Losi -> new car

[shaunjohnson]

losi makes a TENT!!!
take it camping with you.

as for the remote start, cool...but how many traxxas ez starts have you seen endlessly cranking over untill it's battery goes flat cause some noob cant tune it or something!!
if it stalled, it stalled for a reason and a remote start isnt gonna fix that!!
if it wont start...you STILL have to be down on the ground beside the car to figure out what is wrong!!!
SOOOOO STUPID!!!

[brushlessboy16]

they are trying too hard to keep up with traxxas

edit- Looks like a lot of 8ight parts...


If they sold an electric or roller version it would be a nice platform

i do like the 10th scale zombie max's tho...

they dont need to try, this thing will eat a slash 4x4 for lunch, it should be brushless tho

On a 2nd look:
Plus's:
4WD
3 diff
BB shocks
Cool tires
4mm buckles
Nice radio

Finally a 1/10 scale stadium truck that isn't built like a anorexic ballerina that isn't a porkpie rustler.

Cons:
Imperial hardware
"ROSS" -flipping ghey
ST's are not very popular. If this was a SC truck it may have bigger impact.

Nice timing w/ the 4WD Slash, but it would be better as a SC.

May end up just seeing a 1/10 4x4 class instead of a anything specific to keep more people interested in racing and at the track.

PS how hard will it be to swap tires extend the body mounts and put a SC body on it?

actually, it is a 2 speed. that was a big letdown for me. i might have actually considered getting one if it had a center diff.

its a center diff not a 2 speed, they couldnt call it a truggy if it had a trans

price is $599.99. As for the Losi platform everyone knows you buy a losi for 2 reasons to win races and to be light weight doing so. There cars are top notch. not a huge fan of there 1/10 stuff. but this actually looks like it could be something to have fun with minus the nitro and electric start. Geez whats next someone comes with it to drive it for you.

2-Shoe Clutch and 2-Speed Transmission

The TEN-T's 2-shoe clutch is based on Losi's race-oriented clutch design for incredible durability and acceleration. Whether you're racing on a track or tearing up the backyard, the clutch design will give you the power you need.

You are right.. tranny? WTF. I would imagine a CD would be an easy swap tho the way its setup. You only need a 2spd due to a weak nitro engine.

Rip out the crappy starter motor and put in a real BL motor and give the thing some balls.

$600 is crazy tho. Nice radio, but $600 is still $600 for an rtr 1/10 scale.

Edit: Says $499 on their website... they should do a kit or roller later on.

[shaunjohnson]

does anyone know how much zombie max tyres SUCK!!???
they balloon like a bich and have no grip on ANYTHING!!

i dont see where you guys see the 2 speed thing? i looked over and over and didnt see it, how could they call it a truggy if it has a tranny? that is one of the main specs of a truggy=center diff

[shaunjohnson]

lololololololololololo tent tent tent lololololololololololool

Sorry about the new thread in mini truggy Thought thats where discussion would be but didn't think to search

I like it... pity its a stinkin' nitro though Hope the E version's in the works.

The parts explosion is up on losi's site...

Hi Res pic here...

Offset centre diff so hopefully heaps of room for batts. Should be enough clearance on the right to mount a motor and keep the mudguards?

The body might also be a good fit for a CRT.5 + RCM chassis conversion?

The arms will probably make it to wide for a SC body, the tires will stuck out ?

[Topspeedtimmy]

In order to get proper CORR truck proportions, you would need to lengthen the chassis to increase the wheel base and/or shorten the arms to decrease wheel track. Too much work. The 4x4 slash looks pretty solid, except the shocks and powerplant.

The zombie max tires and ROSS start seems like a very bad choice for this platform. It's supposed to be an agile truggy! Not anymore. They would have been better suited to some very cheap, band-handling basher truck. If they're going for the beginner with this "easy" starting system, they're price point isn't going to help them out that much.
