I hope Losi makes some aluminum hop-ups! like hubs, spindles and carriers.

FWIW, I was reading about the differences on another forum. The CVDs bind up a bit more under power, making the rear suspension 'stiffer', so it rolls less in the corners and doesn't bottom out on a landing as much. CVAs are free-er under power and dont bind the suspension as much. More roll, more likely to bottom out. Don't know if this is all really true, or just a theory. I have both setups for my current car, but haven't done any back to back testing.

I already called my local dealer to pre-order one. I haven't bought a new Losi buggy or truck in at least 9 years.

Might just get me to start wearing my Team Losi shirt in public again.

Not super excited about the metric conversion of everything. All my old standard stuff is wasted now. Least I have some metric stuff from a Kyosho I use to have.

I have been waiting to pull trigger on a 2wd 1/10 buggy, I am glad I did. This looks like the perfect platform to step up from SCT to Buggy.

re: USE of metric hardware! welcome to the global family! I am very happy about the use of metric hardware..

This should mean that 90% or more of the car uses 2mm screws. Shocks hanging with 2.5mm and a diff screw with 1.5mm LOVE IT!! Time to dust off my HUDY tools! YAH! i hate fractions! LOL

PLEASE!!!! you can't make everyone happy just something to *itch about

Losi is a great brand and it seems they have been developing great new product, it takes time to design, test and produce products for the market. Buy it or not this will be a great product

Hopefully it will. I really like the look of the car.
It is true there is no Team Losi in the electric side of Losi,
as thier focus of late
has been rockcrawlers and dirt oval racers.
The slider and 1/18 scale latemodels.
Thier Team Losi name still exists just in the 8th scale market only.

Stupid Losi, this buggy should've had all the electronics mounted in the mid-wait, what?
Stupid Losi, this buggy is built in the wrong country. Hmm. Only complaint. Good job, guys.



Probably not. This is probably exactly why they didn't do a full out rehash and release an RC10B5. For all we know, the B5 gets announced next week and it makes the 22 look like an ox cart


Did ThunderbirdJunkie pull a Rip Van Winkle and wake up in 2020

And 1998 an early release JRX2 eh
RC10B5 I'm sure will be out soon. Good thing I'm getting an AE tool set
for christmas in case I decide on the B5 instead.

does the fact that the Mike Truhe piloted xxx-cr is the current ROAR National 2wd buggy champ mean anything to you?

I like new buggy. Might have to pick one up, but I have to say, side by side pictures show that it's longer. Are they overcompensating for something?
