Forget the Losi RTR, whatever stock is out there now won't be there long. Horizon is killing off nitro RTRs real soon if not already.

Traxxas engines are trash for the most part. I understand peoples nipples invert when they read that but who cares. The plastic carbs are trash and the rods break, even on a good tune. Also, Traxxcrap nitros are poor quality overall, fanboys will claim otherwise but those same people run up and down the street then shut the engine off. Heck, a cheaper Redcat can do that.

At this point, people will be better off with the following options:

-Buy Kyosho Neo RTR, even with their spotty parts availability. It's handling is better, the engine is better, the carb is better, the diffs are, etc, etc.

-Buy a used 1/8th scale.

-Buy a kit (Tekno, Kyosho, Mugen) drop in parts and enjoy.
