Default LOSI Dominates

i remember a few weeks ago people talking about how Losi is not a racing team and that they are turning into a RTR company. funny how they dominated the 2008 smowbirds finals with the JRXS- R in stock 27t foam 27t rubber and 19t spec, yes 3 classes. also dominating the rumble in the rockies these past few weeks with the XXX-CR and XXXT-CR in 2WD modified class... hmmm not a racing team, i wonder what you call that then...

Its a XXX-T and thats a great truck but its still just a XXX-T, not "beefed up."


I was one of those people, and I still am but this is better, I do admit.

i hate when they release "downgraded" minis
or just make a new model with VERY little changes
such as the rammunition, raminator
there all the same mlst
then they make it only 1 motor...
just like the speed-t
they made all this hype for a NEW model
all i saw was a xxxt with a brushless system, a new body, new wheels/tires, and a new radio system


i will agree they are starting to become a rtr company

I don't think they are junk. I think they are a good company. I do think that they have fallen behind with ae though.

Another one of these dominating threads.

Sorry your wrong, the speed-t IS junk and it does not come with a spectrum radio, it comes with a DSM radio and that is no improvment, my 50 doller heli came with a dsm radio so now we know what there worth. I'd take a xxx-t over a speed-t anyday because unlike the speed-t the xxx-t isnt junk. since when is a speed-t a beefed up xxx-t? how do you know this it isnt even out yet? losi isnt origional anymore copying traxxas with the vxl (id take a rustler vxl over a speed-t ANY day) and with their crap raminator junk. losi needs to pull up their pants and release some new trucks that arent junk.

no use arguing with you if you cant tell the chassis is a XXXT but with beefed up upgrades, and for your info it is a spektrum technology but in a losi shell radio, i should have worded it better...

As to what I'd take, neither one of us can say. For that matter, NO one can say because the speed-t isn't out. I have my opinions formed, but I don't like putting down a car before it's out.

For that matter, I would take a flux over both of them.

Really, when you post a thread saying "LOSI dominates" what do you think your going to get?

You were asking for it, not everyone likes Losi. If they don't their going to tell you. . .

Your comparing the wrong cars. Compare the speed-t and the Rustler, you might have a different opinion. Traxxas makes some great trucks, I personally don't think the new E-maxx is one of their best. It's a good car, just from what I rember, a money pit.

how are they putting a spektrum in a losi shell
are you kidding me right now
ur trying to tell us that they are including
an ACTUAL spektrum radio made my spektrum rc

DSM= 2.4ghz technology,,, thats the digital spectrum module
now if i am right (correct if im not)
spektrum rc made the first ones of these

lots of companys now have 2.4gig radios
such as the m11fhss , 3pk fasst, mx3 fhss
but those are actuall GOOD radios
the losi one IS 2.4ghz but it still is kinda cheapy
i mean not rly adjustable (only has epas i think)
no screen
no digital trims
and it just looks cheap

the speed-t is a xxxt
but they put a new electronics system in it
i dont think they should say NEW MODEL
or create tons of hype

off of horizon hobbies.

* Fully programmable Xcelorin ESC with three selectable pre-programmed driver profiles including a Beginner, Sport and High-Performance modes
* Quick Programming Card provides further adaptability to adjust throttle/reverse limits, braking and battery type for complete customization
(((((((((((((((((* Losi MTX Pro Radio System with Spektrum™ 2.4GHz DSM® Technology))))))))))))))
* Losi EC3 low resistance power connectors
* Digital steering servo for precise control
* Lowered chassis and suspension design for high-speed handling

get your facts straight people.... if horizon owns both spektrum and LOSI, why would they put a different dsm in there?? as stated before they are using spektrum radio, ok let me rephrase "spektrum's technology" in a losi shell.
