It's no different then running a 2wd sc. My reciever is totally exposed to the elements on my 2wd and I've never had any issues.

Kind of concerned me too. I run on rutted out big tracks with a little mud when it gets watered down. Thats what keeping me from getting the 2.0

Everything you bought already comes with the truck except the Tekno gear and KH mount. So put it all in and run it until you make a decision, because it isn't doing any good for you just sitting around!

If you decide to buy new, you can just swap out your KH mount/Tekno stuff.

Get one of them fancy transponder mounts and install the receiver underneath it. That way all the holes point downward and the dirt stays out.

Or, put silly or plumbers putty in the extra port (bind, aux, or whatever) to seal it.

Companies also have small receiver boxes (I think AE has a decent on for the Nitro T4 stadium truck) you could mount on the chassis behind the servo/ahead of the motor. Put your ESC and xponder in there..

My buddy put the radio box from the 1.0 on my old MIP chassis. On the 2.0 it looks like there is space direct ly behind the servo. No problem.

This is kind of a random question but I was wondering, is the 2.0 quieter than the 1.0? Not that it really matters but the 1.0 is so damn loud.

1. Yes new o-ring goes over the outside threads. works awesome.

2. Wires hold up fine. (look at MIP) I would good 12 gauge. which is what I was already using.

3. Most of the longer sensor wires offered will work. I think 200mm or longer. I will try and double check.

4. Due to the mold changes and really minimal benefit (wires are still pretty long but I agree shorter) I am not sure this would have been worth the extra tooling costs but have not looked into the logistics of this change in detail. Not sure if the servo takes up more space then an ESC? Again have not looked into this more. Maybe Ryan did?

All my 2wd recievers are exposed. You can mount it to the chassis behind the servo if you choose. Plenty of room and side guards will protect it some. Ryan has been running his receiver in this location exposed for about a year not with no issues.

My 2.0 was super quite all fresh but an all metal drive train (yes spur is plastic) will get noisey over time. Since the drive train really did not change much (front center drive shaft is not at quite as steep an angle but parts are all the same) it will develop noise over time. Keep the gears lubed up and it should help.

KHZ dual bearings front and motor mount made the v1 quieter. As the Khz has an extra support point, wonder if the motormount will fit the v2 with the clearance being smaller.

Yeah thats one of the few things I don't like about the 2.0

I am asking myself the same questions but I would think they fit because the original plastic parts didn't change, just the top plate off the middle diff with the cable holder.

The rear torque rod might be in the way.

I'd say switching to the MIP spur gear quieted my truck down the most out of anything I've done.

Our LHS is not an "authorised Losi dealer" as Horizon i believe calls it I try and support him 100% and he tried to get a 22sct but wasnt allowed to order it.

When this truck hit this week I called Horizon and they explained that he would be able to order it about 2 weeks after the launch..... Welll the 1.0 was sold out by then and I cant take the chance of that happening soooo Im going to have to order two from elsewhere. This is a horrible thing to do to the LHS we try to support them and we CANT without the possibility of delays...

Change your policies Horizon let the little guys eat.

Very, very nice to see a complete racers style kit! I love my DESC410! But in the market for something that can rub paint with some of these heavier SC's without getting tossed off the track or forced to get out of my line and lose a position.
I really like the Tekno kit but I find it truly refreshing to see a kit with all the option parts. Finally!!
A full spring tuning kit would be the cherry on top! I'm still not sold on the driveline angle or the intentional bind for optimal steering and traction post. That sounds a little like "snake oil" especially to anyone with an engineering background. Maybe poor choice of words or a better explanation is in order.
I'm also curious if a D-joint option like Durango optioned for the DEX410 has been tested or considered for that front DS.
Other than that, nice job! I'm in a holding pattern with my next purchase. Tekno went with a more economical kit with good intentions to help grow the sport and understandably their business as well. I personally just want a fully boogie race kit. My SCTE 1.0 was purchased about a week before the MIP kit was released. I think I dropped $1500 that day at HotRods with the SCTE, TLR, MIP, Tekin combo etc.

Also any testing done with a smaller 3S or 4S combo?
Was considering a 4000mah 3S with a 3300kv or possibly a 2500mah 4S and 1900ish kv. This would be for club racing with flexible rules and/or just a 2nd practice only kit. These super high mah 2S batteries are doing more harm than good IMO.

See Casper Im not the only one having the reciever issue and where are the transponders going to be placed.
