[@CutefaceKennyJ]

Hey all, I'm very new at this whole R/C world. Just started looking at stuff this week. I'm very happy I came upon your page here, Greg. Just a couple questions to start, if you don't mind. So, what would be your best advice for someone seeking a nice entry level hobby level rc car? I'm really liking the crawlers, especially the new Traxxas Bronco, I just love hiking the trails near my home town and crawlers seem kind of up my alley. Although, how could anyone not desire something fast? So of course the bashers are an attractive option, too. What I don't know is, does anyone think that a Senton or Hoss would be overkill for me to start with? Thanks

[@eduardoribeiro3763]

Great video! How to clean it and conserve?? Would be nice a chapter for this

[@robertlongley9153]

Just picked one up how do you feel about this Losi one year later

[@Vladle2099]

I got this on a trade. Came with a castle xl x and the second day the esc caught fire. Ended up getting the stock esc and so far so good.

[@jamieofalltrades536]

I think for the $$$ the Arrma Kraton 8S BLX 1/5th-Scale you reviewed, appeared to perform better all around, more stable in the turns, and in the air, landings were better...Just my opinion, and its cheaper. I think I prefer 1/10 scale overall too, just more affordable for a weekend warrior like me to be able to keep it running and have backup parts and batteries on hand, extra wheels and tires, etc..

[@robertjohnson671]

Just checking is there a fuse or something because I rolled mine and now it does not power up. Bought it used and was running great. Has a lot of add on cooling fans.

[@AC_Spooky]

Outstanding video, you're a master of your craft! Thanks soo much for the detailed information really appreciated.

[@Triggered-RC]

You need a bigger park to truly enjoy that. No way you even got half throttle in those locations. I suggest picking up a Team Associated DB8. I just got one (even though the DBXL is on my wish-list), and for the money, it can't be beat. Also, it'll fit better ion your driving locations.

[@jaguar2164]

I buy in same color, waiting for delivery. Can't wait.

[@TrashCanNinja87]

Idk about you but with all the releases this year it has to be my favorite year in rc. Only thing we need is a licensed single axel monster truck.

[@BlueDually4x4]

I think the Redcat Ground Pounder and the Tamyia Clod are the only solid axle monster trucks out. Unless you can find an HPI WheelyKing.

This is a VERY detailed review in my opinion. Good job!

[@danieldegaetano2630]

Hello, I just had a DBXL-E 2.0 delivered on 1-27-20. My buggy arrived looking ok, but on power-up the pinion and spur gears are grinding like a cement mixer. On the bench it goes. I found a bent front drive shaft. It shows .030 thousands bend on the dial indicator. That means .015 bend. Looking further the 4mm metal plate has a .080 thousands upward bow in it. No idea how this can happen being shipped. Can you put a straight edge on yours and see if yours may be bowed. Im getting ready to straighten things up. Contact for repairs has started, but im in wait mode. I took video of the work checking the buggy.

[@Yaadman69]

@rc_driver Solid review and bash with the V2! How much run time did you get with the those batteries? I could only find the 50C Spektrums when I snagged mine. Just looking for feedback. Thanks.

[@djgus84]

How safe are lipo batteries?what's the chance they explode or catch fire? It's my only thing stopping me from buying the set up. I'd be paying about $1500 after taxes and for unit,batteries and a battery bag

[@rcdriver]

There’s always a possibility like with any lithium battery, even in everyday household electric powered items in your home. But if you follow all the precautions and best charging practices the chances would be extremely rare. Spektrum’s Smart battery systems were developed to reduce those chances even more.

[@NabiL_Lam]

What was the run time?

[@SOBaseball]

Looks great and fun. I’ve had a xxle2 for a while so needless to say I can’t imagine dropping money on anything Losi. Hope I’m proven wrong cause this looks like a winner

[@rcdriver]

TrashCanNinja I never had the DDM set. This set it pretty good, even the smaller bits. Not a huge fan of the ball head bits in the set, they kill hardware pretty quick even at just a slight angle. The straight bits have worked well. I’ve had this set for a while and it does the job.

[@rcdriver]

[@VegasRC]

@@rcdriver I think you do lol. I pre ordered the Kraton, passing on the 2.0. The 2.0 seems limited on challenging surfaces, bumps/jumps etc cause of tire size. Fine for parks but for a grand you wanna hammer on em like a X Maxx.

[@jaguar2164]

If you are looking to jump and put it to more irregular terrain the answer is Xmaxx or kraton, if you are looking to run on track and on open terrain at full speed and with a more stable handling losi is your answer. The best thing would be to have both options but they are very expensive. I chose the losi as my first choice and it will be my first powerful RC

I really like the look of this thing and I would probably buy it but I recently purchased my first Losi, the super rock rey. I have had nothing but problems out of that thing, It's been on my work bench more often than any other rc I have. All the problems related to the crap steering system. After the first day of running it the servo saver broke, so I fixed that with the aluminum upgrade and it made it about half way through the next battery and then the actual servo crapped out. I wish I could return it. I dunno what it would take for me to buy another Losi product. My next purchase is gonna be the new Arma kraton 8s I think.

I recently had to replace rear gears but I mean that's after 2 years of play. I'm seriously considering just buying another Xmaxx. I really like the big 1/5 scale trucks.

[@Blueknight1960]

I have this and here is my personal experience with it. 1) The stock spektrum servo is junk. Broke within the first 10 minutes of 2nd set of batteries. 2) While I love the wing on the back, it's pretty ridgid and didn't last long. 3) Watch out for trees that move into the path of travel, it breaks stuff. 4) Keep the punch level at 4, the motor stays cooler longer. 5) Avc is at 100%, keeps it straight at full throttle. 6) Don't hit yourself with it, it freaking hurts. 7)Find the most open space to run this thing because it is heavy and takes a lot longer to stop. If you need to stop quickly from full speed, forget it, ain't happening. 8) Use 100c rated batteries, that is the recommended rating. 9) Start buying extra parts, you'll need them. 10) Upgrade from the stock transmitter, it's two channel and the receiver is 6 channels. Other than those things, it's a damn fun rc 1/5 scale.
