Got mine 3 days ago and yes its an awesome machine but for the price tag,I really didn't notice that much difference. Wish I would have maybe raced the 1.0 for another season or so to see if the price may drop a little. And this is just MY opinion but anyone looking to buy a truggy,I would just get a 1.0 for 299 right now. Like I said the 2.0 is nice but not$ 300 nicer. Just my opinion

Default 2.0 is here

The UPS guy brought my 2.0 today. Painting it up right now. The left rear shock shaft was pulled out before I even opened the box. Wondering what’s up with Losi. They are usually flawless and spot on, but I’m hearing a lot of the shock shafts pulling out. Time will tell. Oh well still excited to run it this weekend.

Yea I had to order new parts and I haven’t even installed the engine yet. My shock boot is torn too and they aren't available yet. Not a “set the droop” problem, it’s a manufacturer problem.

Threads stripped out completely and the tie wraps that secure the truck in the box were all broke too. I think the shipment got dropped or seriously mishandled. I wont be surprised if other problems surface.

It's getting worse with each post.

Keep and eye on the f/s forum, I may be listing an " 8t 2.0 starter kit" before I even get the truck.
