Default A new oval release from Losi

http://www.losi.com/

Losi is set to release an oval specific vehicle on 3/13/08. But that's all they are showing for now.

I'll put out a guess of 1/10 sedan latemodel RTR.

Throw out your guess' or opinions because I have no idea.

I think you both might be right a 1/10th slider that can be fitted for both sprint car and dirt late model racing. But a sedan that is a latemodel is a cool idea I have 5 myself check out www.nhrccarracing.com for pics. go to R/C car div. pics or to my pics. I have 2 4-tec's one Associated TC-3 and 2 TT-O1 from Tamiya done up with asphalt ASA late model bodies from McAllister racing bodies on them.

I know exactly what it is and I can tell you that it is NOT 1/10 scale.

How do I know??

I've driven it! And it is really cool!!

hopefully it's something cool, like an 8ight with a latemodel body, but i doubt it.

it's probably a micro.

I'm going to take a 100% guess and say it's a nitro Slider

Dirt oval track and ease of maintenance never go hand in hand.Unless it's just dirt laid in an oval shape.

Really? I seriously thought without having to worry about jumps and facing issues as well as changes in elevation - it would be easier then an offroad track

If you want a consistently smooth track,then it will take a lot to maintain it.If your not so picky then you can get away with a lot.Make a short track,so it will be easier for you to get right.

If this is true it gives me hope for a 1/8 LM. Slight hope. I just hope it's not a mini LM or a micro something. Just because they havent' caught on around here yet. C'mon 1/8 LM. LOL.
