Theyll race right into a wall when their steering rack locks up .

lol, funny. Tiny pebbles.....

the front end just looks odd too. The angles on the steering rods are weird. It's a good 1/2 " swept forward too. Guess there trying to improve there low speed steering over older cars?

I'm sure Losi put some serious R&D into this kit. They don't want another "Strike" mishap. I think its very innovative basically two kits in one, almost endless tuning options. I say good job Losi for going outside the "box". I am wondering which config will get ran the most?

I thought it was already proven that a 3 gear tranny does not work well in a mid motor car? Not complaining becuase it looks like Losi smashed this one out of the park and everybody will be playing catch up on this one for sure. I see lots of AE's, Kyoshos, TQ's and whatever else is out there for sale very soon lol

There was talk about this at the track today... I guess Horizon is saying shops need to put their orders in now to get the first available cars in Feb.

It's cool to see Losi really getting to have a real racing division again, my understanding is that TLR will almost be a separate entity of the brand. The car looks interesting, I want to see one in person to make a real judgement on the car.

Kudos to Losi for making this first - well done!
It looks like a cool product and welcome back to Losi to the 10th buggy scene.

We are still testing - http://www.team-durango.com/blog/?p=345&pid=54

I only wish 1/10th Scale electric would be bigger in my area. I would love to race 2WD or 4WD buggy. And holy crap, metric hardware! About Damn Time!

On some pics you can see that they offer 2 trannies, the mid one being a 4-gear.

I just noticed the 4 gear tranny case accepts 4 gears. Smash hit out of the park
