That engine is the heat.
As far as truggies are concerned, I would not trade my Losi 8T 1.0 for anything other then a 2.0. This truck is so tough it consistantly blows my mind. Two of my good friends run a Mugen mbx5t and a Kyosho truggy...both very tough trucks. The losi is as tough if not tougher. Plus it hauls balls around the track.
