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!

That makes sense, easy for newb's and from what i could see, the Losi's don't like brushless too much. A few friends have them and even with 4300 and 5800 Novaks they needed a rebuild every two races. My T4 has been rebuilt oncesince built (8 months ago)
Work because i gotta, play because i wanna
People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

Actually, that would be XXX-T, not T4. And yeah, pretty much a RTR XXX-T version with street treads, Spektrum and a BL system.

From the Home page, I almost thought it was a Jato knock off. LOL

Yea... glad you know what I meant.
So really nothing other than a hopped up version of the RTR novak brushless version they offered a while back.

I was right. I feel so proud. Sad that it was just this though. I was thinking it would be some RTR with the 1/10th scale brushless setup as none of the rtrs had losi brushless setup yet. Most people stick brushless in a car and sit there doing speed runs up and down the street anyway so why not build a car that is made for exactly that. I don't know how this is going to take the curb collisions though that go with street speed runs.
