Lasernut U4, SMART ESC: 1/10 4WD RTR

Shame about the wheels but the body and cage is great. Prefer to the other losi desert buggy. 

Shame it hasn’t a solid rear axle ,looks good though 

 Very nice 👍.  Hopefully it won’t be priced ridiculously high in the U.K. 

 

Loved my old losi Desert Buggy  regret selling it to be honest maybe I’ll treat myself at Christmas 

Just watched the Harley video on it, looks great and is $480 so presumably something around that in GBP🤞

Really like the U4 platform, but agree a solid rear would've been great.

Probably the best advert I've watched in a very long time

It is a good advert really liked the water running bit 🍻

I’ve never seen that rear roll bar set up on IRS buggy before 

Looks awesome in the vid. Thinking this one is more for the American market than anywhere else mind. Looking at the price and thinking about bashing round you have to think you’d probably be better of with a 1/18th buggy here but like I said it does look the nuts with some nice design features 👍

Don’t know much about the Spectrum electronics, it comes with IC5 connectors, the spectrum 4s battery is £100, which seems a lot?, could you change the connectors on the ESC to run others?, would this affect it at all?

Have answered my own question, Ec5 and IC5 are the same, I assume then that the battery level wouldn’t work on the transmitter without the Spectrum batteries (not the end of the world obviously)

They aren't the same, but they are compatible

 

You do indeed lose the ability to read out cell voltage though. For that you not only need the IC5 connector, but also the SMART packs. I run my Firma 160 with "normal" batteries and XT90 connectors, works just fine.
