NEW Losi Super Lasernut Is a 1/6 Scale RC Rock Racer With A Surprise!

[@proraptor4146]

$800 is just too much, bad move with the current economy.

[@DoRC]

It is a lot but it's also a big truck with a lot of scale details. Also at least in the United States the economy is doing pretty well.

[@John-shreds]

@@DoRCI like to call it a K economy. Rich are doing well. Lower income … not so much.

[@DoRC]

@John-shreds The rich always do well but especially if you compare it to the economic recoveries of other countries around the world everyone in the United States is doing fairly decently. I think the perception of the economy is a lot worse than the actual economy. This is primarily due to the fact that people expect prices to go down when inflation goes down but that's just not what happens.

[@Tboninator]

@@DoRC Well that’s the thing. Inflation doesn’t go away or down. The thing that has gone down (from the astronomical levels, and record breaking if we were account for factors such as housing, which used to factor in before the late 80’s) is the inflation *rate*. Regardless of leanings, awfully bad politics are what hammered our current economy, and it really is not doing very well if you do some digging beyond just the highlight reel of cherry picked stats you catch on the news. That said, the Losi offerings in recent years have been pretty damn stellar, and this looks no different. That Super Baja Rey 2.0 looking tasty.

[@DoRC]

Yeah I'm excited to see how this one is!

[@rcplaytime]

i love the lasernut even with ALL its problems, im very excited about this big one 😎😎👍👍

[@DoRC]

It certainly looks cool! If the drivetrain is even reasonably durable I think it'll be a good deal

[@Havingoneofthosedays-]

I love this body style. Hopefully it stayes together, durability wise

[@DoRC]

Yeah I'm really curious to see how the platform handles that much weight. It seemed very durable in my testing but this is going to be a lot more stress

I personally think its great it does not come with AVC its a complete PITA when you program it off and sometimes it turns itself on and you end up with a gyro going the wrong way, I will trade you my AVC receiver any day . Love all the great videos Thanks

[@DoRC]

It's an interesting point of view. I also Don't really use AVC so it's not a big deal for me though I've never really had a problem turning it off.

[@Truth_Spoken]

Pretty sweet rig, and $799 is a good price point for sure for a rig of this size.

[@DoRC]

Yeah as long as it can handle some reasonable bashing I think it's a decent deal.

[@alankowalski8781]

I don’t know what Losi is doing anymore. I kinda feel like they are heading in the wrong direction. “Scale and Race Inspired”, is a direct quote and their new mantra. To me it seems like the RC community is heading in one direction and Losi is doing its own thing without any thought. People have been begging for a re-release of the Losi 6ix, a bigger version of the LMT, whether that’s 1/7 or 1/5 scale. Instead we get a bigger version of a car that wasn’t that popular in the first place, and they continue to under power all of the vehicles they have been releasing lately. Poor handling, bad steering, and underpowered has been their thing lately.

[@DoRC]

But it does look cool :-). I think a lot of what you're seeing is a parent company trying to create products without stepping on its own toes. That can result in some compromises that are difficult to understand from the outside.

[@alankowalski8781]

@@DoRC see, I never thought of Losi as a “parent company” but more of the higher end devision of Horizon, with things like the DBXL, Super Baja Rey, and the Super Rocky Rey, or even take it back to the 6ix if you want to. Nobody was doing stuff like that and they still aren’t. The stuff they have been putting out recently doesn’t make me want to buy Losi products, it makes me want to steer clear. I have purchased some of their more recent releases of their smaller stuff. Man the quality was poor. I’m not saying that to exaggerate, but they are starting to make Traxxas look good.

[@V8chump]

The drivetrain BETTER be solid! The 1/10th lasernut always had diff issues and the tenacity line uses the same gears although I haven’t had any issues other than excessive gear wear since the internals are so small

[@DoRC]

Well unfortunately these drive train components are also going to be small relative to the size of the vehicle. They're all 1/8 scale stuff so we'll just have to see how they hold up.

