Losi 22s Camaro vs Traxxas Drag Slash vs Team Associated DR10. SIDE BY SIDE.. pt1

[@glahut93]

Love my new Traxxas slash foxbody

[@scaleworksRC]

I just recently jumped back in to the hobby and ended up getting a Losi. I almost went with Team Associated, which I now regret not doing. The parts are cheap to replace because they are just molded plastic that breaks after a single impact. The Chinese copies even have better parts out of the box, and I'm seeing "made in China" more often than not on my RC, anyway. (sigh) I hate expensive lessons.

[@Jasonkartracing]

I’m the same way with getting back into the hobby been doing it off and on over 30 years. This time around though I’m buying used stuff cause it’s alot out there for sale cheap I’m not putting 800 in a rc and less than a year later after barely using it and selling it for 250. I like researching everything before buying and no matter the brand I would say most if not all the parts are made in china.

Sick Rx8 bro

[@thischildishlifestyle]

Thanks bro. I appreciate it .

[@soulbrother3299]

Thank you!!! I'm trying to decide!!! Your awesome bro!!! Cant wait to watch the next parts!!!!👍And yes I SUBSCRIBED!! I have the losi 22s upgraded with hobbywing motor esc ect!! Very happy!!! Still tuning but fastest time 68mph scared to crash it...10/21/23

[@edctrader9061]

Great video. I’m going to look for part two right now. I’m leaning toward purchasing the Losi. I’d really enjoy modifying that RC. A huge plus in my opinion is the aluminum chassis to start with. I know weight is very important in drag racing. I’m not too worried about that.

[@christopherrice1375]

I'll be getting the Drag Slash.

[@thischildishlifestyle]

Awesome, I hope you like it. 😎👍

[@tavianhorton281]

I’ll soon be starting with the dr10 kit as I want the hands on experience and I can’t afford the losi or the traxxas

[@thischildishlifestyle]

I should have probably done the same. Good luck with the build.

[@Alloutfight700]

Subscribed for part two, love this comparison idea keep it coming!

[@thischildishlifestyle]

Thank you I appreciate it.

[@Alloutfight700]

I have a custom drag build im working on and im using the leading RTR drag cars as my competition so information like this is very helpful to me. When the build is complete ill debut my hobby channel here on KZbin with a race against an Arma Felony 6s!

[@thischildishlifestyle]

Awesome I'll have to check that out when your done.

[@timsNIPPS]

Awesome man, cant wait to see the running comparison, if i had to pick it would be the traxxas only because of that c10 body

[@thischildishlifestyle]

Thank you, I have one running video on the channel already if you want to check it out. The traxxas is definitely an awesome truck.

[@timavery2194]

I'm totally with you. It's kinda like they said ,well it don't have to look that much like the real thing. It really ends up being the big wow when you see how much it looks like a camero. Or a c 10 Chevrolet .I love traxxess but that losi I'd bad ass.

[@williamcassidy685]

So many people commenting on the bodies and the tires for Lux as part of the decision for choosing the car. The body and wheels and tires can be upgraded with ease to make it as sexy as you want. The key is which one is best set up for tuning and racing that means which one has the best chassis. That’s the one you pick.

[@thischildishlifestyle]

Absolutely I agree 💯 😎👍

[@Bobbarker23455]

Which one do u think is the best?

[@json216]

Losi..hands down

[@thischildishlifestyle]

Lol... I'm with you on this one.

[@reallythough4591]

My dr10 just yarded that Losi and the slash yesterday, and both were on 3s vs my 2s. My slash and breakout will also do that. Don't sleep on the dr10. Know that the Losi is running a 6500kv motor, and the reedy 3300 doesn't hold up to the velineon 3500. Dr10 is just as good, and can be much faster, especially considering how much you have to play with after initial investment

[@cuocsongxaxucanada752]

Hi men, im starter and i dont know what should i buy losi s22 or dr10 it onsale same price 199$ on amainhobbies

[@thischildishlifestyle]

Definitely for the price I would go with losi. But that's my opinion. I think for 200 dollars your getting a better deal. But dr10 is a great rc also and you can always build it up to be an awesome drag car and they have a ton of upgrades for it.

