Losi will always be my favorite brand. They just know how to build anything!!! Always a quality product.

[@blackbirdrc8348]

Man Losi is killing it lately. Cant wait for the rest of the tenacity series to get this treatment.

[@BillKisel]

Very informative review. Your reviews always seem to have just the right amount of information without going overboard on stuff we can easily check ourselves.

[@TruSwagTv2]

Great review I think losi have some of the most amazing cars 🤜🏽🤛🏻💯

[@JUICY_TIME]

Sweet unboxing👏👍👍 looking forward to the run😁

[@sillygingerkid1161]

So awesome to see that the Losi TEN platform is being continued. Fell in love with the hobby again when I bought my Losi Ten SCBE a couple years ago. Good design and race proven and improved over the years. Now that they have newly branded motor under the Spektrum name, wonder if it will run cooler then the dynamite ones did. The new esc is interesting too and hopefully it is still a basic rebranding of a hobby wing. Looking forward to the running videos.

[@NOTORIOUS_J_RC]

Nice breakdown Vas. Was so close to pulling the trigger on one, now kind of regretting it. Keep it up and looking forward to watching the real running test. 👍💪👊

[@TpPartsRcXtreme]

Awsome Vas as normal. Just woleup 1.43am..can bearly wait for session with it ❣🥰

[@davidburke5686]

Nice work Vas.

[@robertridenour803]

I bet she is a ripper! Can’t wait to see the running video.

[@SB-lj1wd]

I would love to see you testing the new losi dbxl-e 2.0.

[@michaelmikkelsen6421]

Great review as usual... Kinda makes me wanna get a Losi! But I will hold off until the running video comes out! It does look very nice in the “Lucas oil” paint though! Great job Vas!

[@jasonbudd2950Jag]

TY for sharing.

[@ReadySetRC]

Excellent overview as always👍👍 It sounds like somebody at Losi is listening. After years of making these goodies as option parts, they decided to put them in the kit and at a reasonable price. This kit would have been perfect at the old bash spot😢 Can't wait to see it at Altona. I know you will be putting it through it's paces.

[@Germanrcplayground]

Hey Vas. Great to see that you go hard again with Videos. The hingepin braces have Aluminum in there

[@sc10rs]

Awesome unboxing mate!! This rig looks awesome! Really interested in spektrums new smart tech, looking forward to the future vids once you have tested it! 👍🇦🇺🍻

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thanks heaps Travis. Drove it today and can confirm this buggy handles like a dream. Very well balanced, good power on 2S, but really good on 3S and tyres are actually worth keeping. Definitely one of the better cars I've driven recently.

[@ianhearnden4471]

looks fkn awsome guys.... im gonna buy one for sure £389 here in uk

[@RCPropaganda]

nice stuff

[@that_radio_control_guy1911]

Sweet!

[@craigpoer]

Beautiful car

[@stevewest7260]

All my Tenacity's that's a plastic cover over the hinge pin brace.

[@MrGdbsti05]

yes omg the axial exo buggy was a 18 screws to take off the body. i loved the RC appearance for the time but now theres better

[@jessie38supercharged]

those tiny holes are for putting an Allen wrench through to adjust the drop screw. this way the head of the screw hits the chassis instead of the threaded side of the screw. doesnt dig into the chassis this way.

[@LulzRoyce]

Any tips on sealing the receiver box? A rubber seal? Some kind of temp waterproof glue on the seams?

[@12R1rcbashr]

Sweet video review my brotha that thing looks awesome can't wait to see this thing rip thanks for sharing happy bashing bud.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thanks heaps, bro. 👍😊

[@ParcoUpchurch]

@@AussieRCPlayground Confused. I appreciate the videos for newbies like me. This is the first vid for the DB Pro you made and you say we NEED to use the 15T pinion with 3S battery per the manual. You made a video using the 3S battery and noted in the title it was STOCK. Stock meaning you swapped the pinion to 15T when you did the 3S video...or you left the 17T in while doing the 3S video. Thoughts, Sir?

[@SenorBolsa]

I like the design of this looks nice to work on, couldn't really care less about SMART though, just doesnt add anything I care about.

[@bestamerica]

' what country made this R/C buggy car

[@vapeapetn]

Can this hold the 3S 100C spectrum batteries? I feel most people would run this at 3S, not 2S. Plus if wanted to run 4S, this ESC should handle it, cause same ESC as new Kraton 4S. However I think a simple motor change would be all thats needed to get 4S. I feel certain this suspension and drivetrain could handle 4S with ease.

[@DiogoReis]

Between this one and the arma kraton 6s, wich one drives better? I've read the specs on both, one is 3s but has almost half the weight and both have similar top speeds... I like the scale appearance on the losi and also the telemetry.... Between the two, wich one would you choose? Thanks for sharing 👍

[@GreatLakesRC]

Nice overview! Will be very curious to hear your opinion of the smart technology 👍 Please use a non smart battery as well.

[@colbyblair6650]

So I bought the fox edition either way same everything right right so what I noticed right off the bat was the plastic wheels are thin real thin after just 2 drives messing around ans a couple fumbles and tumbles they all cracked so I do suggest buying they grey losi tenacity db pro wheels they're a little more thicker but definitely more durable ! And put a fan over your motor she runs hot even after changing the pinion gear to 3s

[@dominic9279]

Awesome review. Vas can you point me in the right direction for an rc jump?