[@NabiL_Lam]

Wow This makes me want to get back to this hobby

[@DoRC]

I'm pretty excited about it. I feel like this kind of scale vehicle really works well when they're big and heavy. Not sure how the 1/8 scale buggy drivetrain's going to handle it but I guess we'll see.

[@NabiL_Lam]

@@DoRC i hope its durable like the SBR 2.0

[@DoRC]

@@NabiL_Lam Yeah I'm really curious to see about its durability! I really have no idea how it will be.

[@calebrosenhauch4296]

Really hoping there’s gonna be a SBR 3.0 soon (ideally having the same upgrades the 1/10 br 2.0 had over the 1.0)

[@DoRC]

I'm sure they'll update it eventually.

[@BeardRubEnjoyer]

Looks cool, wonder how it looks as a taco.

[@DoRC]

Based on the lack of Tower to tower bracing I get the feeling I'm going to find out :-)

[@rccarsandmusic2641]

All these 800 plus ready to run RC in this economy! We need a series on buying and building rollers. I’m building a Felony roller for less than a RTR with parts I have already.

[@DoRC]

I don't think you'll really save money building a roller. If you have parts on hand that's cool but those parts cost you money at some point and that has to be taken into account.

[@tyshiddejuremanbey1313]

Under a Grand at that scale, it's inflationary friendly, One over My personal favorites, you bet!!!

[@DoRC]

Yeah as long as it's a reasonably competent basher I think it'll be a decent deal

[@FantasyGhost]

I always wanted a big scale rock crawler/racer. I’ll wait for your review and possible upgrades before jumping into the deep.

[@DoRC]

As soon as I get it you'll see it :-)

[@boduke9428]

I'd go with the Super Rock Rey. It was on sale cheaper than this recently and it's 8s.

[@DoRC]

@boduke9428 definitely on a decent option though the two trucks probably are going to handle pretty differently. I expect this to handle pretty well being based on a race truggy. The SRR is a solid axle truck so it's not going to be nearly as stable for general bashing

[@EJ-74]

Man that thing looks awesome, Hope it’s tougher than it’s little brother lol

[@DoRC]

Yeah me too. I guess we'll find out soon!

[@EJ-74]

I like it. I liked the 1/10 scale one as well, just never bought it. I guess ive been more into larger scale and steering clear of amaller RCs. Ill probably get one myself, but i have a few other RCS still on my list.

[@DoRC]

The big stuff is definitely fun. The increased mass really changes the way they handle.

[@nicktech007]

Tires look like scx6 tires, maybe same size wheels?

[@DoRC]

The tires do look similar but I don't think they're the same

[@michaelschaeffer3147]

Excellent video

[@DoRC]

Thanks glad you enjoyed!

[@rushgush]

even the real world rock racer has its limits too. if i got one and jumped it 50 feet and broke it, does it mean its bad? no, its bad of me to jump it 50 feet high.

[@DoRC]

Well at least for me it's more important to compare this to its competition rather than to its full size counterpart. Fortunately for this vehicle it doesn't really have a lot of direct competition due to its lower price for its size but people will probably still compare it to other vehicles of the same size and again at least in my opinion any modern basher needs to be able to handle a certain amount of abuse We will definitely be seeing what it can take!

[@chriscottell6854]

[@jonspikes4935]

Any Color Options

[@DoRC]

The red is the only one as far as I know

[@jonspikes4935]

@DoRC Ok thanks

[@dylanwhite6539]

Wait, why on earth does it include the DX3? They’ve literally never paired the dx3 with a non avc receiver before. The entire point of them making the DX3 was for avc rtrs and the sr315 dual protocol was entirely so they could use the cheaper slt3 transmitters. I mean I guess we get battery telemetry? Idk. Seems weird. If it were a little bit cheaper, even just 750, I’d be willing to look past all of that. 6s in a car that size is interesting, but redcat did it with the machete first and that’s still on my radar. But it’s also a lot cheaper. Then again Traxxas is getting away with an eye watering $770 for the sledge, which is really disappointing now that the erevo is dead. There’s not really any great go to 6s trucks right now. The standard ARRMAs are too fragile, and I’ve found the motors are over geared out of the box, the EXBs are $700. Team corally pricing seems better but at the sacrifice of parts support in the US at least. I miss the days when everyone was competing against the erevo priced at $549. I remember I bought mine at $579 and it’s been the longest running member of my fleet. 5 years and it still has original diff internals, front diff, center diff, stub axles the rest of the outer suspension parts, minus the bearings, chassis and shocks. I think my Xmaxx and xrt have gone through more parts.

