I highly doubt it, Losi has been essentially dead silent regarding 1/10th scale re-release, which I think is a shame.

Unless 3D vintage running spares, Dragon Punch, Sabula or any of these vintages supporting aftermarket parts manufacturer decides to do it I don`t see a re-release of those chassis.

The Losi vintage chassis are quite a challenge because 3D printing (even in MJF) isn`t ideal and weaker. But making them in machined aluminium is not cost efficient either, they have too many complex curves and geometry.

They did a carbon conversion for the XX 2wd , but honestly its just not that same as an original chassis.

So unless someone is willing to pony up 15'000$-30'000$ for a custom mold with the proper CAD and design work behind it, they're not coming back.

Losi might still have the molds because these were made in the USA back then, but who knows, they might've been destroyed. Lots of rumors around that.
