Thats what I said in my video, know what your buying not everything is for skate parks and big jumps and we have a problem on TH-cam with that being the norm for judging a car they forget people actually drive and not try to destroy their stuff.
Yup, it's an offroader. Period. It's made to rip around on the ground. That's the problem nowadays is people think that every rc should be able to be launched off jumps. I had gotten the hammer rey to just offroad and that's it.

I’d have to agree. It is fast haha. I have clocked 53.6 on mine, and ran out of room. I have been really enjoying mine. I have been running it every day this week. Lucky hasn’t had a single issue. Absolutely love it!
I really appreciate how thorough you are when going through these vehicles. Gives a much more informative look at the quality and overall build, so people have a much better idea of what they may want to spend their money on. Thank you!
Thanks. That’s exactly why I do it. I understand that people are spending their hard earned money on these products and they deserve to know what they’re getting.
Yeah, actually enjoyed the video editing portion of this sorting through the action and picking the cool close-up shots showing the suspension movement.
Incase you didnt know the silver screws on the shocks are reverse thread. I thought the dogbones and that would be a issue without having an upper control arm I added some droop to it before taking it out and no dogbone issue. The tire having to come off is a major pain they initially had a quick release thats in the manual thats why it had the addendum showing the wing nut. My tire is staying off. Whether you want it or not at this price point the cheap non gyro receiver is not acceptable. You did not mention the battery tray it can only hold a smaller 3s packs there is no getting a single 6s in here the way its designed its tight for the 3s other than that good review as always
Love you very thorough description of the buggy in each of its components. You show us shortcomings as well as its great features. Thank you so much for your thorough description of every item on the buggy.
At my LHS a while ago they were trying to fix a standard size U4 & were shocked at how small most of the bits were for the size. They seem a great idea, but like the Axial Yeti XL I had; it was scaled up from the 1:10, but not enough & it kept breaking in moderate use. Losi seem to try harder than others & I have a number of their vehicles, but this one ain't on the shopping list.
Losi seems to skimp on the drivetrains for some reason. The tenacity line and the lasernut line are very small. My 3s losi DBpro has smaller diff internals than a 2wd brushed slash
@@V8chump DB Pro is one of the best in their 1/10 range, really like mine, but anything based one the 1/10 Rey's needs better driveshafts after a few runs due to bending. & agree, internals seem small for the size.
It's just clicked for me that 2 of my favorite rigs to own but rarely drive because they're not really good at both Losi. I love my LMT but hate driving it because it's terrible at RC truck stuff and breaks a lot. I love my Super Rock Rey. It's the cheapest large scale I've ever had because i bought it when it was on that crazy sale last year for $500 or so. I have only driven it a few times because I'm not exactly sure what to do with it. It's not a monster basher but also not a great handling rig. I think my Super Baja Rey 2.0 drives much better but i like the SRR more. I've decided that Losi is really good at making really good, bad trucks.
That thing is a monster!! Funny how it needed mending after light abuse. Good review. Looks like it was fun. Have a nice weekend. Where in CT was this? I’m in The New Haven area.
17:28 what’s the issue with the outdrive? They look like they rubbed a little on the outside and warped where the dogbone sits a tiny bit but it doesn’t look too bad?
You've made another great video. And you honestly address the weak points, which I think is great. Of course you can't speak plainly, that's clear to everyone. Losi is a specialist in stretching vehicles, we've known that since the whole Rey series, 1/10 platforms are getting bigger and bigger. But the fact that they're now building a 1/6 based on a size that's no bigger than the Slash is clearly taking it too far. Wake up people, 1/8 competition lightweight construction??? That's just 1:10 well marketed, the bearings in the diff are Tamiya size! With the Super Rey they showed what a real 1:6 drive train looks like, so they would know, and they're fooling us more and more. Experience shows that the model will be discontinued in two years at the latest anyway, parts will no longer be available either, thanks Horizon!
I love the Losi designs, but have never been satisfied with their durability. I have the Tenacity DB PRo and it constant eats diff gears. Got tired of fixing it and upgraded to an Arrma Mojave EXB and have never broken any of the mechanical parts. The original Lasernut and the DBXL-E both have really poor reputations for durability. I know that they arent' marketed as bashers but having an RC just fall apart with normal use is unacceptable. Curious to see how this holds up.
DoRC has had some issues durability wise. He's been more demanding of the car but I think an 800usd platform should handle it. Like said, 1/6th rig (with all the extra weight, power, etc) using 1/8th parts is not the better starting point.
Come on dude! That car should for sure be 8S. I understand why they went 6S with it, just look at the weakness in the front suspension. Horizon should invested a little more in beefing up the vehicle. The charge top dollar for Losi products and typically Im a big Losi supporter but in this case there are better options for your money.
I wish they went smaller like 1/7th and beefed it up a bit. Just seems underpowered (edit) maybe not so underpowered* with 1/8th size parts. Then again this isn't really a basher and more suited for just general offroading/driving. I wouldn't even want to attempt to jump this thing lol
Speed , more speed. 6s, 8s, 10s, ... All that power translates in crashes, unless your suspension can keep up. Many RC's know speed sells, but its no good if the suspension cant keep up to the power. Some 3s over power the suspension. Many times racing, slower is faster
And I really wish they would have put the motor on one side of the car and the ESC on the other side that way you could run it a battery on each side instead of both batteries on one I feel like that's a downfall on a lot of vehicles
The first version was an absolute wreck & this one is not much different I’m not wasting another $500 as mine just sits broken it’s a money bit & a a self Queen.
Losi is shit!! The buggy will eat parts and money to keep it running. The plastics Horizon/losi uses are horrible. Horizon killed Losi when they’re acquired them years ago.
@@rcdriver Team Corally kagama xp or hell any other team corally for that mater, id even take a Hobao Hyper mtx over losi over priced and not very reliable rc, look at the laser nut before it that thing self destructs.
I love mine. 6 charges through it with no real issues. I bash my Arrmas, this is a scale rig. It's plenty quick on 6s, and accelerates really hard. It's way lighter than my Super Rock Rey, or any of my 8s rigs for that matter, so it is perfectly fine on 6s.
i love how Losi goes so much out of their way to aesthetically replicate the original 1:1 car... but are the exact opposite mechanically, choosing the laziest route possible, resulting in some really poorly designed and made RCs (all of their U4 RCs are... no good), that have nearly nothing to do with the original...
Looks pretty good. People need to understand it’s not an X-Maxx and not meant to be driven like one.
Yes! Thank You!

