The Traxxas drag slash is a whole lot better, because it has extreme brushless power, TSM, and that amazing 67 Chevrolet C10

Its kinda apples and oranges, DR10 is 13.5 class, where this Losi would be Outlaw. 3300kv vs 6500kv

@RC CRAWL so what will need to be done to this in order to compete ? I bought this car to get into drag racing. I know it’s a starter car but am I going to be throwing all new esc and motor in it in order to compete?

By far the best review of this car i have seen yet....good job RCDriver........i pretty much have made up my mind that i would be scoring one of these before i saw this review, but NOBODY else has spent the time to address so many of the little things, the technical stuff.....subbing you because of this vid alone, but am going to check out all your content now.....

[@morgano7051]

Love these videos wasn’t very confident in trying to maintain my rc because I didn’t know how to. I wouldn’t even use lips battery’s and now after watching these videos I’m way more confident in maintaining, upgrading, and lastly ven driving my rc to its full potential

[@soundmindtv2911]

Just a note: Lexan does not shatter or crack. Acrylic is brittle. Lexan is polycarbonate, which is not brittle at all. It bends and will fold in half flat without breaking. It’s what they use on full scale race car windshields.

[@Dusty2424]

You should do a comparison between the team associated DR10 and this

[@misfit5878]

So straight out of the box with a 3s Lipo on 100% this car is running 60 mph...good job Losi!

[@sdy0108]

It goes extremely straight, most guys who have put thousands of dollars into their custom drag builds and they don't even go straight

[@rcdriver]

It does. One thing I didn’t mention was it was 47-degrees out. So it was hooking up really well on cold unprepped asphalt.

[@Art-zs6sl]

Lot's of variable worked out in the RTR that's for sure.

[@SebastianLong]

Most custom drag builds are a lot faster and a lot more powerful. Definitely did do very good at keeping straight regardless.

Sweet car !! That trailer in the background was giving me horrible flashbacks. I grenaded a nitro car on the landing gear on a semi trailer at approximately 70+ mph. 😭😭😂😂🤢

[@rcdriver]

Oooh trust me. I was not to thrilled running there. But behind the start area was pallets of stone and rock. I figured running towards the snow and trailer was the better option 😂 Wish winter was over.

[@mateo85tx]

@@rcdriver I’m a truck driver and was showing my new nitro car off to a couple employees and I think because of all the trailers and metal building it lost transmission to controller and just kept going on it’s own. Hit the landing gear and exploded probably 20-30 ft into the air into 1000 pieces. Lol 🤢 I’ve recently got into crawlers so hopefully won’t blow anything up anytime soon. Lol

[@byknmikerc7153]

Losi has always been progressive in the hobby, like bringing mini and micro crawlers to the market. A lot of people think the scx24 brought the micro market, But lets not forget who started it all!

[@kravenkrawlhobby5438]

Wow Greg, what a beautiful RTR. Losi came through on this car. Great review man, nobody does a product review like you. Love all the detail you always go into about the rig or product on the bench. Seen this and the Rc Saylors and I knew which one to click on. Thanks Greg for sharing this incredible piece of awesomeness

Well I guess I'm entering the Drag World now. It would be great if they came out with a whole line of different cars like Kyosho did with their muscle car line. I would love an El Camino version of this

[@JPB426]

801 No prep rc drag racing. I would have liked to see some runs with a GNSS to see where it falls in the hierarchy of the drag cars out there. The motor takes it out of the 13.5 class, so It would have to run either a bracket or Street eliminator class. I doubt it will keep up with the SE cars though, so a roller might be the better option there.

[@Gurdian55678]

There going to end up having a stock box class for it as they have the dr10 class

[@JPB426]

Yeah that was what I was thinking. A new class for it, or have to modify it to fit a different class that’s where the roller would come in. Here we have a bracket class where it’s run what you brung with staggered starts and such. It’s nice for those working on making it to play with the fast guys.

[@sammygonzalez7627]

How straight it goes out the box, my DR10 it was like performing surgery just to make it go straight...losi went the extra mile 👍👍👍

[@rcdriver]

I only edited out one out of shape pass and a lot of straight passes. Note this is in 47 degree weather too.

