The main thing I would be concerned about is its durability in an offroad environment. The VXL's will take a serious beating without any issues...not so sure about this new Losi.
If it is built anything like my xx-cr buggy it is not as strong as a rustler. The new EA3 plastic that losi uses in much stiffer than the traxxas plastic, and it does not take hits as well. Those front lower arms sure look weak to me!
