    Overview

     

    The original DBXL-E set the world on fire as the go-to vehicle for large scale bashers and enthusiasts alike. Its agile handling, out of the box speeds and durability make it a fan favorite. Now the Losi® DBXL-E 2.0 continues to build on the legendary status! Known worldwide for their dominance in the gas 1/5 market, especially with the 5IVE-T 2.0, Losi has built the DBXL-E 2.0 to be cleaner and easier to use, but with performance and speed that outruns the competition. At home in any environment from dirt to pavement, wet or dry, especially with its 4WD drivetrain with larger 5mm drive pins, the desert buggy makes sure all the power is put to the ground. Drivers stay in control with a DX2E Active™ transmitter, a Spektrum SR6100AT 6 Channel AVC® Telemetry Surface Receiver, and scale-to-size Maxxis Creepy Crawler LT tires. This desert buggy features all the technological advances drivers demand including the Spektrum Firma® 160 Amp Brushless SMART ESC and Spektrum Firma 4-Pole 780Kv Brushless Motor allowing you to hit 50+ MPH with an 8 cell LiPo battery. Finally, the DBXL-E 2.0 has a Losi and Fox Shox race-inspired motorsports themed livery for that true off-road look. You get all this and more from the brand that represents the pinnacle of performance.

    Video Overview

     

     

    Spektrum™ Firma® 160 Amp Brushless SMART ESC

    Spektrum™ Firma® 160 Amp Brushless SMART ESC

    The ESC is waterproof, completely programmable, and comes pre-wired with a high-current IC5 connector. The ESC will work with most sensorless brushless motors and is Li-Po and Ni-MH compatible. The SMART technology provides information like battery voltage, RPM, RX pack Voltage, and Speed directly from the ESC when used with the Spektrum Dashboard app.

     

    50+ MPH Spektrum Firma 4-Pole 780Kv Brushless Motor

    50+ MPH Spektrum Firma 4-Pole 780Kv Brushless Motor

    The brushless ESC and motor provide wicked power with an 8s LiPo battery (not included) that will blaze speeds of 50+ MPH.

     

    Spektrum S906 1/5th scale metal gear servo

    Spektrum S906 1/5th scale metal gear servo

    New 30-kg HV rated Hi Torque Metal Gear Servo.

     

    New Chassis Braces

    New Chassis Braces

    In addition to the chassis stiffening plate, we have also added an additional electric specific rear chassis brace that goes all the way up to the center diff mount to increase the rigidity of the chassis.

     

    Pinned Center Outdrive Cups

    Pinned Center Outdrive Cups

    New Center Outdrive cups now have a retaining pin through the pinion gear to keep the out drive cup from coming off.

     

    New Gearboxes

    New Gearboxes

    The new gearboxes improve drivetrain strength and stability.

     

    Updated Front and Rear Bulkheads

    Updated Front and Rear Bulkheads

    The front and rear bulkheads have been updated to match the new gearboxes designed for the DBXL-E 2.0. Two additional mounting locations were added to the side of the bulkheads to keep the gearboxes from rocking up and down under acceleration and braking. This provides a more stable drivetrain, and increased overall durability.

     

    Aluminum Center Diff Cup

    Aluminum Center Diff Cup

    Returning from the original DBXL-E is the aluminum diff cup used in the center differential. Today's brushless motors produce so much power, that you need to have the added strength and durability in the center diff that only an aluminum diff cup can provide.

     

    New Shocks with Laser Etched FOX Logo Shock Caps

    New Shocks with Laser Etched FOX Logo Shock Caps

    New shock bodies with a lower aluminum cap that allows for easier maintenance of the shock seals for improved performance. Sometimes, it is about the details. New upper shock caps with laser etched FOX logo set off that race inspired look.

     

    Laser Etched FOX Logo Shock Caps

    MAXXIS Creepy Crawler Tires with Authentic Bead Lock Wheels

    Genuine MAXXIS creepy crawler tread pattern tires provide added traction and offer extra control so you can stop, turn and swerve like a pro. Have confidence your tires will never come unglued and make tires changes a breeze with authentic bead lock wheels.

     

    Aluminum Shock Towers

    Aluminum Shock Towers

    We couldn't just stop at the shocks. The DBXL-E 2.0 gets all new Aluminum Shock Towers Front and rear with revised camber mounting locations for improved stability and handling.

     

    Heavy Duty Drivetrain

    Heavy Duty Drivetrain

    Increased the size of the out drives and drive shaft to support a larger 5mm drive pin for increased strength and durability.

     

    New Radio Tray

    New Radio Tray

    All new radio tray with sealed receiver box. The new radio tray allows for multiple steering servo configurations. Can be run as a single servo, or updated to run dual steering servos for maximum steering performance.

     

    New ESC Mount

    New ESC Mount

    To create space for the larger battery trays, we needed to find a new home for the ESC. The ESC has been relocated to a mounting plate off the center differential. This allows for optimal weight distribution within the car, while increasing the air flow over the top of the ESC for better running performance.

     

    New Race Themed Livery

    New Race Themed Livery

    New Fox Shox race inspired Motorsports themed livery for that true off-road look, along with an awesome Losi flame design trim scheme.

