BEST RC for Under $500 ! Losi Lasernut U4 (MUST HAVE & Here's Why...)

[@jeremystewart1785]

Every time i watch your videos i wanna go out and rip and bash. The fun is infectious lol. Thanks for the info !

[@TheRcKiwis]

Hey Jeremy! That's awesome to hear! We had so much fun with the lasernut, editing the video made me just want to charge up the battery, go back out and bash!😁🍻

[@jauken83]

That Lasernut really ties the room together. The dude abides.

[@davidhuffaker4559]

Mine i had to rebuild the center differential i shimmed it with 3 shims and it runs great !! I re did the front and rear as well it is a GREAAT RC !!! I LOVE IT !!! 30k in the center and 10k in rear and front

[@Mrf388]

Joe, your jumping (and fliping) skills are getting better every video. Great vid guys.and Amber, you look amazing as always.

[@TheRcKiwis]

Thanks bro! Appreciate it! If only my driving skill around the track would improve 😂 will be heading back there very soon!

i love your guys videos a lot you guys aren’t like other rc youtubers that just put music over the video you guys actually talk and make it interesting

[@CaliforniaNitro]

I agree. Excellent channel!

[@TheRcKiwis]

Thank youuu! 🙏😇 we like to put in the time to make a fun and entertaining video to watch! 🍻

[@olipogeni]

theoretically the car is really one of the coolest one but the problem was that the car all the time has broken something. it's to heavy for the parts....so i had to bring it back.

[@fishnrc294]

That thing is just SICK! I hear some saying that the electronics etc. in the Losi’s are not that great but I’m wondering what there being compared to because I see nothing but quality. There prices are definitely high but when I look at the models inside & out it’s hard to find anything that’s junk or performs bad. Now I haven’t driven one so I cannot say for sure how it performs but Losi has definitely gotten my attention.

[@Ben-lo7cy]

Nice to see a channel doing realistic driving instead of launching it 40 feet in the air and acting surprised something broke. I really like that car too, I’ve been trying to decide on one that has the ultra 4 look.

[@SpeedSyko]

I have this! The rear tire acts like a brake on a roller blade during wheelie. I took it off and put a wing and a higher wheelie bar on it! Can’t wait to watch the video and get opinions. Thanks GUYS!

[@TheRcKiwis]

Awesome! Thanks for watching 😊🙏🏽

[@loum7008]

This is the rc my wife wants to drive. She loves it! You figured out this isn't a basher like an Arrma!!! BTW the steel drive shafts are easy to straightened. I changed the shock oil to 40wt that took some of the bounce out. Servo upgrade is a must with the huge tiees as is cranking the servo saver tight as possible. I put in my old trx4 stock servo, works fine. Adjust the endpoints helped steering alot too. Thanks for the review and cool video!!! I use mine mainly on the trail and rocks at a reservation near my house. The Lasernut will do most of the crawler trails, I just need to control the bounce. You're going to have a blast with this. It is unlike any RTR out today. Sorry for the babble, have a great day!

[@TheRcKiwis]

Thank you so much for sharing your advice and tips! Nevertheless we will still put it through the 4 levels of durability to see if it will achieve the Kiwi Tough stamp of approval! 😁🍻

[@loum7008]

@@TheRcKiwis Looking forward to it!!! 👍 One more thing, keep an eye on the tire glue, water got into my wheels and the foam deteriorated. Got new ones coming. Oh, I put the SCTE bump on mine. It actually looks good and really protects the front. No need to reply I'm sure you guys are super busy!!!

[@toddsie72]

Sweet action guys - My next r.c for sure ! Also, just turn the battery 180 degrees from recommended, so the cable faces forward, and the cables should sit lower-profile.

[@cowboy21745]

I don't have one but really want one but can't afford it now. I do have a little bit of the money but not all of it . And yes like your content and reviews

[@emanuel616]

Well maybe if they made a aluminum bulkhead for it, I seen the inner diffs bearings are held in by a small piece of plastic

[@stack8778]

I think you guys gave the Lasernut a pretty good run, and overall it handled everything fairly good. I do agree with you on the points you made as people shouldn’t have to change driveshafts or axles after hitting a few jumps or from a day of just having a good time with your Rc, and yes they are fairly cheap, but who wants to do all the work replacing them all the time as that makes people turn away from using their unit as much as they’d like to and all because of the driveshafts being a little weaker than they should be, I also think a rear light would’ve been nice but I do understand there’s not much room back there to add one, but I do think all Rc’s should come with lights nowadays as they do offer a better driver experience being able to see what way your unit is facing and how far away it is as it does make a big difference. Keep up the Great Work and Vids ! Stay and Play Safe !! 👊✌️

[@TheRcKiwis]

It certainly does help with orientation when driving ! Day or night, and really good at when at the track too especially for us amateurs 😅🍻

[@chm2]

[@TheRcKiwis]

Thank you so much! We appreciate you for the kind words and for watching our videos 😊🤩

[@gi3lz]

Tbh.. losi is my dream rc car. Period.

[@mattm1841]

if you buy one of these please google how to shim a diff and then shim and grease all three diffs. They will exploded within 3-5 batteries and the front shafts WILL pop before the 3rd battery lol. Once you shim and fill the fluids like it should of been from the factory it is my favorite car!

[@TheRcKiwis]

So far 6 batts through and still running like new! 😁 thanks for the tips! 🍻

[@SeleverRyan]

This vs outcast. Which one would u recommend I saw both of the videos

[@shadow7796]

You guys should review the Axial Ryft. I really want an off-road racer and right now it's a toss-up between the Lasernut and the Ryft. It also has solid front and rear diffs.

[@rob2738]

I had a Lasernut for 2 weeks then sent it back. Looks amazing but very poorly built. I now have the Axel Ryft! It’s in a different league. 👍

Those lights on the light bar look like Samsung LM301B/H diodes (whichever the waterproof one is) on a quantum board... I just found it a bit funny because if they are what I think they are, they're basically LEDs used by indoor gardeners!

[@bobsennick7403]

I love love love my Lasernut! So glad you two got one. It's just so stable and smooth over terrain. Looks amazing. I got mine the week it came out and it's been run like crazy. I have had some complaints about the durability. Losi has been good about helping me out with parts and they've made some good running changes in production. I've done a bunch of upgrades- let me know if you want some advice on some parts! Edit: Hah had a chance to finish the video. Bent driveshafts! I broke one really early. Pretty light session for bent parts. I think it's due to those giant tires and wheels, really. No trouble with my lights. Stinks you lost a couple so early. Tekno and Vitavon (mmmmm Vitavon...) make upgraded replacements. I want the Vitavon knuckles, shafts, housings... I have like a $400 US wish list on top of the big $ I already spent. But this thing is an amazing platform for upgrades. You could spend a couple grand and get real benefits from each hop up!

[@loum7008]

What Bob said!!! I upgraded my diffs with TEN SCTE 3.0 diffs. That fixed the diff issues. I've run over a 100 packs through this. I changed the shock oil to 40wt, that took some of the bounce out. Great rig. I'd recommend waiting for the V2 although seems like some issues may have been fixed.