Kinda agree. 12:25 the crash here would probably break a full scale one as wel
8s size. 6s electronics. 4s drivetrain.
A wrencher’s dream. That’s gonna be one expensive RC to keep running.
I agree….I have to be gentle with my Lasernut U4 bc the dogbones disconnect CONSTANTLY
@@MichaelJones-ok4yuyea dude the 1/10 lasernut looks incredible but I hear it’s a pain. How hard is it to wrench on?
@@V8chump I have a db pro same chassis different tuning basically and it is really easy to work on once the top plate is off
When you have a Mojave exb you kinda want an rc that breaks once in a while to have something to work on for a change 😂

This is one of my favorite videos of yours. I like the slow Mo shots with the intense music 👍🏼 🔥. It’s pretty sweet rig too.😂. Thank you.
Just like my SBR, UDR and Lasernt, these are all SCALE RC CARS. Realistic car to be driven as such. Great vid, thnx

Looks super realistic 👌
This thing drives beautifully on the dirt. Could be nice at the beach too.
Great footage Greg! 👌

Rear tire on the 1/10 laser nut wasn’t an issue. They didn’t duplicate on this one.
Maybe the axle pop act like a fuse, stopping something breaking?
Just start the vid at 9:03, right when the beat drops, yeah straight Drop Dat heat My Bah!!!
This is too nuts!😅

They could’ve done it on the DBXLE platform, it would’ve been way better
Looking forward to see how well it performs.
1/6th scale car with 1/8th scale parts sounds like a recipe for expensive repairs.
Good lookin though.
It's just a stretched truggy or Big Rock 6s size.
I thought hte same thing about the parts used on this car.

That thing is fun when you drive it scale, huh?
Top footage 👍🏻
O rings on the axel cup to take the slack out.
That trick only works with dogbones and not the front universals which is what I had a problem with.
WE NEED A NITRO REVIEW!!!!!

Really nice if you're not already doing the realise videos you should be 👌

What would be great is if losi could make shocks that aren’t junk.
Yes!!
Sadly it seems they kept in a smaller scale running gear. I almost bought it too. Dang.

The drive train in this should have been in the smaller Lazernut. Mine on the bench just couldn't keep it running due to breakages.

That only works for dogbones. Not for universals which is what popped out.

Look at that crazy servo horn!? 5:36 Generally taking a smaller rc and stretching it out is not a good idea imo
My dog bones on my Losi Lasernut U4 disconnect after light driving on the street & backyard… I’m not a basher….Losi should have addressed this issue
I’m Mostly here just for the comment section 😂😂😂
Good looking truck but on my bugit, all I can afford is Walmart toy grade cars & trucks !😢😢
Trump 24
I feel like a lot of the parts look very small for a 1/6 scale vehicle but maybe I'm just wrong
Silver head screw on front an rear arms are reverse thread how dumb
It’s smart. Standard screws backed themselves out as the shock moved on early versions of the 8ight. The reverse screws fixed the problem.
Losi is shit!! The buggy will eat parts and money to keep it running. The plastics Horizon/losi uses are horrible. Horizon killed Losi when they’re acquired them years ago.
💭🤔 just still not worth the money over price by 350 bucks and I have a collection of success cars 🤨
The body will look great on other platforms. Another cash grab by Losi, think what they did with the Lasernut body and Tekno platforms lol
$800 for this what a rip off, way better options for that much money.
…and they are?
