I love the scale details in this. I have the Rock Rey and the cage fixed to the chassis makes it a git to work on. The hinged body and sway bar is genius. Great vid, thanks Josh.

[@IgnusFast]

That's the best-behaved rock racer I've ever seen!

[@teschautocyclesalesllc2265]

The Losi Tenacity platform has a lot of performance potential. I have an older Tenacity SCT converted into sort of an 8th scale buggy and it's awesome! Light, nimble and bulletproof with a few mods. A lot of TLR Ten SCTE 3.0 parts swap over and are huge improvements over stock. The TLR steering set up replaces all the bushings with bearings and stronger plastics. I think I'll pick one of these up too. Thanks for the review!

[@CCxRC]

Watched this on the Tv earlier, so I’m just now commenting. Very detailed overview! Loved it. You have it a good bash as well. Impressive rig wide open like that.

[@mrstanton81]

Thank you for the super satisfying running footage!

[@SebastianLong]

Dude, since I first saw this after I checked my email after I got home, I liked it. I'm definitely going to have to get myself one at some point. Won't be a first batch purchase this time though as I JUST purchased a Losi 5ive T 2.0. Lol. I purchased it Monday or Tuesday, can't remember which. 4s capable seems like a bit extreme for a 1/10 scale buggy style RC, at least to me. I'm basing that opinion on running my Tenacity DB Pro on 2s. 2s is pretty dang fast in Losi buggies. If I do get the Lasernut, it probably won't be till next year. I've got a build in order and a boat to get. Both very high priority. The Losi 5T is my highest priority, the ProBoat Sonicwake is second, then my build is third. My build is a Losi Super Baja Rey, brand new, unused, not even turned on yet. I purchased two when they were on sale, BND, and gave one to my brother. I've got a Super Rock Rey that fills the void of the SBR, I just couldn't pass it up for the price. Now I've got a plan for it. I was going to get the Traxxas XO-1, but decided instead to use the money I would have put into the purchase of the XO-1 into the SBR. I'll be getting myself a R-SNAKE 16s ESC and mating it to a TP Power motor. I won't ever run 16s because battery fitment will be a little too complicated. I know I can fit two 6 cell lipos into a SRR battery compartment so 12s will be max I will run. Daily running will be done on 8s and occasionally 12s. Why I'm going for a 16s ESC rather than a 12s ESC is to try to not put as much stress on the electronics as running max voltage does. Also gives me a little leeway to change settings (like punch) or batteries, without fear of cooking the ESC. Anyways. Both paint schemes on the new Lasernut look awesome and if the time comes, I'll be ok with either. I prefer the black one with the carbon fiber look over the blue, but I won't be disappointed with the blue version (I think the blue has a carbon fiber look too, just the "red" version is more appearant.

The sway bar hinge is a selling point for me👍

[@Donotreply337]

I saw some reviews complaining about the stock servo. I have my Lasernut couple of days and steering was initially not good till I discovered that the servo saver was very less tension on the spring. I tightened the ring a bit and secured with little loctite. Steering got significantly better! I‘d like to hear your take on this. Thanks.

[@barajastony0]

It's too nice to bash! Im still waiting for that Yeti Score trophy truck to be rereleased! 2021 might be the year!

[@BG12222]

You think axial will come out with a redesign of the yeti score?

Very cool scale of an awesome full size. Great job Losi

[@FoyeTroute]

Looks like it handles really well. Better than the Rock Rey from that standpoint.

Looks like an 1/8 scale buggy w/longer arms and taller tires.I'd get rid of the spare and replace with a wing.Nice vid and great looking bash spot.

[@blakepurdum]

Did anything break? If not, I'd say that's pretty commendable because you was definitely giving her hell. I dig it. Looks well thought out. Looks like it handles well.

[@mikemilitich5521]

I was wondering the same thing. Damage report!

[@NUeB_RCFPV]

That original center brace is just for the look; it won't stand any impact. I changed this to aluminium and the chassis is much more rigid now. Overall the Lasernut is a nice platform to install better motor and FPV gear to. A real #FPV banger that is! 🙂No gyro BS needed.

