Yes, the front suspension is a dead ringer for the losi, but that's where the similarities end. I bet if there wasn't a difference between the metric and standard size of the losi, they could be interchangeable. I used to run a losi, and honestly I couldn't make it work for me, so for a year and a half i was in RC limbo trying to find a car that suited me. I found the 808 and haven't felt the need to drive any other car. Even cars like the durango look enticing, but I doubt it'll give me any advantage over the 808. Last thing, and then I'm done, your not paying for a name when you buy xray. and last time I checked a losi was just as much as an xray. parts prices are a bit more, but you won't go through near as many with an Xray.

the slop shits me i run 4deg camber all round and it still looks like this when loaded up in a corner (im the green car)
i carnt stand it my xray buggy handles just fine with no slop i no the mugen truggy dont have anywhere near the slop the losi does, i say its there excuse to say it handles better like that, bullshit its just poor plastic compounds most of the slop is in the camber plastics and balls im going to shima as much as poss and replace camber plastics or balls if i can

I have to say that Losi cars dont seem to get as upset as other cars even without any setup . People who suck with other cars seem to instantly get better with the losi. I used to think it was the extra length , but maybe its the extreme slop adding an extra degree of " suspension" lol .

Losi cars get a bit sloppier than others. But anyone that actually races their losi's and doesn't just sit there looking at it's "slop", will tell you it has no negative impact on the handling. In fact quite the opposite! Just like thenova70ss said, they handle MUCH better after a couple of gallons through them.

That's what I call paying for a label.
