Losi 1/10th Roller

Rich Trujillo said:
Also you are right about the chassis plates. The are attached from the bottom. Then there are the 4 screws for the transmission and 4 for the small pivot (which can be removed without taking the transmission out of the chassis.

Amazing, I was actually right in my thinking....doesn't happen very often.
 
I got into crawling with an MRC, looks like I might have to polish up my driving on the bigger scale and retire the MRC to the indoors for Colorado days like today! Great job Losi!
 
awesome stuff

we backordered a few of the largest dealer packages...i suspect that we'll need to stock tons of the axles and transmissions...aftermarket people...heads up...start making your center skids compatible with the losi crawler.

you guys just leapfrogged kyosho and venom...not to mention axial...and you reset the value bar for what you get in a comp-ready roller...MAP will be very legit and not much you have to do to get comp ready...not scale it down and offer it as a pro 1/18th...genius...
 
well heck. I am gonna have to build a new rig with this now.:lol: I like what I am seeing, and can't wait to get my hands on one. Heck if I like it enough The axial will be turned into a scaler."thumbsup"
 
Been saving my pennies for an Axial ARTR.... not anymore... Saving pennies for this bad boy...

Wonder how durable it will be "out of the box"...

Also curious - if you only have a 2 position 3rd channel, can you just use rear DIG?
 
So either Im lazy and missed it or it hasnt been posted yet, but what is the total gear reduction on this? Its the one thing I am still wondering about...
 
After watching the short vid on the Losi site, I noticed it had the same high pitch whine noise that my mrc had before switching to a tekkin fxr. Is the whining a function of the esc or the brushless motor esc combo?
 
i would like to see a comparo between the comp crawler and the rockforce. that would be very interesting. the losi seems light and nimble from pics and the rockforce looks like a tank. good job on the parts used for the losi though cept metric would have made it that more tweak friendly.
i got into crawling with the MRC and have loads of fun swapping parts on it, specially the DNA chassis. when i got the news about the compcrawler i just dropped my jaws, im like, this would be my tuber. now someone get their hands on it and start tweaking. way to go Rich "thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup"

you can tell who just got into rc because of the crawlers by the sae vs met. issue. I would think that anyone who has been in the hobby and had more than one car would have no problem. One thing that is getting a little over done is not kits just race rollers, or am I the only one here that enjoys putting the things together?
 
I have been into RC for 13 years, I just got rid of my SAE stuff because I was tired of it :lol: I guess I still have my first rc10, but I don't drive it enough to ever need work done.

You can not tell who just got into rc by the sae vs metric issue. That's absurd. YOU might think that, but it doesn't make it true. What if someone has "been in the hobby" and had dozens of cars and they were all metric? Someone having more than one car (especially crawlers) makes them less likely to want a standard hardware car since they probably already have the metric tools, spare screws, taps & dies, etc. Who wants to carry around double? Who wants to buy essentially the same stuff that's just a little different in size? If you were to say, "...and had more than one car, at least one of which is/was a 1/10 scale - more specifically an associated or losi, would have no problem," it might be a little easier to understand your viewpoint. My main point is why make it any harder than it has to be for your target audience to adopt your product? Plus, it's been my experience that standard hardware isn't as consistent as the metric stuff. Doesn't fit the driver as well, and doesn't fit as snugly into the threaded piece.

Rich has already addressed this and I commend him for standing up and taking ownership of his decision. Doesn't mean I agree with it ;) But I respect his honesty. Normally there's a lot of hemming, hawing, and fingerpointing. It's refreshing to see someone with a fairly empty bag of excuses.


I can understand the manufacturers wanting to make rollers. First, it allows the uninitiated an easier path to rc madness - much less intimidating. It probably cuts down on warranty issues and phone support costs too. The first car I get of a certain model, I prefer to build so that I can get a feel for the whole thing. After that, give me the roller. I want to drive, not wrench (with my metric tools :D ).


Sorry for the sidetrack, back to the Losi Roller