[@DoRC]

Well keep in mind that prices are definitely just going to continue to go up that's how the world works but I do think TC is a great option. They have a few places in the US you can get most parts from and even if not you can get anything from their online European store and usually it's 4 day shipping to the US. As far as the transmitter and receiver I know I've seen that combination before I just can't remember which vehicle it was in. Maybe someone else can chime in and refresh my memory. It does seem kind of like a silly thing though and it feels like they are giving the transmitter because that's what people will see but then sheeping out on the receiver because half the people that buy the truck will probably never open the receiver box.

[@TMIVRC]

Arrma needs to 1/5 scale the Mojave do you see that happening ? Or just a new 1/5 scale car at least ? At 6s this seems criminal

[@DoRC]

I'm really not sure. It seems like something that would be cool but to make it bigger enough than the 1/7th scale Mojave to not directly compete with it it would be a pretty big truck. I'm going to reserve my judgment until I try it but it does seem like 6S is a bit anemic for this size of truck. They say it'll do 50 miles an hour though so if that's true it's not going to be too weak.

[@jspeedrc]

Si on compare au hpi 5sc flux la motorisation est casiment pareil ,ce n'est pas un problème 2000/2200 kv 6s pour 7kg a 8kg ,,il serait mieu en 8s mais 6s pourrait suffir tout va dépendre de la façons de conduire et de la démultiplication

[@DoRC]

I'm not necessarily that concerned about the power system. I'm more concerned about the drivetrain as it is a 1/8 scale buggy drivetrain and that's a lot of weight.

[@jspeedrc]

@@DoRC 🤔 oui je suis d'accord avec toi ,mais on aura peut-être une bonne surprise..

[@themountain59]

Spectrum electronics? 😂😂😂 No go

[@DoRC]

Well it's a horizon product so you're going to be limiting yourself pretty severely if you don't buy anything with spektrum electronics in it.

[@dadario1946]

same size xmaxx? 2250kv 6s😂... same as running xmaxx 4s😢

[@DoRC]

Maybe. This will be the same length but it'll be a bit more narrow and I'm guessing quite a bit lighter. They're saying 50 miles an hour so if it's anywhere near that it should do pretty well. We shall see.

[@Vincent-team-magic]

Just a losi 8IGHT buggy , weak transmission for this weight and scale, 4074 and 6s to weak run time and a lot of heat, and arm look thin, spring look to short

[@DoRC]

Maybe we shall see :)

[@captaincouldverc]

I think losi is really pulling fast one on ya'll. Being it's based on a 8th scale truggy chassis, expect similar dimensions to a kagama or arrma breakton. As for the price, For 800, I would much prefer the eight xte. But that's losi pricing for ya 😆

[@DoRC]

I highly doubt that they're lying about the size of the car. That would be pretty weird. You can tell from the pictures of the chassis it's very long. I'm not really sure this is in direct competition with the XTE as this is a large-scale basher in the XTE is a competition race vehicle. We shall see how good it is though as I have one pre-ordered!

[@captaincouldverc]

​​@@DoRC Yeah you're right, I see now. After looking a bit deeper into specs, there's some very confusing info on this at first glance. Yes it is bigger than those truggies. At 522mm in wheelbase, it's almost 100mm longer than the fireteam. What's confused me is the whole "8ight-x" name and parts compatability with the 8ight line. It appears to me it's all new bigger chassis, using 8ight drivetrain and compatible suspension parts.

