Losi Lasernut U4 Update
Been hammering away with this on our desert track, and I've made a bunch of mods. While I'm adding details to my website, a few general comments:
1. This buggy dives exceeding well on chunky, loose terrain. It's a very good layout.
2. The parts quality leave much to be desired. If they made a roller kit and used high-quality parts, this would really be a winner for its intended use.
3. While it has the footprint of a 1/8 buggy, it's build from 1/10 parts, and high speed bashing is going to kill this machine. I know there are a bunch of videos of this thing bashing, but I can bend the shock towers with my hands.

I wouldn't say that, but we are running ours hard on the desert track and it's showing much more wear and tear than some other vehicles. I do not consider it as robust as a ARRMA basher.
Here is an image of the front. Get the RPM skid plates for sure.

I have grenaded 2 center diffs, one rear diff, broken drive shafts/cvds..... I’m tired of it lmao I’ll pay someone to do the dirty work and come up with a parts list to make this darn thing unbreakable... well as close as we can get to it at least

Both these RC can be combined to bring the U4 upto TLR kit level. I am not sure what their thinking was on a RTR class buggy rock crawler when clearly it needed to be a kit because they are literally forcing hobbiests to purchase a kit they will not use besides to ‘retune’ a U4 lasernut and down hop a kit TEN-sct. Seems that Losi just wanted to push it out the door, thou nice and awesome looking.

U4 Wheelbase vs TEN SCTE
The TEN-SCT is a PreRoller to the U4 sadly it seems I have left the sct platform for now.
