Default A new oval release from Losi

http://www.losi.com/

Losi is set to release an oval specific vehicle on 3/13/08. But that's all they are showing for now.

I'll put out a guess of 1/10 sedan latemodel RTR.

Throw out your guess' or opinions because I have no idea.

I think you both might be right a 1/10th slider that can be fitted for both sprint car and dirt late model racing. But a sedan that is a latemodel is a cool idea I have 5 myself check out www.nhrccarracing.com for pics. go to R/C car div. pics or to my pics. I have 2 4-tec's one Associated TC-3 and 2 TT-O1 from Tamiya done up with asphalt ASA late model bodies from McAllister racing bodies on them.

I know exactly what it is and I can tell you that it is NOT 1/10 scale.

How do I know??

I've driven it! And it is really cool!!

hopefully it's something cool, like an 8ight with a latemodel body, but i doubt it.

it's probably a micro.

I'm going to take a 100% guess and say it's a nitro Slider

Dirt oval track and ease of maintenance never go hand in hand.Unless it's just dirt laid in an oval shape.

Really? I seriously thought without having to worry about jumps and facing issues as well as changes in elevation - it would be easier then an offroad track

If you want a consistently smooth track,then it will take a lot to maintain it.If your not so picky then you can get away with a lot.Make a short track,so it will be easier for you to get right.

If this is true it gives me hope for a 1/8 LM. Slight hope. I just hope it's not a mini LM or a micro something. Just because they havent' caught on around here yet. C'mon 1/8 LM. LOL.

Dont know what it will be, but i positive it will be some simple little RTR and all the racing purist will scream about how losi has gone to the dogs and doesnt care about us anymore like when the "speed t" came out...........