[@DoRC]

@captaincouldverc Yeah that's pretty much what's going on I think. Basically it's a stretched 8ight truggy. I'm definitely curious to see how that platform handles such a big truck.

[@captaincouldverc]

​@@DoRC Yeah I'm curious too. My initial thought now is, with the chassis at only 4mm thick, how are they going strengthen such a long chassis and keep it from doing the floppy? Maybe they are more width to it aswell? Either way it's going to be a fascinating release.

[@DoRC]

@@captaincouldverc Not sure. I think the buggy chassis is only 3 mm thick but I'm not 100% certain about that. Either way I still think this thing's going to taco on a really bad landing. Will probably find out though.

[@mattmaclearn263]

I thought it would be 1k$

[@DoRC]

I think they were able to keep it lower by having that extended 6S platform underneath it.

[@tripletrc5654]

So they raised the minimum wage so people can buy more toys, but the rest of us have to pay 25$ for a cheese burger lol what a world.

[@DoRC]

The only constant is change :-)

[@VS666]

While I am VERY excited about a large scale Losi car, two of my favorite things in this hobby, I am highly skeptical. 6S doesn't fee like enough power and the 10th scale had it's fair share of problems. My DBXLE2.0 is one of my favorite cars but you have to drive it "scale", and expect to spend another $200 on wheels/tires at a minimum, and don't forget to loctite ALL the chassis screws!!! It's another $400 for a reason, much more truck than a 6S large scale On the Lasernut 10 Scale... I did a very thorough breakdown and review of my likes and dislikes of the Lasernut, overall it was "pretty alright", it's basically a DB Pro with more ground clearance. The shallow wheel hexes still have not been changed to this day, I really hope they don't make that mistake again. All of my bearings are pretty much done at the point and I have maybe 10 hours on this car, I am fairly good about cleaning and maintenance. The 10th scale version feels really slow for a 4S capable car, compared to the Mojave or 8IGHT XE RTR it's very slow. I didn't have any of the quality control issues (diff and shocks being empty) but I have gone through three sets of front and rear gears already. While I do really like the car I couldn't recommend it to anyone unless it's on a really banging clearance (I've seen them sub $300) or secondhand with a lot of upgrades. I have an 8IGHT XTE on order because I loved the XE RTR so much, but I will probably wait on the Super Nut, $800 feels appropriate though considering the 8IGHT RTR is about $680

[@DoRC]

Yeah I would say as long as it can actually bash the prices very reasonable for what it is.

[@johnvaz2048]

Nope not for $800. The 1/10 version was to much at $529. Nice rc but I will not add to my fleet. Sorry Losi no sale. Love the video though

[@DoRC]

I don't know for the size of the truck, the platform it's based on and the scale details you get 800 kind of doesn't feel too bad to me but it all depends on how it actually handles bashing

[@rushgush]

Wasn't the last lazernut known for being fragile since they did the same thing putting bigger stuff on a smaller base chassis? I want more stuff like the Summit myself lol

[@DoRC]

Yeah it was and this one kind of threatens to be the same thing. Hopefully the platform that it's on can handle it because if it can this would make a great lower cost large scale basher. I guess we will see :-) I've got mine pre-ordered!

[@DoRC]

They probably think they'll make more money this way.

[@3SonsRC]

Nice vid bro, I know it's not a "send it" rig but for something that long to NOT have aluminum chassis braces or an aluminum center brace is just ignirance on Losi's part missing the fact that RC is headed more towards Bashing and jumps than most other segments.... Cool let it be a rock crawler/bouncer but if I want to hit some jumps with it should be able to handle that too.... What does it cost like 5 dollars to make the parts I'm talking about. This is why Arrma and Traxxas dominate, they build their rigs tougher and to be able to take more than what there intended. Example, the Infraction is a Street Basher, but my boy Bars & Tone has sent his off quaterpipes for fun and it's extremely durable. This does look like a solid rig though the biggest complaint about the OG Lazernut was hts durability.... We shall see, I REALLY hope I'm wrong

[@DoRC]

Yeah the proof in the pudding and we'll see how it bashes but I'm skeptical. I completely agree with what you're saying though. A company can build a car for whatever they want but people are going to bash it and they're going to smash it up and it needs to be able to handle that for it to be considered good by modern standards. We shall see!

