All new brakes. Only thing that carries over from 4.0 are the diffs.

So is this a good chassis or what? All I'm seeing is negativity.

They are same kind of brakes tuning kit has but they are the same size front and rear with a new material pad. I believe they are a smaller rotor from looks.


Honestly the results dont don’t show the cars potential because these guys haven’t had the complete car probably until roar nats, if anyone had the full car it was phend and I’m not sure how much racing he got in with it as the complete x chassis. I’m sure the new car is better, as a losi guy over the years I see a lot of stuff changed that needed to be changed, the wider chassis to deliver a less edgy car, refined shocks that will be a lot better and an even easier car to work on with some interesting new ways to tune your car on the fly. Might I add the new center diff that’s it’s own peice with a floating throttle servo all together I know will bring a more traditional feel even if this stiffens the car up adding to the fact they need time to find a setting for an obviously stiffer chassis. The cars completely new which means a lot of tweaking but I’m confident that buggy will be hooked up on a fast track.

I think TLR might need someone other than Phend to show us all what this car could do. Not impressed at all, but then again driver failed to even put it in the A main at Roar Nats. Not a good showing for either driver or TLR. Heck, TLR only had JR mitch at AMS 9.0. No bueno. Ironing out the kinks or not, it should be doing better than what its placing.

The new car was always faster then my 4.0 every time I tested it. Sometimes .5 second a lap faster, others a full second a lap faster. I'm just an average club racer, driver. It is a better and faster car in every way. The team just needs to finalize a couple different set ups. They were really close at the nationals. Just 1 or 2 spots short. The laptimes really improved that last day. It all boiled down to the racing.
