TAKING THE LOSI NASCAR RC RACE CAR FROM CONCEPT TO CHECKERED FLAG

[@jaywill530]

In the 80's we raced NASCARs RC's all the time. We had great high banked concrete and asphalt tracks, like Whippoorwill, Dalton, Jasper, Nashville and dozens more all over the country. We used pan cars with "Capped" tires. It was great. It was the most fun time in RC for me.... then it died. I'm glad to see it come back, but it isn't new !!

[@LosiRacing]

thanks... what we mean by "new" is that those cars in the 80's were not officially licensed and came RTR... they had to be built and they were difficult for NASCAR families to join in the fun, which is part of the reason it died :) When RC gets complicated and/or expensive it drives people away.

[@bigalrc]

I’m so excited!!! Been waiting my whole life for a hobby grade licensed rtr nascar rc.. I’m so so stoked!! Thank you! Need to get one asap for a review and laps on a real track!

we think so too and hope the 3D print guys do it... we cant do it and keep it under $200

[@BetriebAnin]

I love the idea of bringing RC to the masses, and this is just about the best way to do it. NASCAR is the largest Motorsport in the US, so it’s definitely the right route, at least for America. I bet they’d sell crazy if they were to be sold at actual NASCAR events and races. I know it’s made for inexperienced people in RC, but as an enthusiast I would’ve liked to see a metal chassis like the one on the mini T and mini B but more angular to fit the shape of the car, kind of like the shape of an Arrma 3s chassis but metal. RWD is also an obvious desire, as real stock cars are rwd with rear solid axles. But if Losi took the time and money to design a whole different platform, it’d be so much more expensive. They definitely went the right route with this, it looks amazing.

[@LosiRacing]

I got into this hobby when I picked up a couple 1/16 Tamiya buggies for me and a buddy to run while we were camping at Phoenix Raceway for the cup race many years ago. When I needed more out of a small platform like that I bought my first Losi... a Mini 8ight, which held-up well enough to be prominently displayed in my living room when it was finally time to retire it.

@LosiRacing these look awesome! Now a few customer suggestions is to bring in a crazy amount of body styles, such as 60/70/80/90/00's Stock cars, especially @mopar bodies such as the Daytona and Superbird for sure! Biggest seller will be the body kits! Easiest way would be to bundle them. Buy the chassis and pick your body. May add a few steps but it'll be worth it. Wheel options will be a big item too, even though its tough to do with the center nut, i know you can do it! This platform will blow up incredibly fast! Especially if the customization options are behind it for the generations past! As with the other comments, i too would love to see a 1/5th scale but i feel the 1/8th scale would be the goldilocks size for this platform.

@@LosiRacing Ha,ha. 90% is a little much, don't you think.? A bad setup can't be compensated with good tires...! But for example; i am very limited in tires for my 1/10 2wd BUGGY on asphalt... Only have 2 choices. Use PL's in colder an less grippy situations, when warmer LOUISE's since they are WAY cheaper to run. So from my point off view and experiences with PROLINE (also got multiple 1/8 rc's, buggy, truggy, sc, monstertruck) i would say they still could do better in many ways...

Might I also suggest making a 200mm 10th scale body to fit regular Touring Car platforms? I love the 12 scale idea as an entry level, but those of us that just prefer 10th scale need someone to fill the gap. I know there is an Xfinity Centric Camaro-like body out there. but No Ford or Toyota, and none of them are Cup. I haven't had a Cup body since 2011, and it was the 2007 era body. I love that the 3 makes have clear body options already listed, and you can bet I'll grab one of the clear Fords to go with my Ford RTR. I've got Traxxas, Tamiya, and now Kyosho. I'll be adding Losi to my fleet for sure, but 10th scale is my preferred framework. I'd also love to see a soft, medium, hard, dirt, and wet tires for the NASCAR options. The full array, in 10 and 12 scale. and for giggles, why not the rain light to fit in an upgraded diffuser? Y'want scale, do scale! Not many are doing scale race cars, unless you talk baja or the occasional GT Touring Car. My Kyosho Mercedes gets tail lights and DRL lights, but still no rain light 😁