[@ryanf7829]

I'm looking to design a body. This helped a lot. Thank you

[@thischildishlifestyle]

Your welcome, glad I could help. And thank you for watching. 😊👍

[@reallythough4591]

Don't forget, the dr10 is roughly 1.7 lbs lighter than the slash, and is lighter than the Losi. Slash selling point is it goes straight out of box, but the dr10 has more room to balance with the weight difference.

[@jjrock5]

Is the Slash the “midnight black” color? It almost looks gunmetal gray.

[@thischildishlifestyle]

Yes it's black. But I agree with you, it does look gunmetal Grey in certain lighting.

[@meademorgan6614]

That’s because of all the metal flakes in the paint. I got the red one, looks dope as hell. Especially in the sunlight. 🤙

[@c.k.hobbyshop3351]

Nice review 👌 I got the dr10 I think the losi looks better then the traxxas but the rear wheels r nice on the traxxas kinda tossed up on witch one to get next great video 👍👍

[@thischildishlifestyle]

I'm right on the same page as you. I love the look of the losi with and without the body. Hopefully it performs well too. From what I'm hearing it's pretty good right out of the box. But I hear the traxxas is also. Thanks for watching bro.

[@c.k.hobbyshop3351]

@@thischildishlifestyle no problem I enjoyed the video 👌

[@reallythough4591]

Dr10 is no joke. I'm sub 3 sec with no ESC or motor tuning. Get the rtr for 170, then drop a couple on a mamba monster and a tp4600, and say bye bye to both the other two, for basically the same cost.

Can you put any body on these like if u like the truck body but the dr10 chassis

[@thischildishlifestyle]

Sure could

[@riftur7636]

Need help please. I am just starting in the 2s No Prep scene. I purchased a traxxas drag slash recently but am trying to upgrade it. On 3s, the motor is amazing, 2s, it seems really slow compared to what I've seen. I bought a Spektrum Firma 100A Brushless Smart ESC / 6500Kv Sensorless Motor Combo: No-Prep, SPMXSEMC13 to replace the stock motor but I think I made a mistake and might return it. what is the best affordable motor (not more than $200) you would recommend?

[@thischildishlifestyle]

Did you install the speed pinion ? It shouldn't be too slow on 2s. But if you want a different motor to try I would look into maybe the reedy motor since they have a bunch of different choices when it comes to kV/ turn. Not sure about getting a motor/esc combo for under 200 though. Probably just the motor.

[@riftur7636]

@@thischildishlifestyle yeah i returned that combo. I was hoping that winning with 2s would make the driver and setup of the car the most important thing. Unfortunately, like everything else, money wins.

[@madanotsob]

I got the Losi Ford pickup.

[@thischildishlifestyle]

Awesome, how are you liking it ?

[@madanotsob]

@@thischildishlifestyle I've only run a couple 50c packs thru it. I just ordered higher c packs. I like it so far. Looking to do the local box stock class and need to go thru the gearbox and shocks and make sure they are good.

[@mikelester5524]

Which one is faster on 2s stock out the box I'm not a fan of the dr-10 looks very cheaply made

[@thischildishlifestyle]

The losi is the fastest right out of the box with no gearing change at all. Then the traxxas. The traxxas does come with a speed pinion you can swap out. If you install it then they are pretty close in speed.

[@foopgaming4410]

May a slow vxl mines ran fast ​@@thischildishlifestyle

[@ggv69340]

Wich one is the best I want one lol are they ok to bash one the street

[@thischildishlifestyle]

I like the losi the best. Traxxas is nice too though. The team associated needs some work to get it as fast as the others. You can bash any of them I don't see why not.

[@nolimitrc1]

Wow im impressed with your losi your body actually pretty good mine came all like crap with gaps and scratches on the roof im so mad!

[@thischildishlifestyle]

Actually mine also had some scratches on the top of the body you just can't really see it in the video. It's not to bad but I noticed it. If yours is really bad contact horizon. Maybe they'll send you a new body for the rc. They've replaced allot of stuff for me before. Thanks for watching btw.

[@meademorgan6614]

Mine wasn’t scratched up but, it does have a ripple going across the passenger side door and there is a big ripple on both sides right under the panel behind the side rear windows. Looks like when it came out the mold it wasn’t sitting flush with the one under it when the next body was stacked on top of it. You really couldn’t see it, until I removed the big Summit stickers from both sides and the top. I would like to put some white SS stripes on it.