[@vorotaural]

That's the balance!

[@dawsonbossi689]

Aaahhhh... that just looks so good! Well, I just bought a Baja rey and saving up for a Dr10 drag kit, now this comes up to the market! What do you think, Baja rey or this for scale and performance. I might be leaning to this though😬

[@RevolutionX]

It's a great looking rig. I wonder if this'll bring U4 back from their decline.

[@nalby2]

Looks Great, I like how the rear stays down over the rocks , How does it compare to the Ultimate Bomber?

[@dominiqueleblanc2193]

I'm not a basher guy but would like to see a crawler build of that machine!

Seems to be really well balanced considering it has a full size spare hanging off the back. Very neutral when jumping. May just have to pick one up!

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

I HOPE this will still be available next year... I had wanted a Bomber for at least 5 years - but this just changed my mind!!! 😲😎 It seems poised, even at high speed. It appears that Losi put a lot of thought into that. 👍👍 Carmine ✈🚂🚙

[@toddbertram6556]

That is a beautiful looking rig. Is it not essentially a wheelbase adjusted 8 scale race buggy? I did a U4 conversion on an old losi 8E and did a desert style race body and it is an amazing truck. So i imagine this should be even better with the appropriate wheelbase to begin with. Can't beat losi suspension, its like velcro

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I think you pretty much have it nailed down. That appears to be essentially what it is.

[@bbeckers24]

I was thinking about the updated Arrma Big Rock for my next basher, but man, I might need to save up a little more for this. I have an old SCTE Ten and love the Losi products. The short course trucks suck in grass, but that thing looks like it would have the ground clearance to rip it up.

[@brianmonroemodelsports21]

judging by the number of views on these lasernut videos there is alot of interest in this model. maybe starting a scale racing revolution

Really impressive. I have a rock rey and DB pro. I can say the db pro is pretty much bulletproof. The ten platform has been around for years and is based on a 1/8 buggy used for 1/10 trophy truck racing. Stock motor sucks in the db pro tho, went with a leopard 3670 2400kv on 4s.

[@dariusjennings7909]

Hi there! Excellent video as always! My question is could this be modded to be faster? This would be an awesome off road racer

[@arket1616]

Nice review! But I have to say it: KV doesn't stand for Kilo Volts. K is a constant that multiplies to the voltage (K x V) to get the approximate no-load RPM of the motor per volt. That 1900KV on a 3s for example we could consider 12V, so you expect the motor to spin around 23000RPM (12x1900) without any load! This buggy seems to be a very go to, it's basher blood in something that can hit trails. Sounds like there is no bad terrain for that thing.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Yes I’m aware of the motor nomenclature. It was just me reading thru notes and I read it that way.

[@kellykuretich6366]

Nice looking rig. Hope losi didn't use the twin hammers diff cups as they break like on the rock ray.

I'm converting a Sc8.2e (6s power), I don't have anyone near me to race. What would your oil recommendations be for the front, center and rear differentials?

[@GrimJerr]

In your opinion which would be best, Axial Capra and upgrade ability, or the Laser Nut and some minor fixes ? or is that apples and oranges? That is, does the Capra fill the void between a Crawler and a Basher ? I just got a Gen 8 Axe for crawling and I love it, but getting back into RC has me feeling the racing itch to. I guess I have to decide if I wand to Bash More, or just go fast between rocky Terrain. Building a crawlscape in back yard, would like to add a Rally Style Single track Around the perimeter of the fence and wind through the trees incorporating part of the crawl zone as part of track and as Joker Lap. And then there is the Baja Rey, too many good vehicles to pick from.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I would not call the Capra a good mix, it’s really just good for crawling. I think it’s a very apple and oranges comparison really.

[@Terpscenter2012]

Could this platform be used to build a rock racer or is the bomber still the best platform to start?

This would be a great base for a rock racer in the unlimited class. I think it would be much faster than a Bomber. It won’t be as technical in the rocks but will blast thru the small stuff and jumps.
