Plan on putting another100-150 into.the Losi for chassis, shocktowers estc.


[QUOTE=fq06;11124212]New to dirt, you come from onroad? If so, your going to need those onroad tuning skills for this truck.

One isn't better than the other IMO, they both get the job done differently.
Check out the losi SCTE also. It's not perfect, neither is the associated but it's easier to get setup and going fast out of the box than the associated.

The associated drives more like a sedan on dirt than the losi so maybe that's a good thing for you.
The losi drives more like a 1/8 buggy, stable but with less turn in than the associated.

Generally the losi is better suited to outdoor tracks and the associated is better suited to indoor tracks. Where will you be racing?

Like Ryan said, if you decide AE, get the team factory team kit for sure.[/QUOTE]
