That is an UGLY body!!! And the chassis looks a bit cheap, Maybe its not the same material used as the Losi 1/10 Racing Buggies and Trucks? Looks generic, and toy-ish like something I’d find at radio shack. You think the motor is going to see more or less dirt in this mid motor location? But if it turns out to be a quality piece then OK, I wish they would have focused on a better and more solid Layout / Design. We will see…

Excellent looking body. They took their time with a well designed mid mounted motor. You will get better traction this way. Good price. comes with aluminum threaded shocks, 2.4ghz receiver, and a esc that has lipo cut off. you are get a lot of bang for the buck. I am positive that this will be the truck to beat.

I say well done Losi. This is great. You’re obviously chasing the spec class. The slash and SC10 are totally different and can’t even be compared. Yes, you could have made a ‘race’ truck like associated, but you’ve chosed to go the spec class. I think this is great, and you are opening another option to people looking to start the hobby. Well done! A lot of people say it looks like a slash… I think that’s the idea losi had – so it would be accepted into a spec class.
