losi 1/36 highroller

[nitrosteve]

what do you guys think of the losi 1/36 highroller. i plan to jump and stuff around the house with it

 

[Hyster]

I would say probably better than the 1/10 version of it.

I personally think that they're too top heavy. For what you say you want to do, I would recommend the micro-t or micro desert truck.

I agree, with hamz especialy the Desert Truck. I have both the T and DT and the DT rawks with jumps, runs, turns and any challange for a truck that size.

thanks and i like the 4wd ones

Read that it comes with a 230 mah 4.8 volt battery but can handle a 7.4 volt. That little thing on 2s would have to be pretty wild.

The only micro 4X4 from Losi is the 1/24 Micro Rock Crawler. All the 1/36 micro trucks are rear wheel drive.

The Micro Desert Truck (Micro D/T) is a lot of fun on the 2s lipo with the stock motor/ESC. The real kicker is the 3s lipo that is offered by aftermarket sources on the brushless.

thanks how much are the lipos that will fit and work with stock gear. also i still can't decide whith one to get.

The 2s lipo and charger from Losi are running about $35.

I can't imagine that there is enough room for a lvc on a 1/36. What's a good rule of thumb for run time? 4-5 minutes?

 

[hamz9561]

10-12 minutes should be good just keep an eye on it and when it starts slowing, charge it. The brushless ESC does have the cutoff built in.
