FWIW, I broke in my new P5X using the Losi box with 2 stick packs... worked perfect.

I would go with some good stick packs..i have 2- 3500 packs and the power is right on point. I just broke in 2 rb c6's over the weekend 8b and my 8t..thye both started up on the 1st bump I have owned the ofna box(good box) 1 still have 2 mugen boxes, but at this time the losi box is working with no problems

I agree this box is very under powered.... My single motor 10245 ofna box has WAY more power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed the 12v harness won't work in mine. But a little time with the solder iron and that should be resolved. My problem was that the battery i had the terminals were pointed towards the back of the box and I needed several more inches to make the curve around the motors and turn 180deg. to plug in. I put my Venom 3000 packs in and I'm happy with it. Starts the engines very well. I do have rub marks on the chassis from the starter wheel. But it is very minimal. I think the first part to break is going to be the front swivel. I'm gonna see about making an aluminum one for in the future.

yah really under powered... can't get it to turn my .21 over long enough to get it started. tried loosening glow plug, still nothing. motors get really hot after 10 minutes of trying! haha
i'm gonna look for a couple of 775 motors to upgrade or just get the ofna box and sell this one.
