Absolutely the way you should run this truck. I have a Mojave EXB and I was making the mistake to try backflips with it. Nope, it didn't go well. But now I just do long distance and not high jumps, which it can do. And I mostly run it without jumping it. It's so much fun! This bigger truck is a beast. I've seen it at a LHS.

Ive got just about every Losi model (and several others) but my go to electric is the Super Rock Rey. I have 3 of them. I also have a mint (literally never even been turned on) SBR V1. My favorite Losi is the 5ive T and i havent had to worry about how much battery i have left with that other than in my transmitter.

Yeah! it is really fun. surprisingly the most expensive 1/5 scale cars are not normally that fast. I am in for rally cars and converted a short course track into a rally car 1/7 and that is what I am going to test tomorrow in a place similar to yours. thanks for the video.

Don’t waste your money on one of these UNLESS you have access to a good dirt area to run them. I loved mine. But I was running mine at a construction site. It got finished and I couldn’t find another. So only grass and pavement for me after that and yeah no fun at all

@midwestern_rc6 ай бұрын
I’ve sold mine since this video as I’d mainly run it at construction sites but I have no good place to run it anymore. Grass and road is boring with them and they roll a lot on those two things. If I had a place with dirt tho I’d still own it they’re so much fun.
@DrJT-ly3vr Жыл бұрын
You need the second set of shock pistons without springs in the rear. Otherwise it's going to keep dragging its butt around, which is completely uncharacteristic of any real trophy truck. Lots of us are doing it now and it makes all the difference in the world. Drives better. Looks better. No more traction rolls. No donkey kicking and it brings out the true inspiration of this design.

I have yet to take mine on dirt. I’ve been upgrading it for almost a year. Over a grand in vitavon. Waiting on front and rear splinded shafts from exocaged. I mainly run 6s. Power plant stock is pretty good plenty of power. Would be cool to go sensored but really don’t need it.
@billreynolds22217 ай бұрын
I typically get 45-50 minutes of run time with mine on 6s. That's running on short grass. I don't think I've ever "floored" it because I run it in my yard which is .9 acres. It can get from one corner to the other in the blink of an eye and besides it digs a small trench in my grass which ain't happening. Oh, and I usually run it on 50%.

I have this truck (blue version) and the UDR. I like the size and scale of the UDR better. Sometimes these r/cs can be a little too big and costly. Lodi missed the mark on detail too. Don’t get me wrong but sit it side by side with the UDR and you’ll see the difference. Traxxas managed to create more running time realism. Just my opinion. I expected a little more from this Losi truck but it fell a little short for me.

Very nice video!!! I like a lot this RC and am was thinking to buy (instead that I have the similar rc arrma mojave v2) !!! But of the other side am afraid to buy course of the body!!!! Instead that it is good rc and strong the body it is lit a bit fragility, resulting in you not being able to play it As You Want so too not fallen down and to make it a damage or crack!!! Really difficult decision 🙂
