Losi Night Crawler

[h8z2luze]

So is it just me or is it priced a little high? I'm guessing people are going to think its like the comp crawler and it is NOT even close. Personally I would get the RTC before the rtr losi simply because if your buying a rtr your not going to comp anyway. Might as well spend 260 insterad of 340....

Anyway here it is. All plastic and everything...

And the Axial RTC...

I mean the losi does have some highlights like the steering, worm gears and spectrum radio. But still its just another rtr crawler that people are going to have to upgrade a lot to do anything decent.


Dont get me wrong I love losi I own the LCC but I just think they could have done a better job with the rtr version or priced it a little lower.

But it has those cool fancy lights so you can crawl at night, LOL!!!!!

Although cheezy, you wont be glitching horribly with the losi since you get the spektrum.

I agree on the price.

Losi should have made it be under the $300 mark even with the Spektrum.

I am still getting my son one for Xmas. I can put some of the parts from my Losi on to his like the aluminum steering rods and such that I won't be using. I will also immediately pull the tires/wheels and sell them before he runs it. I should easily get around $30-$35 for them on ebay.

 

[h8z2luze]

Thats true. What wheels will you run on his?

 

[robmob]

Probably the set of claws on proline rims that I originally had on my Warthog.

 

[h8z2luze]

oh cool deal.

Well my sons Night Crawler showed up on Saturday from Ultimate Hobbies and is currently in hiding until Xmas.

It's at the top of his Xmas list so he will be excited to get it.

 

[h8z2luze]

Good to hear! I hear they actually do really well out of the box.

A vendor over at RCShortCourseTalk is selling one at a killer price for anybody that is interested.

Wow that is a killer price!

 

[robmob]

After adding shipping it's probably about $20-$25 less than the total I paid for my sons which I thought was a great price.

I hate it when that happens.

Ya it always happens to me when I spent like 600 on the stuff for my losi someone on here was selling a rtr berg for 400 I was pissed lol. I dont remember who it was...
