Losi 1/5 DBXL-E 2.0 4WD Brushless Desert Buggy RTR

Coming from Horizon Hobby is the new Losi 1/5 DBXL-E 2.0 4WD Brushless Desert Buggy RTR with Smart technology. The original DBXL-E was a very popular vehicle for large scale bashers and enthusiasts alike. Its agile handling, out of the box speeds and durability make it a fan favourite. Now the DBXL-E 2.0 continues to build on the legendary status. Sharing many design ideas with the popular Losi 5ive-T 2.0 large scale buggy, Losi has built the DBXL-E 2.0 to be cleaner and easier to use, but with performance and speed to tackle any challenge. At home in any environment from dirt to pavement, wet or dry, especially with its 4WD drivetrain with larger 5mm drive pins, the desert buggy makes sure all the power is put to the ground. Drivers stay in control with a DX2E Active transmitter, a Spektrum SR6100AT 6-channel AVC telemetry receiver, and scale-to-size Maxxis Creepy Crawler LT tyres. The buggy features all the technological advances drivers demand including the Spektrum Firma 160A brushless Smart ESC and Spektrum Firma 4-Pole 780Kv brushless motor allowing to hit 80km/h with an 8-cell LiPo battery. Finally, the DBXL-E 2.0 has a Losi and Fox Shox race-inspired motorsports themed livery for that true off-road look.

JConcepts RM2 Clover 1/8th scale wing buttons

Coming from JConcepts’ RM2 brand are the black Clover 1/8th scale wing buttons. In the 1/8th off-road world a securely fastened wing is critical during qualifiers, main events and those all-important long practice sessions. RM2 has a new option available for 1/8th buggy racers that like to do a little more beating and banging on the track. When IFMAR World Champion Ryan Maifield was asked about what detail he is looking for in a wing button, he simply stated, it must be durable, and the flange needs to be large. The JConcepts designers went to work utilising some unique “Clover” styling along with the large flange Ryan asked for. The all-aluminium wing button specifically for the screw-in type wing mounts provide additional stability against landings and hard crashes because the large flange spreads out the force. The machined aluminium design with the stealthy black colour durable outer rim and stylish “Clover” design offers a bit more security over traditional plastic and aluminium wing buttons. The design is lightweight but also durable in the correct areas adding to the benefits to the racer. The attachment area has an already built-in countersunk feature which allows for the cleanest assembly possible.
