Noj Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I'll wager a 5ive buggy will be produced..... IMO, the dbxl platform, being narrower, is better suited to this MT than the 5ive. I shall now 'duck and cover'..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babylon Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Is it me, Or is the X-Maxx not as big as people keep making out, People kept saying that it's massive, Well someone in our group has one, And it's not that big. As monster trucks go, It's still the Blackout to beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Maybe the X-Maxx is big for what it is, a plastic basher. Nowt wrong with that, it keeps weight and production costs down. Can't wait to see more vids of this on the fly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I like it, just not the wheels they look comical like it doesn't have any just visible foams. The losi rcmk thing might mske sense does rcmk have anything showing their version of the mt? I think losi next move should be a 5th scale 8ight T. To dominate the racing.

scatteh316 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Maybe won't look so bad if you put Blackout MT wheels on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJJ Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Personally it should be embraced as another alternative in the 5th scale market and it will definitely appeal to some and draw them into large scales Its not for me but that's just my personal choice, I really want losi to do a proper trophy truck, lightweight, rwd or 4wd, nice cage and authentic shell and I would have one in a heartbeat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Freeprawn carries all the DBXL and 5ive spares, so I'm pretty sure they will for this aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Yeah. TPSRacing are already listing it in Holland. Excellent shop and very helpful. Trying to keep options open on those wheels, or whelks!! Al. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocdcbr Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) It has! I see it on Modelsport for £1000 i do like the idea of it for sure. Price tho.. It might be fair? but it's too much for me Edited April 22, 2016 by Ocdcbr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatteh316 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 £1000 is way to much, you can get a Blackout MT and address all it's little niggles for less then that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 You can, but, tbh, the Blackfoot has had its day and was never that good to begin with. It filled a gap in the market, got a bit of a cult following and that was that. Losi are trying something new-ish, it could prove to be everything the Blackout wasn't. It could also prove to be a bit poo as well. We'll know when someone buys one and rags the backside off it.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveyb84 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I really really fancy this. I noticed it earlier when looking at modelsport. Could be a purchase at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Sort of....however, it should be hitting retailers imminently so with a fair wind and a bit of luck, someone will get one and review it... Any idea where these rumours of hub failure and steering maladies came from??? No proper online reviews I've been able to find as yet.... I'll be honest, it's growing on me.....seeing one in the flesh may just be the decider, although it wouldn't be an immediate purchase.

RCbutcher Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Leccy vs petrol argument was settled last Sunday lol. When top gear driving the new tesla (prius looking bubble car) left a dodge challenger srt hellcat for dead. I was blown away almost as much as the hellcat was lol.