[@stevenbarlow7088]

Hi mate. I just bought a Losi eight-e . Just wandering what battery you recommend?

[@MoBay876rc]

Like #57 great review it’s on my list looks very scaled

[@zankuro14]

Should I be using a 30C or 50C 3s battery with this car. I am new to this so forgive me if I am asking a silly question.

[@chubs6362]

nice

[@Jayde.S]

That chassis looks a lot like my tlr ten scte 3.0.. Which has me wondering if the spur gear cover and battery tray (can't fit 3s in the tlr) would bolt right in

[@sillygingerkid1161]

Saw that the chasis looked like my Losi Ten SCBE and had to check the website. This car is a continuation of the Losi Ten platform according to Horizon Hobby.

[@damondavis842]

Good morning 👍

[@TobbeArnesson]

I guess it's the same receiver as in Arrma Infraction and that one is not to keen on water. I got water in my receiver box and got erratic behavior as a result. After drying out it's A-OK again.

[@joebran5413]

Nice pick up on the pinion gears Vas. Ive had a look at some other videos and no one else has mentioned this. Personally I think the warning is more precautionary. Having said that if I had one I wouldn't be using 17T with 3S. Would love to see Losi releasing the same tech with something like the 8IGHT-T E .

[@matthewaugsburger536]

I am running a 13 tooth pinion on 3s in mine. It's more than fast enough

[@TheTechBuyersGuru]

Great overview! I think this car is arriving at just the right time, melding scale and basher features. How do you feel a car like this fits into the RC pantheon in terms of performance though? The dimensions are basically identical to a short course truck or a 1/8-scale buggy. Seems like a hybrid, a 1/8-scale buggy with SC tires. And man, you are right, that suspension looks plush! By the way, little oops, you didn't put up the motor size during your video edit, but being 550-class, I think you were right about the 3660 can.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Check at 12:51 top left hand corner. 😉 Thanks heaps for the feedback. I think cars like this a re perfect in today's market that can get saturated with the same type of card. Having this in my fleet offers a point of difference and after driving it, I can tell you that it also offers a level of performance not seen in a lot of the other RCs I own. It gives me a new appreciation for a well balanced and we'll tuned RC.

[@TheTechBuyersGuru]

@@AussieRCPlayground Seriously, this is the next car on my wish list (if I can justify getting another one, that is, which is why I asked the question!!!). Looking forward to your running video! And, so sorry, I missed the motor size. It actually pops up before you mention it, so once I looked up, it had blended into the white background. But yes, it's there!

[@theirishaxe9405]

Hey bro! Please do a video on the newer team magic e6 v-gen! Im building one from bare chassis hard to get the newer upgrade parts here in usa but for you probly easy! Nice new front and rear diff parts new aluminum pivot ball retainers instead of plastic! Also a new aluminum chassis brace. Also new threaded aluminum shocks!

[@Molekulasti]

What is that sexy black machine to the right from you on the upper shelf? I need it in my life.

[@lacucaracha111111]

Damage to the ESC and motor due to a pinion would be really disappointing. as the only thing that would happen is the system drawing more power and creating more heat. That would mean 1 of 2 things 1. Cheap components not being able to handle the extra current 2. No thermal protection

[@paulclancy2404]

I was thinking kinda same but has that smart technology maybe thats sensitive to heat, but also i think id be ok running 3s wo changing pinion gear long as dont get it hot and its freezing here on east coast so for lil while be ok, also look size and amp spec is high for what it is someone will test it for us haha

[@lacucaracha111111]

@@paulclancy2404 Then it should thermally shutoff like the VXL3s system when it gets too hot. Or most other ESCs for that matter. You likely only get smart features with the smart bateries they sell, as they have a data line inbetween the power plugs

[@XzzXINSANEXzzX]

Very exoterra esk

[@EXTREMERC416]

Sad that you cant make this car go any faster if you want. It was made to only go maximum of 50mph on 3s i alright for its size but limits you from doing speed runs if you want. 130apm esc should be fine on 3s the 4s arrmas run 120 amp esc or maybe im missing something in the electronics. Best to keep it stock and understand that you cant do much with the stock electronics. But for me if i get it i will be pretty happy

[@spinrushrc]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/opabgKSZgLumnas. My experience was NOT good at all.

[@fc3sboy1]

And the aluminum used is 6061 which is the softer aluminum that tends to bend. The TLR stuff uses 7075 aluminum which is far more ridged stronger and lighter. Also you can tell the difference between the 6061 vers 7075 as the 7075 is machined vers the stamped 6061 as the 6061 does not machine well and tends to buggar up the tooling. Anything in the rc world that is 6061 isn't worth the money in my book. It's a fraction of the cost of 7075 once all the machine process is taken into account and well just the materials in general which is why 6061is used in crappy RTR vehicles and the 7075 is used in actual kits. Piss on rtr And shame on all the manufacturing companies out there that keep pumping out more and more RTR garbage and less and less actual kits.
