Love these type of videos, quick clear and straight to the point, no beating strong the bush, making it many times longer than it needs to be, thanks

Your Teardowns are world´s best.

Nice buggy, but as a basher I would take take the Typhon TLR for the higher power system and 7075 aluminum parts.

Your videos are very clean and to the point thank you! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. DX3 is cool

I really appreciate the closer examination of the motors in rtr cars and think you should do it more often because that is a huge indicator of the quality and how long it will last.

More videos like this, with some more budget electronics too

"In with the weakness finder".! 😉 😉 😂 😂 👍 👍

ahhh damnit you beat me to it, my goddamn LHS said they'd have this thing in early last week and it still hasn't shown up yet. i was looking forward to having a teardown and review video up this week! i'm really excited about this one, my first race-style 8 scale, and even better its a LOSI!

I think that chassis material is what the Typhon 6S uses. I scratched it up pretty bad running it on a track, but never bent. Despite me chucking it off the triple till I landed one.

The tear down are my favorite part from thanks man

They are £650 over here in the UK. Corally have several similar RTR cars that are far cheaper. When you can buy a Corally Asuga XLR RTR 6S for £529, I just don't see the market for this Losi.

I always like how you upgrade the electronics in 1 video. I really do like the look of it, esp the body.

Love watching your content it is really on-point and in-depth. Good stuff.

I've been waiting for this one! Thanks for the review, I've been waiting to see how the Losi 8IGHT-XE holds up to bashing. Looks like it handles very well and jumps very well. Durability can always be improved, but good handling is often limited to the platform. Definitely a huge con that the motor and ESC are soldered together, cutting them voids the 2 year warranty.

Awesome video as always.. That ramp you have out bashing sure has a really short and sharply rising ramp... I was wondering that must place some stress on the chassis as its almost like hitting a wall at those high speeds.. Looks like a fantastic buggy..

I wasn't stoked on the bashing at first I was thinking "this ain't bashing" lol but it got better after hitting the ramps, now get it out there & bash it on dirt, concrete & see how it holds up? "Insert a rich duperbash or rcdude81 vid here!" I would say it's more of a race buggy than bash where the TLR Typhon is more bash than race,but anything can be bashed! Anyway really good break down & explanation of everything & great vid,will definitely be watching to see what more you do with it!🤙🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸

Straight to the point, love your video

Great video and I think it’s a great buggy for track or some bashing by the looks of it. I’m awaiting mine. I preordered it and it should be here next week on Wednesday! I plan to run mine on our outdoor track and the backyard for a bit of jumping. I don’t bash hard. And always liked Losi buggies they handle and drive great.

Holy hubba bubba! That was Awesome ❤💯🤸‍♂️👍

Looks great 👍 hope LOSI releases a nitro version to 😀 great going through 🙂

That's a nice looking RTR buggy. I didn't know "Spektrum" offered a sensored electronics package.

It will probably do 50 mph on asphalt or smooth dirt as grass robs lots of speed. It is an offroad buggy so top speed on aspalt doesn't matter anyway. Definitely one of the nicest RTR buggies.

Great Great review I just ordered one for getting started in RC Racing!! This seemed like the best value to get started! Amin threw in a t-shirt when I ordered lol. I love that it comes with the dx3. As I'm just starting out I'm probably going to need that! Do you shoot in 4k your videos come across really clear!👍

Hobao Vs or Vs2 would be interesting up against this. We have Vs pro in uk aswell with mostly all 7075 parts.

_This is indeed the bare minimum for someone who might think they want to get into racing! For its intended purpose, I think Losi knocked it out the park with this RTR!_

Maxx Slash body is pretty tough! I like it when they make the bodies rugged. Because after all, that’s why I have the people buy RC cars they like the body. I’m trying to flood your stream to get some ratings up. I hope I hope you get more subs. This is a good channel.

I sometimes just drive and do jumps/flips etc without wings as they occasionally imo have increased the dage to car when crashes occur. Not always but occasionally imo. That also depends on the surface you land on. Do tghe wings even increase the downforce on vehicle when driving under 60 mph? I have my doubts, but idk. They do look cool tho. I always enjoy your content and have benefited from your advice repeatedly. TY kindly for that. I recommend to consider possibly buying a strong magnet or perhaps a metal detector to sweep your lawn with, to find missing parts (dogbones/pins etc) It has paid for itself tenfold for me. Great video. Happy trails.

I went to hit the like button like 3 times , thats how good ur vids are

Do the motor wires plug into that esc or are they hard soldered? if plugged are they 4mm bullets?

I’m going to get this today, my yard tracks so treacherous though , and the Arrmas really are better , I can beat em up over and over , rain mud ect , than I have rcs I spend time even Arrmas I just keep away from dirt or wait for nice weather and time to groom a track or go to the park . You have to see the Arrmas I run daily to understand lol , but I forget how many hours I actually do have on the TLR typhon before it got past point no return , needs rear diff all hinge pin braces could be arms too axle pins everything 😂, I figure I wait for them to go on sale and I just keep it going , even the kuran motor I have to change the bearings or get couple new ones . Far as longevity and performance I’d probably been better off with Losi , but it’s time consuming and expensive while Arrmas cheap bigger “ and easy to work on . They’re all awesome 👏

I would definitely get one for bashing and for racing. Like you’re closing statement.

