Nice..Love the livery on these!

[@RoadsideRC]

Me too!

@@RoadsideRC Should run sweet on 17mm hexs with proper 8th buggy tires

[@RoadsideRC]

I am already looking at 17mm hexes for it. Seems there are a few options. This buggy actually shares more in common with the TEN-SCTE truck - so I might run more of that style setup with it.

[@RichB07]

Awesome . Very nice buggy ...!

[@RoadsideRC]

It really is!!!!

[@EJ-74]

This Losi is awesome. I'd love to get 10 of these on a nice track. That would be sick. Cool buggy for sure 🔥👍✌️

[@RoadsideRC]

You can do that! Just a few parts swapped out and it turns into the TEN-SCTE race truck! They share the same platform.

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

I’m excited for you brother. It is wicked! Love it as is from bumper to bumper . You got some fantastic footage with the cam in the cockpit, and those jumps were stellar. It’s a natural! I’d run it at the track stock and then mod and then compare how much improvements it gaine from stock form. Great share Troy! Have a great weekend!😎👊🏼✌🏻🍻

[@RoadsideRC]

Sounds like a plan to me!

[@KurtsRCs]

Awesome Buggy they are a good platform to run, I have the TT Pro and it is a blast to run very fast car

[@RoadsideRC]

Yes! I am really excited about it.

[@puddleduckist]

I just bought one 2 with the 100.00 discount. Very cool little buggy! Great run and jumps, great back flips!!

[@RoadsideRC]

Great! Which color scheme did you go with?

[@puddleduckist]

@@RoadsideRC I got the fox livery. I have a bunch of upgrades as well including steering rack, servo, techno shafts, mpi puck center shaft kit, aluminum chassis braces, aluminum diff cups and a few others. I have a super rock rey as well with a full vitavon kit, fun stuff!

[@buddybirddog8177]

Just saw your video and subscribe...I just picked up my Lost Tenacity this week, It is the best driving rig out of the box RC car I have ever owned...I took it the local track and it killed it...Are upgrades coming oh ya!!!

[@RoadsideRC]

Yes! I am really impressed with this buggy. Haven't had a chance to take it to the track yet, but will do soon!

[@HaydadRC]

Very nice showcase Troy, and you pulled off the backflip!😮👍😊

[@RoadsideRC]

Yes! I was excited to see the backflip! Thank you!

[@therchotspot]

Nice video. Ive always like the way this looks

[@RoadsideRC]

Me too! Such a cool buggy!

[@blacksheeprc8113]

Great video I got the LOSI tenacity and converted it to all the parts off the DB pro the chassis the aluminum shocks and all that stuff great vehicle

[@RoadsideRC]

Nice! Smart idea.

[@scuffleburgoutdoors]

Very cool buggy , thanks for the video sir !

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks for watching!

[@RCRoads]

Nice control off the ramp. I normally see nose dives or crashes off jumps with the DB pro. Would you recommend the Tenacity over the Lasernut for dependability ?

[@RoadsideRC]

100% recommend the DB Pro over the Lasernut!

[@RCRoads]

@@RoadsideRC Good to know. The hobby store I shop at gave me the same advice. It's too bad because the Lasernut just looks so amazing but then again so does the Tenacity. Thanks for the advice.

[@ufobuff4173]

Hahaa i see you pulled the trigger awesome brother sweet Rc I'll be getting one myself!!! I knew you were going to like this one!!

[@RoadsideRC]

I sure did!!

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks 👍

[@anouth116]

Hellooooo, The losi look crazy! I follow you since the Vorteks vidéo. And I want to know. Which one do you prefer: the vorteks or the losi? Thanks very much for your advice! See you from 🇫🇷

[@RoadsideRC]

Ooohhhh. That is a tough question!!! I think the Losi might be a better overall vehicle, but need more time with it to fully say.

[@nigel_white]

What's the difference between the V1 and V2? Looks like you now get a DX3 transmitter instead of the DX2e, which is a nice upgrade. The steering servo may have also changed. It's an S614 now, but might have been an S605 before? Not sure if there's a meaningful difference between the two. Any other differences?

[@RoadsideRC]

Oh gosh. I had done all of the research, but now forgotten. From what I remember: - all of the electronics are different - there was some change to the driveline for durability

[@nigel_white]

@@RoadsideRC What! You don't remember every detail of every model you've ever reviewed forever! 😉 No worries, I'll figure it out. Regardless, great video and very helpful!

