Losi bringing something to U4?

Losi teases new off-road vehicle » Red RC – RC Car News

Or just another body for their 5th scale?

 

[hpiguy]

Looks to be independent suspension F&R, more or less an SC truck with a cool body and wing.

 

[microcrawlers]

reminds me of the exo

 

[fr8cture]

Yeah looks almost exactly like the exo.

 

[ROWDY RACING]

Guarantee it will be tougher than an exo..

 

[svt923]

If this is based on the SCTE platform like the article suggests, it should be better than the Exo in every meaningful way (except for that whole SAE hardware thing).

 

[WHITE-TRASH]

Cool but since when is losi a basher brand?

they switched to metric. but it will be better than the exo. only if you don't have to remove more screws than you can count on your hands to get to the trans and electronics........!!!!!!

and price might be around 450-500 rtr
guarantee they wont make a kit.

 

[svt923]

they switched to metric.

Check the required tools in SCTE 2.0 manual and report back.

 

[Robbob]

Look at the front of the body though ....... AVC stickers ......

AVC: Spektrum - The Leader in Spread Spectrum Technology

Sounds like a renamed gyro for racing. When those become legal for ROAR?

 

[fr8cture]

They aren't

Guarantee it will be tougher than an exo..

So you will not have to spend $1000 on VP parts, plus all new gears, lockers, shocks, arms, transmission gears, etc.

Ever since Gill Senior and Junior sold out to horizon hobbies.

I knew they sold out but the local racers still run losi buggies and short course trucks so it strikes me as odd to hear that.

 

[EeePee]

Team Losi Racing is same but not basher. I think.

 

[mikl]

Yes, TLR is the Horizon race brand and Losi is the basher/mid range/RTR brand. There is some overlap like the SCTE. One can buy a Losi RTR SCTE and a TLR SCTE 2.0. But the Losi will be the original SCTE and the TLR is the second gen and a kit.

 

[binaryterror]

they switched to metric.

Only Team Losi Racing products switched to Metric. The Losi stuff is a mixed bag all over of SAE and Metric.

 

[ROWDY RACING]

Losi: TEN-SCBE RTR, AVC: 1/10 4WD SCB (ORG): Losi (LOS03007T2)

That alone is enough to make me never want to own one. Just pick one already.

 

[ROWDY RACING]

I will get the cage and wing to put on one of my scte's for sure.
