Also how could it be coming out this month or next? It was that well hidden from the public. Wouldnt we all have seen spy shots of it in the mags and on rc web sites. I think the guy was talking about the 1/8th scale

Yes there was, at the 05 worlds, if you go to the first page there are pictures of it. What i was saying in a previous post is that some of the team might be trying that car again at the worlds this year, but its not the new buggy that R&D has been developing.

yes but it will also have the same price as a ferrari! dont think i want to have to get a loan to buy a new toy car. but it is by far the coolest looking buggy to date and the best quality it looks like. but im not sure about the battery set-up dont think it can handle more than a 3200 lipo?

anyways losi have always been reasonably priced and losi parts are found almost anywhere.

Yeah it will be a bit expensive. I've been told by the Japanese distributer that it will be about $700 USD. The speed passion 4200 Lipo's fit in the car.

I really like the looks of the Durango, but I'm not crazy about sadle packs. I'm just going to stick with my XXX-4 until I find something that I like better.

Default Just a though....

I would like to jump in here... I am just curious... If you're a fan of 4wd electric. Why wouldn't you just get an 1/8 brushless? It's going to be a huge class in the next couple years. The sooner people that get them the quicker it would happen. The initial cost is up there but the rewards are greater than I've ever seen in 1/10 4wd or any any other class for that matter.

As far as the cost goes... Companies like SMC are making batteries that are very superior to others and very competitive in pricing. The brushless systems are also very cost effective. If anyone has experience with 1/8 buggy they would realize the chassis is cost effective as well (considering you aren't running nitro so no fuel, plugs, clutch parts.. etc).

The only thing I can think of is that I know a couple guys at our local track have said they like the 1/10 electric because not very many people race them. They only like to race a couple people at a time. Either that or the fact 1/8 brushless is a new class. Even saying that I would feel there will be more 1/8 brushless buggies this year at most tracks than 1/10 4wheelers. I can't imagine next year and the year after.

I guess I just see 1/8 brushless as having so many positives that I don't know why someone that is a fan of 4wd electric wouldn't want to race the class. They are durable, there is plenty of competition in 1/8 buggy, you can race many more types of tracks, you can run indoor offroad, with brushless/lipo there is hardly any maintenance, and you can program the car to do your bidding with software.

just my .02 on this... The new Losi 8ight-E 2.0 is a really well thought out car. If they make a new 1/10 4wd they should just miniaturize the 1/8 buggy and be done with it.