[@nigel_white]

@@RoadsideRC I picked up a V1 on clearance from a local hobby shop last weekend. Indeed it does appear to be just the transmitter and steering servo that has changed with the V2. I'm not a servo snob, but I realized pretty quickly that the S605 that came with the V1 is objectively crap! It's an analog servo with bushings on the output drive that have so much slop that a significant amount of steering travel is lost. I have a Traxxas 2075X from a TRX-4 that has the same torque rating (9KG) as the S605, but it's digital with ball bearings on the output drive. That made a world of difference! Based on the specs for the S614 that comes with the V2, it looks like that was a smart move on Losi's part.

[@blackwolfrc]

Man that monster is nice 👍🏾

[@RoadsideRC]

It really is!!!!

[@jonb2613]

What battery were you running? How difficult is it to change the gears? Are the gears included?

[@RoadsideRC]

Yes, the gear is included. Mostly, I run this buggy on 2S. However 3S is quite fun.

[@ianfletcher2187]

Having just brought a losi tenacity db pro v2 for myself for Christmas 2023 Please help me link (bind)the transmitter to the receiver or do a short video can't get it to break your video are very informative. Thank you.

[@RoadsideRC]

I think I already responded to your previous comment?

[@ianfletcher2187]

@@RoadsideRC Sorry Troy, i can't find it 🤔

[@coryp1113]

You can get some exact replica aluminum center brace from ali express, copy paste "2Pcs Metal Front & Rear Chassis Support" and look for the one that looks exactly the same as the losi OEM part. They have it under losi lasernut u4 but it fits the db pro should be 15$ canadian dollars which like what $10 USD lol. And losi wants like 40 bucks a piece for it, I've carefully compared the ali express ones to OEM losi ones and they look exactly the same at 1/8th of the cost, pretty damn crazy savings. I have them installed and they fit perfectly, holes align, quality is perfect, and the colour matches the chassis. Save some cash for sure, if you seach hard enough you can find the replica c hubs and axles hubs, I bought those too for a fraction of the losi price but haven't install them yet.

[@RoadsideRC]

Awesome! Thanks for the tip!

[@patmarcus172]

Great vid. Lovely beast. Struggling to see how this is different to the v1 apart from the tx but I imagine there are quite a few upgrades. Can anyone help me ? Anyway, really nice. Look forward to chapter two.

[@RoadsideRC]

The DB vs DB pro is almost a whole different vehicle for sure. There is a number of things - here are a few (forgive me if I get a few of these crossed up: - Aluminum shock towers - Diff gear upgrade - Radio upgrade

[@คŦคคgO]

@@RoadsideRC not what he is talking about. There are two versions of the db pro. V1 and v 2. I think that the difference is just the controller. I have the v1 and my controller stopped working on me and I contacted horizon hobby and they gave me a new controller and receiver for free

[@twanmcnasty4012]

Yeah I did the same thing but I went with the Baja Ray and the rear diff broken out of the box I was so bummed.

[@RoadsideRC]

That does suck!! Sorry to hear that.

[@jaskilla785]

lol....i did the same when they had it on sale...loving the db pro...👍👍👍

Such a good buggy!!!

[@EnjoyLifeLikeaKid]

Love my Lasernut, wouldn't mind a DB Pro to go with it, some day

[@RoadsideRC]

Any tips for me?

[@TRKISH324]

@@RoadsideRC from all I read out there, before going to 4s, get extra diff gears. Also, earplug has been beneficial. Does seem like with all this speed they have just on 3s, have to be careful on the drag brake choice. But I have used my Lasernut for some hill killing (and some track time too) so have a little drag is helpful for me, but just a lil

[@benjaminhunt2395]

Db and the tt are great at the track

[@RoadsideRC]

I'm looking forward to trying it!!

[@cwatson42785]

Wow I just saw this video and missed out on the 100$ off. It's not on anymore. I have the tt pro (sct) and would've loved to grab this buggy

[@RoadsideRC]

Any tips with the TT?

[@cwatson42785]

@@RoadsideRC Too be honest it's been great! Haven't had to do anything to it yet. It's been perfect. Then again it's a sct so haven't really jumped it. But I just put a motor fan on it and have been running 3s on stock gearing no problem either. They really are great trucks! It's like my mini mojave how nice it drives. I'm sure you're gonna love yours! Still waiting for snow to go away to run that super rock rey your videos have helped me with! Are you on Instagram?
