Default Rumors Rumors Rumors Losi 1/8 th buggy

I have heard alot of rumors on other posts of possiblity of losi putting out a 1/8th scale buggy, well after checking their site recently I guess its true.
Although they havent put any pictures yet, which tells me that there must be going to be some big changes. I hope its not just sportswerks with a losi brand. With me being a die hard losi fan it has peeked my interest, but I would still wait until they put out a kit first, I ve done the rtr way before.
Hopefully if others on this site find some early pics of the prototype it would be nice to post them on here.

I'm glad to see that other manufacture's are interested in 1/8th. Hopefully the prices will come down when we get more players in the market. I don't think that any of the new cars that are rumored to arrive will have any revolutionary changes or feartures. But we;ll just have to wait and see...

Although I doubt that we'll see a Losi 1/8 in time to race this year. So don't kick that kitten car out of the house just yet.

I just wished that they wouldn't put the little teaser on the website with no photos.

The Losi 1/8 buggy is supposed to be ready for purchase by late summer, but we'll have to wait and see. Losi guys should be running proto in a month or so

I am going to RCX in May(I think it's in May?), I will keep my eyes open and give a full report! If Losi makes one, it will be nice!

Can you say BANDWAGON?

Check out what I just stumbled across that Adam Drake was running at in door race a month ago or so





(At the 11th Annual Indoor Gas Champs hosted by CRCRC in Columbus, OH, it was Adam Drake who took the win in the highly competitive Unlimited Monster Truck "Truggy" class with his Prototype Team Losi LST "Muggy". This was the first time out with a test truck that is an engineering exercise to test the potential of a Muggy)

Here's a short video of it doing some warm up laps at CRCRC before the A Main
