losi crawler

[slowngreen]

heck ya man, thats what i would want one for is the indoors when u can't go out to crawl but i dont know if i want a losi mini or a XTM super, the supers are only 400 bucks!!! wich i find to be very reasonable for a super. but i dont want my 2.2 to feel left out lol.

Don't forget that you'll have to add electronics to that super, and probably want to upgrade the wheels and tires. The losi is COMPLETE, just take it out of the box, put batteries in and go. You're going to have at least $700 in that super when you add electronics and such.

yeah but still a good deal on a super...but i prolly would lean towards the losi for convenient reasons.

Yeah it's a great deal on the super I think, and I plan to get one soon. I have decided to get the Losi first though since I'll actually be using it. The super is going to mostly be a shelf ornament I think. I may even get two of the Losi's. I want to get one and leave it absolutely bone stock, and have it for convenience. I plan to get another one and modify the hell out of it. The whole point of me getting this crawler is to have something fun and easy, that I can play with in the house, put it up, and take it back out when I'm ready for it again. If I start modifying it, it will have downtime as I'm building it and ordering parts, so the first one will be left stock so I always have something to run. Crawling is a HUGE form of rest and relaxation for me, and it's so hot outside in Louisiana this summer, that it's a hassle just to go out in the backyard and crawl. So with this I can spend a few minutes playing around even when I only have 30 minutes to fool with it.

I've talked to some people that are running them, and they're getting more than an hour of runtime out of the stock 1100 mah battery. It will use the same battery as the mini-t, so I will be getting a LiPo pack for it pretty soon just for the extended runtimes and consistent performance.

As soon as my local Hobbytown gets one, I will give it a fondle.

If it passes my inspection, I will add it to the stable as soon as I sell the Tamiya Rockbuster kit I have.

I was suprised that it's been getting such rave reviews from some of the top crawlers in thr country who have been testing them hard. Also, Losi already has the full line of replacement parts available for sale, which sometimes isn't available for a little while with a completely brand new rig like that.

Ok so what does eveyrbody think? I am considering this and the axial. I am running fist sized rocks to rocks as big around as my waist (I wear 32-30 pants) Which would be better suited for my craling? Also I will be crawling on some that are all bigger than my waiste and they are all like that (on a different pile). What do you think? Of both.

well the losi will be awsome in my opinion for when u can't go out to your crawling spot so u just stay inside and crawl, bieng so small it will be easy to have fun with it in a very small area/course. the axial is awesome, but alittle big for too much fun in the house without makeing a big mess trying to have a nice course lol. i bet everyone here who has an axial will agree that they are bad ass fun.
