Losi 1/10th Roller

Dig Effects

I've been very excited about front and rear dig in the losi. Something has just been itching at the back of my mind for some time now and it became clear tonight; disconnecting the rear axle makes sense free wheel/locked cuz you are stearing and power from the front axle. But what are you going to be doing by basically locking the front axle? What does this do exactly that I am missing?

Just like on the bergs it allows you to push the rear end around. It can also be used to settle the truck.

there won't be any free wheel with the worm gears.

The rear dig let's you pivot the rear around a bit, plus you can do some sweet burnouts"thumbsup"
 
of course the 18.5 will work. It'll just be a little slower... Now that being said, worm gears are slow. How slow are we going to be going?
Wouldn't it be a lot slower since the Goat ESC only handles 2S batterys?

In the pictures and specs, Losi is showing a 3S lipo with a 17.5 motor. That roughly equals 24420 RPM based on a standard 17.5 KV rating of 2200kv. The Novak on 2S would be roughly 19980 rpm on the 2700kv rating of the 18.5...

Of course, I still haven't heard if Losi's decided on a final drive yet anyway... Any word Rich?
 
Ok guys I didn't want to read all 25 pages of this post, but I really want this crawler and I was wondering where the best place to preorder this rig is???

Thanks in advance!

I pre-ordered from CKRC with a discount. got the roller for 259 rather bthan 285! Not too much saved but anything helps!
 
I was going to ask the same thing....

Is this becasue you are a forum member and you just needed to mention that???

I Pre-ordered mine on Christmas day and got the discount. But went and looked on there site today and the coupon thing isn't there any more???
Must have been a limited time thing... Probably wouldn't hurt to shoot them an e-mail and ask if they will offer you the same price... Or it might be in there interest and RCC for them to offer that price for star holding members or sumthin??
Good luck,

Thanks for the reply. I will try and give them a call.
 
Super Stoked!

I just got the word from the boss (wife) that I can get one of these when they come out. Saaaaaaahweeeeeeeeeet. I purchased the auto winch last night, now I just have to wait for the truck to come out. YESSSSSSSS...*fist pump with squinty eyes*:D
 
My LHS said they are not taking pre-orders beacuse they dont know what price they will get them for. I would like to purchase my electronics for this truck but am not sure what to get.

What are the rest of you going to run?

ESC =
Servo =
Radio Gear =

I have my stock steering servo from my MRC and hope to use that for dig.
