The amount of hop ups that losi keeps releasing for this car is making me want one more and more.

They should just release the TLR version of it instead of making us pay for the losi brushless system....

Default Motor/ ESC Combo

Never been a fan of losi electronics. I'm gonna try castle creations Cm26 4600kv with their ESC.

So I figured out the servo is a losi MSX12 which is an odd size. Anyone had any experience changing these out?

Also what's up with Losi keep a wrap on specifics? ieinion pitch ... I havent been able to find this anywhere. Hopefully 48p

I have helped test this little wonder and the thing is awesome out of the box. The electronics are great. The feel of the esc and the power of the motor, wow. If you are thinking you need something else right away, I can tell you, thats not the case. We took one to OCRC and it rips...everyone there wanted one...so much fun. Anyways, just my .02

i am looking at a reliability thing. Castle does me good in the electronics package. I have no doubt the radio is decent but I have a dx3r.

The one time i decided to use a losi setup was in my Losi 22 and it turned into a ball of fire using it 2 min on 2S and Losi said it was prob over loaded. I used their recommended losi 60C 2C battery.

Second I really dislike the diameter of the shaft on the motor.

If you helped test it do you have some insight on the pitch of the pinion?

i love it.
you could spend $168 bucks in upgrades on a car that costs 250 to begin with and end up with a sweet little classless racecar....
may end up more popular with the basher crowd.

cool car and id love to run one, more so if it came with no electrics and
all the upgrades....

wonder if my mongoose 380 stuff would fit in it..
