Losi Desert Buggy XL-E

£325.03 posted for the 4  

Pretty much the same as what I paid. So how many you got now, thought you bought some for your Tekno?

Yeah I got 6 all in now we'll when these come I will have sadly that won't be much in the way of runtime but it's a start lol 

 

 

You know what I haven't been on here much for a few months. Then I log in and yet again and there's something I will buy for a daft price even though I don't need it. Bloody LOSI and my 1/5 obsession,.

Picked up 4 of these in preparation but I'm also hoping my lipos for the x Maxx fit aswell if not I'll have to run a mix of 6s and 8s for a while

Max battery length is 141mm according to Chris Higa from Losi hope that helps [emoji1303]

 Cheers fella don't suppose you got the width aswell ? 

Far too small.....A dremmel will be used to maximise pack length.....

 

Having a black version, grey just is too much like the Northern skies....

Yep I hear ya but look at the pic there's not much in the way of spare room ?

No sorry not got width but not sure that will be as much of an issue as the length. I was looking at the Turnigy graphene 6000mah 4s but won't look like they will fit at 160mm and yes the don't look much room to make any mods!

Still on the fence about whether to get one or not now the battery thing is concerning me plus already got a petrol DBXL decisions decisions!

Looking at that picture maybe the ESC could be re-located to the other side above the servo?

The battery size isn't a great problem just means instead of cheaping out on lipos your have to spend a little more is all. Which in all honesty isn't really a bad thing. I don't have a petrol 1/5th scale nowhere to run one where I live which is why this appeals so much. 

 

If i had a petrol dbxl then I doubt I'd be getting one of these to be honest so I can see why you'd be in 2 minds

Move esc to tray 1, dremmel tray 2, big packs squeeze in, bash time sorted

 

OR, run big ass 6s packs in parallel for max runtime

 

That was part of the problem for me with one of these, the urge to just keep the trigger squeezed in and then slowly come to a halt, much before you're ready to end the day.

The temptation is still there, I'll wait to hear some real world reviews though with regards to what run times people get and how quick they are.

There's so much potential space there to add in bigger trays. On the conversion, trays are a nightmare due to the drive line placement and huge spur gear. If I didn't already have a conversion of the DBXL, I'd seriously contemplate this.

Price is in at Horizon.co.uk £776.99

 Amainhobbies are stating the 15th of May so I'd guess it will hit the uk around the same time in June ?

Aye I saw, but wondered if anyone had had actual word on UK stock or not.

Sub 800quid frankly is very good IMO.

Have to see if I can drop in the spare Leopard LBP58110 520kv motor to improve runtimes.
