What do you guys think?

Looks good, IMO. I wonder why they took it off, maybe a huge design flaw that had been overseen perhaps?

that looks really cool, is that a motor in the middle a single outrunner or at closer glance it looks like 2 inrunners side by side. Either way I want it

It does sound very good. I'm disappointed with the quality of losi stuff though. I want a crawler but I'm not to sure I would be jumping at a losi one too quickly.

The front and rear dig is cool...

Take a look a the new Venom Creeper coming out. It has some really nice features.

Remote Lockable Diffs and more.

They probably found melamine in it.

Me likey.. I wonder if venom stole traxxas' idea for remote lockable diffs or vice versa.

don't know about the losi, the venom creeper looks cool, so does venoms 1/8 bike

RCCA was supposed to get the first release on friday, but losi kinda screwed that up.

Looks like a sensored inrunner in there to me.

I'm sure you would know better than I, but my thoughts were the same. That pic is just so damn small, it's hard to discern a sensor harness.

johnrobholmes · 12.04.2008, 01:26 AM

Well, I can tell it isn't a brushed motor, and I know that losi wouldn't half ass it and put an outrunner in a fancy can. Can't compete with sensorless really. Didn't sound sensorless in the vid either.

Good thing I am working on a sensored motor that would be lighter and most likely have more power too :D 1000kv inrunners that we normally have too much resistance to make power on 2 or 3 cell lipo.

johnrobholmes · 12.04.2008, 01:29 AM

Yeah, almost willing to bet it is a 21.5 xceleron

I like the truck. Super low CG. I would want 4ws though. And who need remote lockable diffs? Waste of money in a crawler. You want the diffs locked all the time when crawling.

MetalMan · 12.04.2008, 02:07 AM

4ws isn't allowed for competition, though, which I'm sure is Losi's target crowd.
