I saw pictures of assemby threads on a couple forums now. Its wierd, the chassis is wider on the right side. Gorgeous looking buggy. I am soooo tempted to max the credit card for one.

How about a Ninja?

I am loving mine more every time I run it. I have just a about a gallon on it and it is really starting to wake-up and rip.

Wow! Look how close to center(F vs. R) that engine is mounted. Nice....

I was think about the engine location too, I wonder if this is going to cause issues with certain starter boxes?

I suppose that's a possibility. I would imagine that they designed that with user friendliness in mind. If not... :thumbdown:

Isn't going to able to sit centrally on most boxes I wouldn't have thought.

Actually I think I've just put myself of buying one, I will be buying a new car for next year. Probably another Mugen, maybe an Xray but until I see a Losi being started on a normal Mugen or similar box they are out of the window.

I mean why would I want to drop more cash on another starter box, when theres nothing wrong with my £85 (yes UK pounds!) mugen one?

 

[kx250ryder]

From what I have read elsewhere, the Losi works fine on the Mugen box, but requires modification to the chassis opening to use the ultra popular OFNA 10250/10253.

 

[jon2]

I imagine they are going to release a box designed to fit the chassis specifically. I would keep my eyes out for that as well as manufacturers to create a starter plate to adapt to certain boxes.

Just saw thread showing two sites that have the buggy for 500 (already down 100 within a week!!):
Atomic Hobbies
rchobbies.net

Geez, if they go any cheaper they are going to make the Hyper 8 seem expensive. Not that I would complain about that.

[Lessen]

Man, Losi sure did rewrite the book on the buggy there. Nice pics Skela :thumbup:

 

[Ryan with savage]

Saw 2 of these on track today, admittedly they were being driven by sponsored drivers but they were very impressive, handled great, looked a bit odd though having the engine poking out of the middle.....

 

[Lessen]

The more pics of it I see the more impressed I am... just a really cool design. I bet these will be winning a lot of races
