New Losi on the Horizon

[crazyjr]

With luck, if its the LIL'mug, it will be 1/12 like the CRT.5. Be good competition and naturally tough

[squeeforever]

I think its safe to say its eletric. I just hope its not a XXXX or something like that...The B4's been out quite a while, and all they've done to the XXX is revamp it.

Maybe a monster truck to combat the E-Maxx? That would make me cancel my E-Maxx 16.8 backorder and buy Losi.

Why? Losi has as much experience in the electric monster truck market as kotex. Come to think of it, Losi has never sold a 4wd 10th scale mt, have they?

[notnodak]

Why? Because it's the future of the hobby to have Brushless and Monster trucks are the best selling vehicle in all the hobby. They would make a ton of money if they had theres up for sale 1st and it would more than likely be stronger then Traxxas.

Lil Mug, isn't that cute, lol

[MTBikerTim]

But everyine knows about the lil muggy it won't be that surely. I'm hoping it will be a brushless 1/10th scale or bigger but I hate that losi trucks use sae screws. Losi has a brushless system out now. Is that in any of their RTRs yet?

[rootar]

you may be on to something Tim it might be all the xxx models brushless versions using losi's stuff and ditching novaks....??? And maybe they'll throw the lilmuggy out there too

that was my first thought, but i looked over thier stuff and noticed they already had a brushless truck, i didn't think it was worth the big unvielling. you know what would be sick is if they through two of thier new brushless systems on a dodge raminator that was released before traxxas does the twin vlx emaxx. that would really stick it to them

[squeeforever]

I don't think its gonna be something small like throwing a brushless setup in a current vehicle or just revamping one, since they do that all the time anyway, which is stupid in my opinion. I don't think just because they release a LST with a Dodge body and red rims it will boost there sales incredibly. I think its something big. Like a new vehicle all together. Perhaps something to combat the B4, B44, New E-Maxx (doubt it), Revo, etc.

I still think it's a Brushless monster truck.

Look at what I found on Horizon Hobbies site

What of it? Thats nothing new...I don't see how that pertains to anything.

[FG101C]

I guess I'll take a stab at it, how about a brushless 8ight Pro buggy.

[notnodak]

I'm just speculating but with Losi being in-bed with Horizon this may be conected. I've not seen the motors above till now.
Thanks for keeping an open mind and being so welcoming.

Its not a lil muggy. This was posted on another forum from Jason at rcdriver.

Guys...

The Lil' Mug is a truck built by a co-worker of mine, David Baker. He's the Staff Illustrator and one of the Editors at RC Driver magazine.

The Lil' Mug was a project he built with a Sportwerks Chaos and a Mini-LST.

That's a Parma body, painted by Dan Wyatt (think "Wyatt Bronco") with Lil' Mug decals that he cut on a Roland Stika. The window nets were cut from scraps of red vinyl and that "1/2" you see was an idea I thought would be funny since the larger one had a "1" on it.

But it's funny how much talk that thing has generated on the various forums...people like it.
