If you need something that is different than what is being done this days and not a Tekno or HB car, that Inspire car may be right up your alley, just expect to pay some $$$.

Actually they did, just right now with how all the cars all look basically alike, some to the point that the a-arms only appear to differ by how they mount the swaybar, better material, and hingepin hole size, its pretty much that the horse has been beaten dead.

All in all I think its a good thing that these cars have these similar looks as you can see if Company A's take on the general design is an improvement over Company's B, etc.

So for you, basically is a tekno at $329.99 once you upgrade it to similar specs a what you get out of the box with the losi a better buy. that is the best way for a fair comparison.

Heck, I love that they include wheels, I just hate they are yellow lol. Now we need to discuss that for 2 months

Besides, I think a lot of people will agree that it is very competitively priced, considering the buggies it’s up against. AND, it includes wheels! What more could you ask for?

It's only a good value if you're interested in those different parts. Personally I am not. To me too much aluminum parts just means you're going to break different plastic parts and plus aluminum bends and doesn't return back to shape. So a good value is totally relative from one person to the next. Oh and by the way yellow wheels are faster. LOL😎

A current TC or Wheeler from a Top Tier company

would have proven itself long before any release.

Most likely they are a direct fit. According to Frank Root (thank you again!) 22-4 wheels fit with the optional 5.0 hex.

He also switched up from JCon to P-L... I wasn’t expecting that. In either case, I’m looking forward to getting good advice as I start out (after an almost 20 year hiatus) with my ELITE in 2020... He was really thorough with his B6.1 and B64/74 setup videos, so I’m sure I will find it helpful when he does the same with the TLR vehicles. I also hope he makes time to keep going to the SuperCup races here in Florida.