[@fiatfixie4344]

I'd be curious about the weight, they leave it out on the website.. If it's much heavier than a Big Rock I don't think that will be good.

[@DoRC]

I suspect it's going to be similar in weight to the big rock. It's larger but the big rock body is about as heavy as you can make a body. We shall see!

[@thatsmyrc]

I would have loved a 1/5 scale version yet I can settle for 1/6 👍🏼

[@DoRC]

Yeah I think this is going to be pretty cool.

[@AsurasWrath164]

The regular lasernut had massive issues with diff-input-gear bearings at least. They are way too small and I know of several ppl who had problems with bearings literally disintegrating. I wonder what size this drivetrain will have. It looks awesome though.

[@DoRC]

This is going to be the 8ight buggy platform so I think it's going to be getting pushed pretty hard.

[@joshleyba3854]

better off getting the DBXL 2.0. If this was 8s I could get excited

[@DoRC]

That's a tough comparison. The DBXL 2.0 is a lot larger and a lot more expensive.

[@L2theWcarscoffeelife]

Looks amazing, I agree at a certain price point the avc receiver should be standard why did the Kraton get it and not the Big Rock? So far I have not broken anything on my Lasernut I dont understand the fragile part but I dont try to bash mine either I have other cars for that. I hope the wheels are a bit stronger not the flimsy feeling ones on the original I took my wheel off put a wing on it lol I think it looks good

[@DoRC]

Well if you don't really bash the laser nut then you're probably not going to break it. Personally I think anything that isn't specifically being sold as a display piece needs to be able to handle a certain amount of abuse these days because that's just what people expect. Obviously something like this shouldn't be bashed like an X-Max but it needs to be able to jump and crash without falling apart. We will see :-)

Typical Losi. They have a beautiful shell with underwhelming performance and everything else. It might be fine on 6s actually, its probably only a few lbs heavier than an Arrma Big Rock 6s. Also Losi doesnt care if electronics run hot, just that it gets by. The lasernut sucked because it was based on a much smaller 3s trophy truck platform. When it comes to rtr rigs no one scams worse than Losi. Only a few respectable rigs from this company. Amazing to think its the same company from the 1990s....not...lol They do have the best looking rcs in the game tho no doubt

Interesting.

[@Nickwillfixit]

I always have to chuckle when I hear a statement as you will remove the spare wheel/wheels, as I explained to a friend who removed the spares off his UDR/SBR/Krake-RC Vekta5 and the Trophy truck, then wonder why they dont handle well rear end donkey kicks, or it does not accelerate well because the back does not sink down and grip, dont you think the manufacturers have done due diligence testing with and without the spares, now I have all these plus afew others with one each rhe Yikong Ford Bronco-R Fun-Haver along with a FID Drgonhammer, now they all work good not perfect all need some suspension tuning as all do for preference, coming from the world of full size suspension building and tuning for hell too long, they work well because they followed the theory of 1-1 Trophy Trucks, Class 1's, Ultra 4's etc and they work best with spare plus a full gas tank hanging out the back for traction whether two or four wheel drive, so my thoughts are hell it works for them and the RC manufacturers have tested and run with it. End of the day we are all our own man and no harm in testing but I feel you may be surprised having said all that great quick look and good info I will be adding one to my extensive fleet including dont get me started, a few road cars now they need a lot more doing to get a good handling car to hoon.

[@DoRC]

Oh yeah I know I'll need to tune the suspension in order to accommodate the reduced weight in the rear but it's usually fairly easy to do and unlike on a full-size car where the spare tire gas can etc are essentially necessary evils they don't actually have to be on this car and are literally just there for looks. Anytime you can remove weight from a vehicle it's beneficial especially when that weight doesn't actually accomplish anything.

