Carpmart Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Nope... Losi have built this on the wrong platform using the DBXL not the 5ive, so I won't be having one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evssv Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I'll turn my dbxl into one if need b....i have a decent shell or 2.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freedom Racers Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Am sure Losi will provide a conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Unlikely, very unlikely cos Losi doesn't operate like that. You'll be buying all bits required individually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freedom Racers Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) We should get a petition together and present it to Losi. Edited June 22, 2016 by Freedom Racers Spelling mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Al, each wheel weighs 1140g, so I really wouldn't be fitting those to the X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mond Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) They are huge! Why not put two Baja rear tyres on an xmaxx? Wouldn't they be larger than stock but lighter than those DBXL MT jobbies? Edited June 28, 2016 by mond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I was surprised at their size.....pics do not do this truck justice. I know Al had hinted at wanting to try some, and I agree that the look suits the X perfectly.....however..... A losi nomad weighs 600g, btw.

Hi noj is this your pic? have you got the truck? the wheels on the blackout are over 1kg each aswell, I think they chew up a Xmaxx drivetrain in a few mtrs!

Leeb Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Blimey, the size of them ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I'm not sure if the DBXL transmission could even handle them! Have they beefed it up from the buggy??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Not in terms of driveshaft diameter. Dbxl diffs appear to be very good, as in, in terms of spares sales, they have never sold in big numbers, the front diff outdrive is another matter entirely, but then at the angle it runs, this was always going to be so. How these diffs will deal with 1.1kg per corner is another unknown. Weak points are generally resolved with hop up parts, this MT isn't going to be any different to any other RC on the market. Just needs an MT enthusiast with deep pockets to order it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Good info. Cheers Noj. Bit disappointing, and still waiting on Proline or somebody else to create realistic-looking MT wheel / tyre combos for the 'X'. Perhaps the delay really is simply through the weak drive-train ... tests are being performed, and wheels lightened to see if the chassis can take it ... Al.

.AJ. Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 The centre shafts, 4mm hex pins and front cvds are the weak points of the drivetrain on the DBXL, but FLM do decent upgrade parts at reasonable price 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
