Pistonhead Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Still don't get why losi supply a 2ch radio when most of their higher end stuff, at half the price of the db, come with 3ch radios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly_roger_uk Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I'm interested in this Dynamite brand name. Does it already exist in something else or is it a new thing for this model? I can't help but think that 'Dynamite' is not the best choice of brand for an engine lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Dynamite lipos, escs and motors are appearing in Vaterra Kit (also from Horizon Hobbies), however I claim first dibs on the 'poor motor name choice' reference. So there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 im interested in this,but need to save up,id also like to see some reviews and bashing aswell Chris will no doubt be the first person to get a review out on it, while Chris is a very decent guy, he is a bit of a brand queen, so expect him to hop it up pretty quickly I imagine more folks will do box stock reviews after a while though.

Going to be looking forward to some of these getting out there...and looking forward to some reviews/thoughts as they get used.. Gotta say on looks alone its a winner...

Carpmart Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I'm personally convinced it'll be every bit as strong as the 5ive... But that's just me, I have faith in what they can do, when you consider what a beating the 5ive can take completely box stock. I'm looking forward to Chris's review anyway, that's for sure. I'm afraid I disagree. Look at the shock towers on Losi 5ive compared to this .................. just for starters! Going to be looking forward to some of these getting out there...and looking forward to some reviews/thoughts as they get used.. Gotta say on looks alone its a winner... I'd hold your horses there Tonto until a few people have nashed it a bit! I think it may disappoint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hold your horses there Tonto until a few people have nashed it a bit! I think it may disappoint! Looking at it and actually testing it are two completely different things. I'm not one to judge a book by it's cover... I imagine the testers at Horizon have put it through it's paces enough to be satisfied it's ready for sale.

Killer RC Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I have a DBXL. It's pretty cool. Needs a little shimming and adjustment, but it'll be fine. A tuned pipe helps. We have a LiPo battery pack and some other hop ups in the works already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rctruckz Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Id be very suprised if this ends up a fail, wherever its made or whatever parts are used Im pretty sure losi would have put it through its paces and resolved any weak links before they put there name on it. It would be pretty dumb for them to release it if it was poor as it would defo have a negative impact on there largescale presence which at present is one of the best out thete with the 5ive, so like I say, id be very suprised.. Personally I like the look of it and the geomotry of the lsyout, time will tell but for anyone to judge it before its been tested by an outsider is very naieve! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
