grave digger is back babay!!! I'm stoked gotta get one, the upgraded system seems cool, i can't wait!!!!!

after looking at the specs, its a digger MEGA truck, the wheelbase wont let it run in any of the lmt spec classes.-- you will need to check the spec rules for your racetrack if racing this--so i will still need the old digger for my stable, but I'm talkin to a guy abut one, seems to be a good deal potentially.

not in retro (too wide), not allowed in sport mod(wheelbase, too wide,
it can run in mega class, ticks all the boxes, it can run in open class

Cool design for the cam lock body mount. But why the hell would they add that and still leave two screws in the front? Kinda strange. But looks really cool. Time will tell if it's worth the heavier price tag. I thought the old one was overpriced.

And yay! They finally fixed that stupid axle design!

When I was hearing things through the grapevine about it coming with a wheelie-assist system, my first thoughts were "oh...lame"

And then I saw that video above with it in bicycle mode.... that is FREAKIN COOL

Worth $750? oof...idk

yeah that basically 800 to get it here is pretty daunting, that pay wall for the hobby is hitting me rough, I'm supposed to be saving for beat the creek lol

Fully agree.

These companies could at least embrace the aluminum shortage and start using carbon chassis material to justify their random $100 price increases on version 2.0 products.

They are talking about how much this truck is being used in racing. Has it not dawned on Losi that they need a kit version? Hello? I could care less about the cool trick stuff. I know my kid would love it though. But they need to make a damn kit version, and I would be all over that Son Uva Digger.

Some good changes to the original for sure.

I'd love that I am finally ready to start a kit but I want it to be an LMT. But I also want the aftermarket chassis kits
So I kinda need both so I can go from there $$$$$$$$

I guess this explains proline releasing a new set of 2.6 monster tires.

set the driving aids on fire and shove them where the sun don't shine.

but hey, at least they fixed the inner wheel bead size.

between the price and aids no thank you.

Why not the aids? It seems like it's just for freestyle stuff I don't know till I get one lol

 

[johnnydmd]

Wow, these look great!

 

[Doom!]

Looks like some nice upgrades. It looks like a fun rig,

i file them under stupid gimmicks. don't need them. won't use them. not amused by them. not willing to pay for them.
for example: driving on 2 wheels is something iv messed around with for decades with various degrees of success. with no aids its fun to try and rewarding when you can pull it off, even if it's only for about 8-10 feet. with an aid its pointless, no skill required the truck does the work for you. that sucks the fun out of it. don't need/want that participation trophy in my life.

I'm going to disagree on this one. The aids aren't fool proof, and will still require a bit of skill to master. Stringing some of these skills together to make new tricks could be quite fun. Not every style of rig is for everybody. I always thought four wheel steering was gimmiky until I got one. Actually pretty cool.

i like scale solid axle monster trucks. so this truck is for me. that said, I'm not amused when the real trucks do that kind of stuff. then again i come from the leaf spring, steel body, car crushing days, so...

how would 4 wheel steering be gimmicky? the full size trucks have had it sense the early 80's. it keeps it authentic.

I dig this a lot more than most RC releases. And the price isn't nuts if they prove to be durable. The OG LMT was released five years ago. Cost of everything has went up since then. Can probably snag one on Black Friday for $599 or so.

I am so excited for this release - I have been checking every day for the last while for the 2.0 announcement. Will have to pick one up for once everything dries up around here!