[@craiglamb9029]

Nah this isnt it. It looks a bit cheap, and overpriced... Go Losi Super Baja Rey for a lil more $, and toughness...... or go Traxxas udr for the most authentic scale desert driving experience. This 1/6 laser nut looks to offer too little for too much. The same issue i had withe 1/10 Lasernut.

[@DoRC]

Maybe though if this has a decent amount of durability I think it'll be a reasonable deal. The SBR and UDR really aren't direct competition as they are solid axle trucks and that makes a huge difference in how they handle.

[@Strungrat]

Looking forward to your review. I like the size and look. Low weight is a plus cause my 8s vehicles get heavy but like you wonder how the drivetrain will hold up to 6s since it was originally on 4s. Would be awesome if I could use my 4s packs for my xrt and outcast 8s and just set to low punch on a lower kv motor(will change out esc anyways for a sensored system). The only real thing I can complain about is for the price I think it should have the sensored HW system the 8's do.

[@DoRC]

The 8s systems are actually sensorless in spectrum form. That being said I'm not entirely sure this drivetrain will handle 8S.

[@salesale204]

Perfect vid. The car self…..look at the motor. Too small for this sice. I bet it will get hot very quickly. 6S is not enough for this sice. But they have to bring the price down. The rest, we will see.

Not sure. They say the thing will do 50 miles an hour which if it can get anywhere near that it should be doing pretty good. Temps could definitely be a problem but we'll see.

That combo in my Infraction and Fireteam isn't underpowered. In the Fireteam it has enough power even with the speed pinion installed for standing back flips and the Fireteam isn't a short or lightweight rig. I'm surprised it's not 8s but not disappointed. I actually grabbed a Super Rock Rey when they were marked down below $600 a while back. It's still in the box but Losi already has a 8s Rock Buggy. I'm not sure where this is supposed to fit in. I'm really confused who it's meant for. I'm not bothered by it but also not really excited. Hopefully it'll be great and I end up with one. I love large scale rigs and already have all of them there are that I want. Crazily enough the only large scale anything I've had and been dissatisfied with enough to not keep was the DBXLE. I want a large scale buggy release more than anything else right now. Just not those type buggies. I want a Huge 8s Typhon type buggy or a new electric 5b. I'd be happy with a large scale LMT and Mojave also. A basher brother to my SBR 2.0 or a Raminator that didn't break every time you thought about driving it.

@@boduke9428 I have it in my fireteam and infraction too and it’s fast, but those are smaller cars 1:7 scale. 1:6 scale is the closer to xmaxx and outcast 8s scaling. Then again my infraction is 8s now so it’s even faster. Anyway, that should have been 8s capable with that length.

[@Macgyver46]

I think I just found my new grail rig. I definitely will try and get one and give it a lot of TLR upgrades.

[@DoRC]

It certainly is cool looking! I just hope it can bash

[@Macgyver46]

@DoRC the original handled city bashing over and off curbs, and the different terrains I could come across in parks etc. If I didn't slam headfirst into sold concrete my lasernut would be on my shelf still. Being larger and 6S means the few obstacles the 10th scale had issues with won't be an issue being bigger. Being disabled and on a limited income I probably am just dreaming about one.

[@DoRC]

@@Macgyver46 Yeah I think for light bashing like that it'll probably be fine. I'm curious to see I would handles moderate bashing though

[@cannibal666]

I hope the diffs are better than the 1/10 scale my lasernut diffs always broke And came unmeshed wtf

[@DoRC]

Well I definitely are better but are they going to be able to handle the weight of this truck? We'll just have to wait and see

[@cannibal666]

@@DoRC right ?

[@DoRC]

@@cannibal666 can't wait to get mine. It's been a while since I got a big truck.

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

Awesome. Loved my Lazernut but it broke all the time. Hopefully this has more durability or like the original Lazernut only made for light bashing. Thanks for the first look mate 😊

[@DoRC]

Yeah we'll see how it goes!