I really like this channel. I think it's the best technical videos out here. You never waste our time. Thank you. As far as the buggy, i don't think there is a way to race anywhere remotely around me. I have lots of bash spots though. I'd go TLR Typhon. What i really want is a big 1/5 Typhon or whatever brand will build me a giant electric buggy.

42 mph stock is pretty respectable off road speed 👍

Excellent vid👌

_I could tell immediately that the 6S battery is just too freakin' heavy for this chassis!_ _(6S Battery is reserved for at minimum Asuga size buggies!)_

I hope there are more buggies like this

How does this compare to a Kyosho Mp-10e ready set (rtr)? Not really looking to bash just looking to throw down some laps at my local track. Nothing competitive

I'm going to get this to do local racing with my buddies here in Barbados

I often wonder the saving on casting the knuckles etc, instead of making it cheaper through volume. How much do those downgrades save Losi over providing higher spec items?

any plans on checking out traxxas "budget" bl-2s offerings?

How did that 6s ESC fit in there? How did the 6s battery fit in there? My friend is having me convert his to 6s. He tried to have someone else do it and they did a hack job. They used his Talion 6s motor and ESC and the ESC is too big and hits the body and the servo arm is hitting the ESC. I tried to talk him out of making it a 6s car but that’s what he wants to do. What battery were you using exactly? Thanks.

At the end of the day losi is at it again awesome review

Seen some green straight lines on video, what happened during bash?

What is your opinion of this when comparing the Arrma Typhon TLR tuned? Both are the same price.

That baterry tray offers legit 0 support to lipos. Its more likely to damage the cells in frontal impacts

I guess that's a really good buggy, and if i was interested in racing I would definitely consider buying one, but I'm more of a basher, and I don't really trust buggies for bashing, so I would probably take smth like am Arrma kraton 6s for bashing, or Team Corally Cagama

Awesome vid man she's a beast and it looks great can't wait to see it on 6s

what screw driver and bit you using?

The ESC looks big like the 6s spectrum system .

Dog bones??? That's weird should be cvd's, guess there's gonna be some cost cuts compared to a tlr rig. Not bad for an rtr though.

I want to get the best electric grass basher, any ideas?

Cool looking buggy but can you get parts for it losi is now owned by horizon hobby which has not been supporting their losi line for at least a year Anybody's got information about that that would be great

Are u in ocala?

I've bashed the crap out of (and rebuilt repeatedly) my Tenacity TT Pro.........thinking this might be my next hot rod/shelf queen. If anyone can think of a reason I should consider another car, please share your opinion. This would be my second RC, only in the hobby for a year or so.

This will go well with my Tlr typhon, exb talion and 6s typhon. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤘🏻

How competitive would it be in racing?

Where is the blistering fast nitro motor?

metal detector your back lawn...

This vs Syncro 4 ?

It seems too me that the arrma tlr is still a better value. The real question are these parts going to go on the tlr. Yet sorry to say hobao has everyone beat in the buggy game, though if corally drops a full track version. I am very sure it would put some in its place. If you have seen one tekno win a race you have seen them all. Hmmmmm let's see what 1/8th scale buggy shall join the team

Hobao VS2E is better price wise , durability wise and you can race and bash it … superb buggy 👍

Invest in a Metal detector. Find all your missing parts

Kyosho Inferno Neo

Its a racecar...... test it on a racetrack

When will losi fking learn to stop having clam shells separate at dif input bearings, always issues with those. Gives me baja rey v1 relase ptsd with front bulkhead. They couldnt do it right for front bulkhead which had less load than rear and now they do it again for rear and high power vehicle, hell nah Even in ideal world where the clam shells are designed and manufactured perfectly this will fail, you overtighten one screw a bit and leave other too lose, its pita to shim and it always needs shims. Deal breaker for this car

I agree if the cast aluminum it seems to have sheer points at every corner. Good vid bro.👍🏼🫵🏼. How many RC cars do you have? 🤔

Meglio hobao racing VS2E

The HoBao Hyper VS2-E race buggy has higher build quality than the losi , despite the fact that the losi has a sensored motor and ESC combo , and the losi is more expensive than the VS2 . Personally i think the losi is overpriced poor value for money . For a RTR 8TH scale buggy , no other RTR buggy out there has the quality of the HoBao Hyper VS2 . Reminds of RC traxxas , also overpriced poor value for money but popular in the US RC market , but here in the UK TRAXXAS ranks near the bottom of RC tier market , because we in the UK have way better quality value RC'S than traxxas .

I’m not exactly new to RC. But what does the timing do? Is it like punch or throttle response? I guess don’t know.😞🛻

Tlr will never b king they suck 2 many problems
