The Losi truck isn't the competition for the T4.1, the RT5 is. The 22t can match my laptimes at the sharp end of the field in a 17.5 blinky class for only the first 2-3 minutes and then they always fade off to the point where all but one of the better-driven 22t's by me has been shelved. The reason is simple; my T4.1 weighs half a pound less than than the next lightest 22t we've weighed. To keep up, they have to run more gear or endbell timing and that leads to fade everytime. In a mod class, the weight could play into the hands of the Losi but in stock, we've had nights were the entire class was only AE and Kyosho trucks anymore.
