Status: offline 		Hi I just got a losi strike off ebay and it was used. The motor is very weak and barely pulls the truck in reverse. The motor does not look very used and you can tell that the owner had run a different set up. He said that the losi motors were like that from the factory and this one only had about 10 minutes on it. Do you think that is true?
thanks
joe

Status: offline 		It was an impulse buy on ebay for about $80 delivered. No radio but is has the 17mm hub convertion, CVD's, and an extra set of newer wheels. Also there was almost a complete 2nd tranny, I have kids and my buddy has one the same age. We are triing to get them into RC. I though a cheap truck would add more fun. I had an extra radio so it seemed like a good plan.

Status: offline 		I agree with the stock brushed motors being cheap, but I remember having an emaxx with similar motors and it moved pretty good. I posted good feedback because dispite the motor it was a good deal and he included almost a complete tranny that was not in the listing. I got a reedy 3300kv and SC-450BL ESC for the truck for 70 bucks so we will see how she rolls with that between her axels

Status: offline 		You should be fine just make sure you don't drive like a maniac, make sure you have space and no hard things like bricks or metal poles to hit into.

Any car won't like abuse but some more than others.
