Awesome video, loving my rtr! I've gotten 54mph on the stock electronics at 2.85, shooting to get 60mph before i change things out(if i ever do)... Great Job Losi!

[@robertruiz5417]

Thank you gentlemen for making the sport amazing

[@SlimTheGoat]

I made one battery's worth of passes before I started modifying mine. Biggest help is changing the rear suspension geometry and using better tires. I'm building a zero degree bulkhead right now that in theory will help even more

[@xKmotx]

Hey Ryan, I remember you from the Q-500 days. :) I just ordered my 22S Drag Camaro. Such a beautiful looking model. This old man remembers '69 Camaro's from when they were new on dealer showroom floors. :)

[@ReadySetRC]

Great video guys! Really enjoyed the innovation of this car.

[@RazorRoo1989]

Losi I love my drag car. Can you guys please make that tire a belted tire that would be badass?

[@halroofner4069]

A drag body in the top fuel funny car I would like to see is “ The Snake” Prudohmmes 70’s eras. It was smoking hot.

[@ransomadams1983]

A very nicely done review and am AMAZED at all of the after-market goodies for this Awsome rc! Did I mention that I own one? Summertime is coming and I'm ready for it!

[@SaltyDuck97]

Love mine, wish the spur and pinion were 32 pitch though 😬

[@allaspectsrc4178]

Really great car cant wait till it restocks...love seeing my 916 no prep kings featured in this video about the best rtr drag car out now..Big ups to harley designs

[@nicholasjeffries1239]

I love my Losi drag car. Picked it up the day it was released. Just have one problem. On launch it hooks hard left and flips over. I have changed the shocks and that is it. Help please. I love this drag car. Thank you in advance.

[@carmatic]

How did Losi miss the rear right driveshaft hitting the gearbox cover?

[@renercadventures]

Awesome video thanks for sharing 👏😻

[@saltysupertrucker8922]

I just got my 22c , only issue so far is the passenger drive shaft hits the clutch cover during launch.

[@OldGreyBeard45]

These are very nice, hands above the DR10. My RTR runs 2.65 with just a pinion change. I built my roller with a rotor Ron set up and sub 2.5 on first passes. All I’ve done to my cars is change the shocks to adjustable. I use front GTR shocks for a slash with some spacers and that’s all this car needs. That and a a flat wheelie bar.

[@rcfun4u843]

What pinion and tires to get 2.6’s? Have you adjusted esc?

[@junkyard_racing385]

I just got mine today and ever pass it got hard left how do I stop this

[@brendanshield]

Nice work guys I'm a heli flyer but these look so cool!

[@PhiddyPford]

I will say mine is fast on 2s and controlled. Consistent 2.8’s but the tires are a joke here in Florida. Pizza cutters don’t work. Reactions are excellent for straight fast hits

[@MrFishface5]

Do a 55 chevy drag car

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

You think Traxxas will have a “behind the innovation” type video? I really doubt it, because I don’t think the Drag Slash is competitive and I bet Traxxas knows that too

[@RickyD1968]

Why don't you make a drag race light system like traxxas did back in the day DTS-1 ???

[@PhilBender612]

Moral of their whole story.....losi drag car better than Traxxas drag car. But I think both are damn good choices. Plus the associated choice...... Having more options for an RTR to get started in this is awesome.

[@paulclancy2404]

, losi always been my favorite rcs , a cut above the rest, I even named my 🐕 Losi any questions 😆

[@PhilBender612]

@@paulclancy2404 my dogs named Traxxas. That's a joke but I noticed Losi rtr's are not bad but, a bit on the cheaper side it seems....But tlr losi's are awesome. TLR is the hi end while losi rtr is a bit less. From what I've seen.

[@paulclancy2404]

@@PhilBender612 yes true , some of losis rtr aren't the best , most are derivative of tlr though, like 5ive t . True they had some bad ones too I consider them more horizon cars 😆. I'm not a dog person so my famiky way being thankful I got them a dog , they tried to getting another offering to name traxxas or arrma lol

[@davidrenaldo2252]

Can’t get mine to go straight for more than 80 feet

[@richardbrown6762]

I'm 68 and I still like rc cars and have since 20 years now just give us the parts we need to keep our cars going I can't get hop up parts or regular parts help us out please 😢😮😮😮

[@skylarsoper241]

I’m getting one ☝️ 😊👍🏻

[@jwmoor]

This is all cool, but what I don't get is why didn't ya'll make a new full frame street/strip muscle car style vehicle instead of modifying basically a mountain goat chassis?

[@GearWorksRc]

Isn't Losi and TLR both the same thing

[@mikebird8290]

SUCH A SHAME YOUR NOT SELLING THIS AMAZING CAR IN ENGLAND. SUCH A SHAME.

[@BROtheBRAWLER]

out of stock, in europe imposslible to get

[@DaveSandine]

Whomever told these guys no and that's it's too niche are killing the hobby.

[@paulclancy2404]

They work for horizon and all they care about is sales , unfortunately they cater to the one and done hobbiest not the people who main hobby are rc.

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

Idk if “killing the hobby” is the right way to put it. At the end of the day, the bean counters have a business to run and indeed if it’s too niche, it won’t sell. They have to recover development costs somehow. This car wouldn’t have exists if drag racing stayed niche. They were wrong, they just didn’t anticipate the growth of the no-prep scene.

[@gjsopa]

@@paulclancy2404 False. There's a time and a place for every project, if something comes to the market before there is a desire for it, it can kill a product before it gets off the ground.

[@paulclancy2404]

Thats true for products in general, but horizon discontinued alot losi products and most rc people keep there rcs , ofcourse because a new product may sell better and be more for new hobbiest , what about the people that already spent alot money. Does ford stop making parts for cars ? Just because they discontinued older ones ? If losi wasn't under horizon the products still be made . Being a big co. More a reason to not have to only do whats the most profitable even if screws over all that already invested . Don't tell me that camaro woukdnt sold even no prep didn't get big, just wouldn't compare to the newbies buying what offers the most all around drivability

[@paulclancy2404]

I'm not going hate on horizon though because if wasn't for them we all be forced into buying from a monopoly traxxas inc.

[@chrissmarduksrccarcarnage4940]

Nice ...better than the gasoline driven Environment Killers ...🤭🤘
