Thats funny because i own one and think its a pretty solid platform,also own a baja,and would take the losi hands down,and havent really heard anyone else complain about them.

Status: online 		400$ lost on a used truck? Not bad. Considering most don't get half of what they paid new....not bad at all...

I would have kept it and drove it untill spring....but like I said...strike when the pan is still hot....good to here you got most of what you paid....

And Yes... I don't own either...but from what I have seen....NO WAY would I choose a Baja, over the Losi,.... Welll unless it was this Electric baja..and lived in the desert ...!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ohR3gqdYsw&feature=player_embedded#!

I Love the Power Electric put out...but hate the battery thing.... Noise can be good and bad...so a toss up..

I mean it powered through great but definitely needs shielding to keep snow from building up on chassis after running for about 5 minute you could even see the engine lol..... Might be something for the aftermarket world to look into building shields to keep all debris out of chassis. Just leave windows open for ventilation and shield everything under the body.

Thanks for the info. That's good to know. Guess I'll save up for a tuned pipe then.

If someone would come up with a cheap conversion for the use of the RCMK twins to install them in the losi....now that would be great....
680$ for the twins and 200$ for a conversion....nice...

The oniel one includes everything though..(motors mounts, and cluth (I think)...And is around 1,800.
Either way....these larger trucks would beni... from a drop in 50-60cc engine....single...

Here is the RCMK twin. 60cc this is the updated one..
