Losi DBXLE 2 Speed Test. How Fast Can This 1/5 Scale Desert Buggy Go On 8S?

[@brianargo9306]

It looked like every time u got to 45 u came off the trigger to soon. I think if u could stay in it for a little longer it could possibly break 45. Idk I could be wrong. But cool video and plus that new setup with the app. Is pretty accurate. But keep the videos coming

[@JoshHefnerX]

Is that gear limited? Seems like it gets up to 45 pretty quick and then kinda stops pulling - like it's hitting some kind of rev limiter, rather than power limited.

[@rc4life860]

JoshHefnerX its undergeared pretty badly

[@Theroux1989]

Can confirm that it’s under geared out of the box. Got one used and the previous owner put a 19 tooth pinion which give 65-70mph speed. The best part is that the motor stayed at 160f and esc 135f for the whole run. I will definitely gear it lower because I feel like I might be stressing component and any way it’s way to fast for bashing 😂

[@philliplyn2692]

Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪

[@mhector89]

Awesome electronics gadget Should be doing at least 50pmh..But your dbxl looking goodA+🏁🚦🛣

[@Daywalker_Lee]

Great info Tony. I'm starting to lean towards the DBXLE 2 over the new Kraton... I would have to add $200 in parts to get the Kraton set up the way I would like. It's a tough decision.

[@CCxRC]

Just going to say that the DBXLE platform is one my favorite for a large scale electric RC. The Kraton will have to work hard to dethrone it

[@rgr4475]

Tracy, same here. And my local shop is getting more of these Wednesday and I think I'm pulling the trigger. 👍

[@MultiSkyman1]

I have the DBXL E and 2 smaller Kratons. They are all great. I just plain love the looks of the DBXL though.

[@matthewaugsburger536]

I am trying to decide between the two. The losi looks like its built a little better but I haven't seen either in person

[@3props_does666]

I like that the app was in line with the gps and the GoPro. 45 is definitely moving for something that big.

[@signature-bi5qg]

Great comparison. Nice to see the different equipment to validate the numbers 👌🏼 I just bought mine and gotta say its worth every penny!

[@ExocagedRC]

I'm casually looking for a new 5th scale. Take away the price tag, which one is better, Arrma Kraton 8s or this Losi DBXLE 2.0? The chassis issues on the Kraton kinda kills that one for me but it looks like it has so much potential, so which one would you choose to keep between these two?

[@CCxRC]

I don't plan to get rid of the DBXLE. I made that mistake once already and missed it way too much. :) Both are awesome. But if the Kraton isn't for stunts, but for handling....I like the DBXLE for those things.

[@ExocagedRC]

CCxRC we will soon have some 5th scale racing locally so I want something that can hang with the Xmaxx and so far the Kraton just doesn’t do that. Thank you for responding and I understand your choice.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Nice to see the telemetry working which it doesn't on the Super Rock Rey. Does it come with the optional pinion or do you have to buy that on top of the $1k tag? Never sure why companies don't inc the optional pinion on high end cars. Also how do you get the speed to show on the gopro onboard?

[@CCxRC]

No optional pinion. I never switch because I bash it and don’t want high temps. But it is odd. Arrma gave with infraction but not the K8S. You have to turn on gps in GoPro regional settings. Then you can add overlays in their Quik editing app.

[@CCxRC]

Telemetry was setup by selecting the car from a list with this one and the K8s. Unfortunately it can only save one model in the app at a time. I mentioned this to Spektrum as I have 3 cars I want to use it on.

[@sakisSAVAGER]

[@BlueDually4x4]

You couldn't have made one fast pass in the empty field for us? 45mph is pretty solid I think.

you can adjust the braking amount threw the ESC

Just installed Louise X Uphill's on mine - or Duratrax Six Pack X. You should give them a try. What an awesome wheel with ZERO ballooning.

[@Darknessevolves]

Why does Losi advertise 50+ out the box with 8s but it’s only doing 45 😒

[@CCxRC]

It says with optional pinion.

[@trevorthomas6043]

[@joehiden7475]

Isn't 45mph pretty sad for an 8S car?

[@CCxRC]

No. It’s 8s because everything about it is bigger and heavier. Needs more power to go the same speed. Same with 3s cars going nearly as fast as 6s

[@richm4100]

Is the stock transmitter with this buggy a 'smart' one? So can you see things like LiPo battery info on the app etc

[@jahmenrcbuildingasone4254]

Im confused you clearly have a offroad buggy doing speed runs on pavement. You had a huge stretch of dirt and offroad conditions right their at this location. Really would liked to watch this rip on dirt!! It just looks natural. Maybe next time🙏🙏👍🤨

[@CCxRC]

Going for the least drag for speed testing. All my speed tests are done on pavement/roads. Also, I don't want to tear up that private property.

[@michaeldev5962]

Ohh man can you show us how you get your phone to your remote

[@cwatson42785]

Tony I'm surprised you didn't get the fox body as black and white are your colors. The red one looks good too.

