Losi was in the winning circle b4 they employed Drake to drive the buggy.. he was still driving for jammin (1/8 scale)... i think it was peanut who practically dominated with it from the get go....

yes i can.. regardless of what level.... one guy was not even a threat this year and all his engineers did was developed a car that was practically unbeatable and all of a sudden he was the guy to beat...... as the season went along it became evident as his victories started to taper off in winning... this was due to other teams developing their cars using similar technology

any one of the pros can do that... Thats why i'm saying on the same level....
its funny you should say that because
he just got his behind handed to him by an MBX6 and a MP9... and rem that third place at the worlds was a MBX6...
while i agree with you on some points... i dont on others.. for example to prove your point... i can agree with you for teh worlds ...Hara won by pit strategy and conservative driving... not the car... with a whole lot of luck on that one...