[@ConditionZero76]

Sammy - just note that all these RTR drag cars have built in gyro's to keep them going straight as an arrow (which is great) for the backyard basher, but if your planning to race No Prep it's not allowed its an automatic DQ. Definitely a whole different game without a gyro but it makes it so much more fun & competitive...🏁💯

[@sammygonzalez7627]

@@ConditionZero76 I did the no gyro thing to see what it was like, i got it going pretty straight. But your right, i do it just for kicks and the gyro is a really good tool to have 👍

[@ConditionZero76]

@@sammygonzalez7627 ye the gyro will definitely help straighten you out, without the gyro on if you drift left or right 9 times out of 10 it's the pre-load spacers that need adjusted, so I would always recommend starting there, like if you take off & it starts pulling to the right, take 1mm spacer off the left shock place it on the right shock or vice versa, make several runs & if needed remove & replace more .. Best of luck Bro..... 💯🤘🏼🏁

[@billymanilli]

That grill looks nice and all but they shoulda made it black with just the little bit of "chrome" around it, like the real 1:1 Camaro. ...and I know they have to in order to get the detail, but the "seam" that goes across the quarters really sticks out to me. just my opinions... don't shoot me! lol I do think overall, it's a REALLY cool rtr drag car, thanks for the review!

RC sailors did a gps test video and hit 40ish mph on 2s and 60ish on 3s. I preordered mine with the Spektrum 2s 5000mAh 100c pack. Can’t wait!

[@jknewb6276]

Welp I cancelled my order on the Losi, I just know I won't use it that much and I'm really into getting air right now. Living in the climates we do, snow and ice 7-9 months out of the year well there's not much play time there just like my boat. But I can run my Hoss all year round. So we are sticking to MTs, truggies and buggies from here on out. Unless I hit the lottery. 🤪 Plus the wife is getting more strict on our purchases so I better go with something more versatile like a Arrma Typhon 6s. Or hey maybe even a Arrma Vorteks when the clear body comes out. 🤪 Have a good one Greg!

[@aaronbaird9444]

Great review. Losi / Horizon really did their homework, and looks to have put out a great car. I am not a Chevrolet fan, but a '69 Camaro in Laguna Blue is always gorgeous. Having working lights is a neat option, especially for running at dusk/dark. Personally, I would leave the body as a shelf queen, and just use a different body for actual racing. Metal drive shafts, and wheelie bar are very nice. Having the ESC tray mounted high, with an adjustable battery tray, as stock, is money. The battery hold down looks great, but I worry about durability. Velcro is so much cheaper, and lighter. The main issue I see is heft. The 6061 aluminum chassis is heavy, compared to plastic/carbon trays, and with optional aluminum accessories, can get even heavier. DR10 is 1900g, less batteries. What is the weight of the 22s?

[@davidchan3859]

i just got my first drag car, same as the video show, just to play with my buddy, after a few play times, its a great rc car , i think i might get a traxxas drag slash in the future(i love these old school, classic & muscle car look 😎) just.....dammmmmn dude ~ sexy as hell

[@ConditionZero76]

well, it kinda is cheating as you mentioned because it has a gyro, in no prep that would get you DQ'd immediately, without the gyro it's much much harder to control but that's also what makes it so much more fun & competitive 🏁💯🏁💯🏁🤘🏼 Great Video

[@nj2033]

This rtr looks great and stable on runs. I might have to pick one up!! Stay safe and bash on from Colorado!!

[@rcdriver]

Thank you! Being competitive doesn’t mean just winning to me. It’s being able to use something that is comparable, that works and yields good results. Just being able to have the feeling that you came close to another competitor on the track will grow a drivers confidence to stick with the sport.

[@2001Tauruswhite]

Thanks for braving the cold and finding a clean spot to run the car. I wish you could have used a GPS system on it to see how fast it was going on 2s and on 3s. That car looks solid (metal gears/transmission). I bought the Team Associated DR10 RTR late last year and there would be no way that car could keep up with the Losi. I hope Traxxas jumps on the No Prep bandwagon and releases a RTR or roller. From what I understand, the Traxxas LCG short course chassis with buggy arms, and so on was and is the preferred choice but everyone (including myself) had to buy the parts necessary to make a No Prep car. Good job and thank you for the review
