HUNTER.P Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) certainly interesting, but mixed opinions at the moment. Unsure why - but would like to see one run first before i look into its niggles etc first but the 4wd thing is certainly a +1 Edited September 8, 2011 by HUNTER.P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope their 24MM so silverback 5T rims fit with some nice hostile MXTs Really liking the look of this now from the preview vid on youtube looks like its the same fitment as the baja i think that because there is such a huge range of wheels on the market for the baja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turner Boy Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 isnt the mcd engine side mounted? samba pipes fit side mounts, no? If i could buy any r/c car, this would be worth a punt...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure why - but would like to see one run first before i look into its niggles etc first but the 4wd thing is certainly a +1 Its the same as the hugely successful and incredibly tough 8ight but bigger so there shouldnt be too many niggles from the preview vid on youtube looks like its the same fitment as the baja i think that because there is such a huge range of wheels on the market for the baja Would be daft to make them anything different TBH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adolf hamster Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 losi, you guys are gods. a new design, 4wd, even if it is basically a scaled up 1/8 buggy there's nowt wrong with that. oh and you put an engine and an epic shell on it. i salute you good sir's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphinx Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 It would be nice to see this going around the track against a HPI Baja SC Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adolf hamster Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 isnt the mcd engine side mounted? samba pipes fit side mounts, no? If i could buy any r/c car, this would be worth a punt...... the mcd engine is at 90*, the same way as fg's, and the baja. this is obv the same way its done in nitros. although i'm wondering if the weight balance is gonna be ok. also, the cage is sexy, the shell is sexy, the car is sexy. its just ao AWESOME!!!!!

carmst74 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 It would be nice to see this going around the track against a HPI Baja SC Gav There would be no comparison. The 5SC is rear wheel drive. This would eat it up and spit it out in every corner. The baja may be faster but it will have more difficulty putting the power down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The baja may be faster but it will have more difficulty putting the power down not quite, supposedly in 5th scale racing 2wd and 4wd have much less of a gap then they do at smaller scales, thats why the likes of hormann etc are mostly rwd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy111 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Its a fair bit bigger than a baja as well. I really want one of these! Maybe next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom C Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Just watched the video, what a bit of kit! It's the first 5th scale i would REALLY want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover Man Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Looks like we may have to change some rules at our AGM this year as the losi is too long to race as an outlaw in the national series, The max length is 900mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creamsodauk Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 didnt losi also do this with their short course 1/10 electric? they made it just longer then is permitted in the race series, almost as if they dont want them in races incase they dont win or something odd? but il agree with adolf, its a dam sexy truck and id love too get my hands on one!