     

    Waterproof Electronics

    Waterproof Electronics

    The DBXL-E 2.0 is loaded with waterproof electronics including the receiver, servo and ESC. Everything is sealed against the elements allowing you to splash in the rain, spin in the mud and make tracks in the snow. It's full-throttle freedom to run anytime, rain or shine

     

    LED Light Bar

    LED Light Bar

    The roof mounted LED Light bar from the original DBXL-E returns to continue lighting the way for endless adventures.

     

    Spektrum™ DX2e Active™ Radio System

    Spektrum™ DX2e Active™ Radio System

    The Spektrum™ DX2e Active™ radio system offers advanced features like AVC control, a 3-position throttle limiting switch and travel adjust. It also includes a Bluetooth module to utilize the Spektrum Dashboard app.

     

    The Full-Throttle Freedom of AVC® Technology

    The Full-Throttle Freedom of AVC® Technology

    The receiver's built-in AVC® (Active Vehicle Control®) traction control system works behind the scenes, making hundreds of throttle and steering adjustments per second, so more of the motor's power is translated into ballistic speed and acceleration instead of just flying dirt. The patent-pending AVC system adds a level of performance that simply cannot be found with any vehicle from any manufacturer other than Horizon Hobby. Like traction control in your full-scale vehicle, you can activate or deactivate the system on the fly and adjust the level of stability based on driving conditions. Any RC vehicle can go fast and with AVC you can go faster while maintaining optimum stability in all driving conditions.

    @mydoddy69 (wanna see what you think)

     

    First video shows the DBXLE in the second half (first half is petrol DBXL). 

     

    I'm not gonna lie, this is probably my favourite release this year by quite a margin. I might be very mistaken here, i've never owned the original DBXLE, but in many videos i watched in regards to the V1, it seemed very "nose heavy". Basically it nose-dove every (or at the very least, most) jumps. I don't think it's fixed, but it seems at least in these videos very improved? I love the way it just irons through the wavy stuff. Which sucks, because jeebus did i fall into the "stairs trap". Starting at the Super Baja Rey (around £750), i then thought "well if i pay that much, i might as well get an X-Maxx" - bam, decision made, had to be an X-Maxx (after it became clear what Arrma is doing, even more so now that we already can see the flaws). £950 now. Now i'm looking at these videos and some tiny voice in the back of my head already goes "well, you know.. it's only £110 more than the X-Maxx.. just saying..". 

     

    45mph out of the box, and it's probably just made for where i'm going to run it (dunes/sand/beach). 

     

    Great. Now what am i supposed to do. My wife is going to rip me a new one lol. 

     

    edit: second video 6:34 he throws it top speed into a dirt mound. No bending occured. 

     

     
    I got to be honest I loved the v1 so these are very much on my radar I think there built better than the kraton xl even the motor is better I just love the way they rip around vastly better than the kraton xl imo but and there’s always a but there different rigs similar but not really the same. 
     

    lastly I have a x maxx so this would be my next choice but this or an x maxx hmm that to me would be a x maxx but tough choice 

     

    It looks the nuts though and these new v2 ones are awesome 👍👍

     

    edit 

    For where you using it I think this might be better suited for running in the woods parks bmx tracks skate parks etc the x maxx is KING 😂👍

    Yeah, but i have never, and will never, run my RC in a skate park (and we don't have a BMX track anywhere here). :D

     

    What i have plenty of is flat ground, beach, dunes, grass. 

     

    Don't get me wrong, haven't made my mind up yet (surprise) - mainly because i feel like even with the GensAce 6750s the runtime is a little.. meh, but.. It just looks awesome. The X-Maxx still has appeal with wheelies on demand, being a bit more bonkers.

     Open flat ground dunes and grass I reckon the maxx might get a little boring after a while where as these would be killer imo 👍 

     

    Tough call though i have a lot of woods where I bash so x maxx is best but I also have a nice open playing field or 3 which I’d get one of these for 👍

    I'll probably spin the wheel honestly, can't afford but want both and have trouble making my mind up. 

     

    Just need to find some proper high capacity lipos, since we can't get SMC or Venom stuff anymore (rather, not reasonably). Some 8000mah 50+C packs would be great.

    Like the guy in the video said.The dbxle has such a presence it almost looks like slow motion when jumping it.

    200C burst discharge seems.. optimistic. That'd be 1600 amps. 

     

    In that case i'll stick with "if something seems to good to be true" - i have not met a single person running them, and there's pretty much not a single review out there. In terms of batteries, i don't take chances, so i'll pass on them (potentially missing out on a gem - but i rather be safe than sorry). 

     

    I wonder if it's not better to just get two sets of cheap 4s zippies/graphenes with around 5000mah rather than one big set.

    Minimum of 20 packs on Alibaba at 60-70 USD per pop, just checked.

    And yeah, they look like the ludicrous packs, at least shapewise. Meh. -.-

     Go direct you get a better deal but you have to buy more  but even at 20 packs that’s not a bad deal to be fair if you can get a pool of folks interested there a great buy 👍

     

    edit I’d be up for some 👍👍

    Anyone know if the receiver on these has telemetry that you can use with a DX4S or something? I know it has some bluetooth thing to use with an app, but I'm not fussed about that

    If you look at the Spektrum radio range, any radio that supports "SMART technology" has telemetry out of the box. Things like the DX5C SMART, or the DX5 Rugged etc. Don't know for sure about the DX4S, but pretty certain it doesn't support "SMART". Look for "Spektrum Smart technology ready" in the product description.