[@CCxRC]

that Fox body didn’t really appeal to me. I dig the Tenacity DB Pro fox body.

[@tom5051666]

[@deeredude]

Saw you liked one of my trucks on Instagram thanks Brother 🤙

[@noahtheviking1]

In the owners manual of a traxxas slash brushless it gives you different suspension settings for the type of terrain and driving you are doing including top speed run. So maybe this car has that too! If not you can still do something similar and give it a rip and see.

[@D.J_RC]

I Love my DBXL-E, the thing is such a beast. It can even handle a bit of sending it!! Bash On! 🤘🏻👊🏻

Really cool video Tony. Love all the telemetry 👍👍

[@BIGGBULLxxx]

What's the run time? What size mah battery packs? And what size pinion gear? And what's coming out new 5th scale electric...because I know you know👽lol

[@CCxRC]

Run time varies based on type of driving and use. Typically I get between 8-15 minutes. Still running the stock pinion. Can't remember off-hand. I honestly don't know of any 5th scale electrics. We definitely have some 1/10 scale cars to look forward to, but I haven't heard about any large scale RTR electrics.

[@masacremisantropia5910]

Hola! Donde se puede comprar el aparato para medir la velocidad?

[@imserious2187]

That’s not bad considering the size of it

[@Raptor306090]

Everytime you hit 45 you let off. bet you could have gotten 46.

[@CCxRC]

Raptor306090 I’m not trying to break speed records. Just giving an idea of what people can expect. Packaging gives speeds, but I just try to shop if it’s actually close or not. Within a few MpH, I’m happy.

yes, where doi buy that phone mount for the controller?

[@marcstube17]

[@MichaelJohnson-tq6iv]

Put a degree or two of toe out on the front wheels. That’ll help it track straighter. You might lose a tiny bit of mph but possibly not.

[@Abszurdista-fatalista]

I've heard about that. I am sure that works, but the odd thing is, that 'toe in' helped in my case for the Talion V3.

It is the Haoge Clip-50 Pipe Clamp amzn.to/2XDABzy Then you need a selfie stick for your phone that has a tripod mount input on the bottom.

[@matthewshafer3459]

do they make the driving modes for the DBXL gas?

[@CCxRC]

I don't know if that has been added to the electronics for the gas or not. If so, I'm not sure if it would work for the engine control or not. It seems it would just be throttle curves to help maintain driving control, but I'm not sure.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Very cool got mine working great now love this rc 💪💪🔥🔥👍👍

CCxRC I tried that first but ended up moving the toe link adjustments to move it over so I got less right and more left now it’s good 👍👍

[@ShenRC]

Nice speed looks like the gopro and the speed gps meter are the same so that's good.

[@CCxRC]

and so is the telemetry. The GoPro did clip 46mph for a brief moment on one pass.

[@garymitchell9152]

Hey Tony you should switch motor with the kraton 8s there both smart systems same esc

[@CCxRC]

I plan to see if it will fit ;)

[@felixotero1]

So liking the dbxl more and more I need that set up to record crawlers what are you using - does the GoPro show the speed meter or is that separate

[@CCxRC]

The newer GoPros do have a speedometer you can overlay if you record with the GPS turned on. It uses that to monitor movement and speed.

[@CCxRC]

I need to look up the part number for that clamp. It's awesome.

[@tonydel1974]

Box stock that's pretty fast

[@AB-80X]

And it will pull a 15 tooth pinion with ease.

[@CrazyguyRC]

The go pro has telemetry?

[@mark-1rc502]

5mph more than big Arrma kraton 🥳

[@AB-80X]

True. But the Arrma is more aggressively geared. Throw a 19 tooth pinion in the Arrma and they will run the same speed. For what they are intended to do, it's not really a big difference. I have a Kraton 8S coming and I already have this, I suspect they will feel similar in many ways - especially since I run Louise X Uphill on my DBXL-E 2.0.

[@Dakindbrew]

Righteous!!!

[@rgr4475]

Was this punched up to 5? Doesn't it come set a 4?

[@CCxRC]

Yes, it comes at 4. I left it at 4 because the acceleration feels good at 4.

[@AB-80X]

4 to 5 does not really make a big change on this one. 4 is already pretty aggressive, and 5 only serves to wear your drive line a bit faster. If you put it at 3, it starts to feel soft. Still waiting on my ZTW 300 and TP 5870. That will be the real test of drive line longevity.

@@NabiL_Lam I like them both.

[@AB-80X]

@@stikupartist3698 I already own this, and I have an Arrma on order. I suppose that if I wanted to get only one, it would be this. It's a great jack-of-all-trades, and it can be made to run in most conditions. With a quick tyre change, you pretty much have a more truggy style thing going that will do most of what the Arrma will do. But they do drive quite differently, but they are both great machines. As a pure basher, the Kraton probably has the edge, and as a racer, this is probably the better deal. This will handle a MUCH bigger motor with you feel like going that route. If it's your first large scale, you can't go wrong with either.
