Still, my point remains. There is alot good going for the Losi. Popularity and podiums deosn't make it a better car. Just more popular.
To be the best car out there Losi needs:
- to fess up to the servo tray issues and get it resolved.
-Lose the chinese plastic and get some molding machines up and running here in the USSA.
- Copy Xrays direct drive shafts. bigtime lighter and no set screws.
-put the Dx3r in the RTR kits instead of the DX3s.
-ever so slightly better gears. The Kyosho/Odonnel/Mugen/Xray cars do roll better than the AE/Hotbodies/Losi cars.
-carbon fibre shock towers
- and most of all.........a body style that isn't so fishy:
I'd be first in line for one of those, then again it would nearly be an Xray then.

I'd love to see them built back in CA again.
DX3R in an RTR? Put down the glass pipe
X-ray have an M11 in their kit I'm unaware of? I havent had any issues with gears yet but it's only got about 1.25 gallons through it.
I prefer aluminum shock towers.
I like the buggy body but that truggy is ugly as sin.

The servo tray flexes but I'm not sure that is a problem. It does flex under extreme braking but what issues does that cause?

I think its not the brake force pulling the servo plate. I think the chassis flex bends the radio plate. The servo hits the chassis possibly in a hard landing. Servos don't like to be twisted. If the chassis pushes the servo case one way and the radio plate twists it another.......
A really respectable racer pointed out how smooth his Kyosho Mp9 rolls compared to my RC8. If been making a note of it with every car I pick up.
Just needs fixed.

try blowing the grease out of your bearings and using just a drop or two of some high quality bearing oil. makes a huge difference, but requires more maintenance.