[@nolimitrc1]

@@meademorgan6614 yeas yes i see i bought the last two spare bodies horizon hobby d to offer and the blue one was not even cut evenly and didnt fit properly i had to trim it a whole lot made me feel like my chassis was bent and then i put the red one on to check and it fit perfectly but the paint was off and the wing was bent to one side but imo the 67 camaro body is the most scale realistic body they offer even the drag slash looks a bit weird to be scale like how wide it is

[@rcreviews9894]

Nice 👍 thought about getting that Losi, still on the fence, looks like you got a good line up, the slash might get a leg up on the initial take off but I’m curious to see who will win it

[@thischildishlifestyle]

Thanks, I've had that losi in the box for a few weeks now lol. I'm a slacker on making videos🤣 . gonna try and get them out asap. With the launch feature you maybe right. But if that's not in play I'm still going with the losi for some reason. I already drove the associated so I know it's not the fastest rc right out the box..lol, but I could be wrong on that also since it only has to get down the line the quickest and not have the fastest top speed.

[@rcreviews9894]

@@thischildishlifestyle right it’s a toss up, is the associated brushless? And are you gonna run 2s? The black Slash actually looks pretty sick, I think all the colors do really

[@thischildishlifestyle]

Associated is brushless and will run on 3s also. But the fellas here run races on 2s so I'll be doing the race video on 2s. I did like the black when I opened the box and seen it. Wish they would've added a little more detail in the truck bed other than just that sticker. But everything else on the slash I liked, especially the big tires.

[@Outdaway3]

I love my losi great car

[@Danny.fb6]

none of the chassis have aluminum. the lossi just has a plate that was put on to it and you can buy them for all three.

Ide like to say its shiuld be three drag cars up there . the losi the team associated . the slash drag and the two missing is the drag slash build and the proline drag slash . and I say that because there's a difference between them also and still on competition with eachouther . drag slash you can buy slash drag build ? Well the name speak fir itself . now the proline drag slash in. Game of its own .

[@ISIAH_STL]

I had the losi diff and cvd axles are weak

[@thischildishlifestyle]

Yeah I've seen a few different things that need to be worked out before it runs straight off the line. Working on it then I'll be doing a rematch vid with the losi and traxxas. The associated is getting a completely different setup also.

[@meademorgan6614]

The 3 👎🏼, are from people who bought Wal-Mart R/C cars. Thinking they would be fast. 🤣😂🤣😂😠. I just got the Losi from Horizon Hobby, waiting for the Traxxas to come in at Hobby Town. Just getting into R/C, all because of these two drag cars. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Finally got my Drag Slash on Friday the 6th. The suspension is totally a different beast than the Losi.

[@thischildishlifestyle]

Awesome, so do you like the slash ?

[@meademorgan6614]

@@thischildishlifestyle My Hobby Town guy ( Buzz ) hooked me up with a 3s battery when I git the Losi 22s, because I asked for something that would give me the most run time and the biggest hit. When my Drag Slash came, I decided to get the 2s battery just incase I found somewhere to race with other R/C racers. Let me just say that with the 2s battery, the Drag Slash is no competition for the 3s Losi 22s. The difference between the 2s and 3s power is night and day. I'm gloing to get a 2s battery for the Losi, and use the 3s battery in my Slash VXL for bashing. Overall, yes I like the Drag slash, the Losi seems to be built a bit better because of the aluminum chasis. But the suspension and the new transmission on the Drag Slash seem to be better than the 22s. But I really like both of them. One thing, the spur gear on my Losi didn't hold up very well. After only a week of ownership, the spur gear stripped smooth. No teeth at all were left on it. And surprise, surprize. You can't get one anywhere. They are back ordered from anywhere on the web that sells them. I Did finally find one after two weeks of searching, but it is from England and the gear was $16.00 and shipping for it was $12.00. So for a $4.00 part I paid $28.00 and it won't get here until 08/30. I did order 2 from Horizon Hobby, but like I said they are on back order, with an end of August restocking date. So no telling when I'll be getting those spur gears.Sucks that the Losi 22s has been just sitting there for over a month, with at least another one to go before parts are avalable. Then I have to wait and see who's orders come first. Customers or hobby shops.