[@JapanRCAdventuresS]

Nope! Il pass…Too expensive, ugly and underpowered at 6S.

[@DoRC]

Well the looks are definitely a personal thing and the power will just have to see but the price is actually pretty good for how big it is and how detailed it is.

[@JapanRCAdventuresS]

@@DoRC well if the parts used were of a high quality “say T7075 Chassis & Towers” or metal bulkheads, or 8S Powered, at least bead locked tires, something!!!! (its cheaply built - the plastic details of the body etc don’t add to the quality of the rig), The 4074 sized motor is a joke on a rig this size. 4mm Standard metal chassis is nothing to brag about, the aluminum looks very cheap as is in the smaller rig.. True, the look is a personal thing , just my opinion :). It basically has a 1/8th scale drivetrain (and electronics) on a 1/6th scale platform, making this rig overpriced for what you get out of the box.

[@DoRC]

@@JapanRCAdventuresS All of those things would be cool but if it had all the stuff that a normal vehicle of its size had it would basically be the DBXLE and it would cost $1,200 like the DB XLE does. Being two-thirds the price will open this up to a lot of people that wouldn't buy the DBXLE and as long as it's decently durable it could be a good car and it might even handle better than the DBXLE given that it's based on a race truggy platform

[@JapanRCAdventuresS]

@@DoRC Let’s not even go there! The DBXLE is another overpriced underperforming constantly breaking platform that needs major upgrades & I suspect it will not be any different with this rig.

[@DoRC]

@JapanRCAdventuresS we'll see. I have high hopes for it given how durable the underlying platform seemed to be in my testing.

[@tontoapache4948]

Hopefully it's durable. I couldn't even sell my Lasernut on the second hand market for a reasonable price; I've since stopped throwing money at it so it sits on the shelf looking as cool as it can with broken front shocks 😢

[@DoRC]

The platform that it's on seems pretty tough but this is also a lot of weight so we'll have to see

[@mac305mia01]

Its not bad. Seeing that the redcat 1/5 is around that price. A 4282/92 motor will make this amazing.

[@DoRC]

As long as the drivetrain can handle it I agree.

[@GreatLakesRC]

Glad you will be doing the testing on this one. I am very very skeptical. If it was 8s I would have wanted one

[@DoRC]

Yeah I'm also pretty skeptical. They say 50 miles an hour which definitely isn't slow so I guess we'll see :-)

[@boduke9428]

Super Rock Rey anyone? This is almost redundant, more so if it's 8s. I'm just all around confused about it.

[@DoRC]

Where is these dude look similar I don't think they're going to handle the same. The SRR is solid rear axle which makes a huge difference in its driving dynamics.

[@OmniMan_Racing]

Much more appealing than the smaller scale version

[@DoRC]

I tend to agree. I think big scale vehicles are a lot more fun than small scale vehicles so I'm excited to get this.

[@jonspikes4935]

@DoRC Gonna have to get me one i have the 1/10 version

[@jinesd1]

That thing looks awesome, i need it.

[@DoRC]

It's definitely a cool looking car!

[@jinesd1]

@@DoRC I have the 1/10 scale and love it. Great channel and love your style of videos.👍

[@AndrewSury]

I do love my big Losis. Def on my list.

[@DoRC]

Yeah I'm pretty skeptical about its bash ability but I guess we'll see :-)

[@AndrewSury]

@@DoRC it is a Losi so the axles are 10 year old Redcat strong.

[@feki122]

I'm hoping Losi comes with a bigger scale LMT, that would be cool.

[@DoRC]

@@feki122 I would definitely be interested in that. I can't quite afford a primal raminator but I would definitely go for a bigger LMT!

[@Blimpus]

You have to appreciate the scale realism of this bad boy, sitting next to the real thing, it looks damn impressive!

[@DoRC]

I agree and I think the larger the vehicle is the more scale it feels when you drive it. Mass increases with the square of size and that inertia of the mass of the vehicle makes a huge difference on how it feels going over terrain
