I agree on this.. ;)

RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
 

A lot of other tires out there will fit but there will be rubbing issues. Over time testing will be done and more info will be out there.

You can get a  sneak peek of the new losi running at the Hostile baja fest this weekend TGN is there taking photos and videos http://photos.tgndistributing.com/Ho...090218_4ML7j5P

RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
 

thank you so much for that post Mark! ;)

RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
 

How much does the Losi weigh?

RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
 

Hmm that's a good question, it's not listed on Losi's site.

RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
 

On one of the videos they said something about weight but did not give an exact weight. I would like to know what the weight is ready to run with out gas.

RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
 

Yeah me too. Though from the videos it seems to manage it's weight well. I have a competition 4x4 FG MT that weighs an absurd amount but it's built to handle it. Based on pictured I doubt it's too heavy, and it looks well distributed, perfect for a 4x4. Gas bajas are much heavier in the rear so the benefit of 4wd is questionable.

RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
 

30lbs

RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
 

In one of the videos all it says is 30 plus pounds. Where did you get your figure?

RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
 

I want one!
anyone with any info of when they will be out for sale?

RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
 

Will not be long now but exactly when I am not sure. I am guessing with in the month. They have 4 or 5 of them this weekend at Hostile Baja Fest. I do think they will be a very good 1/5 scale truck. I would like to seem them make a buggy.

RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
 

About time!  Although I really dislike the short course trucks, I'm sure the aftermarket will have different style bodies (or body sections.  A+ Losi) available within a few months that won't rub when using baja b or t sized tires and/or kits to make it an mt or buggy.  Don't think they or aftermarket companies they're close to didn't already have optional parts in mind when they decided what design to release.  The aftermarket for bajas is too huge for them not to have.

I'd like to see more disassembly pics, especially of the drivetrain.  Mainly the diffs and what it takes to service them.  I absolutely HATE doing a baja diff.  I'm diggin what part of the brake set up I can see and the clutch.

I WILL buy one after the first or second production runs are out and the kinks get found.  If I hadn't just bought another baja a few weeks ago I'd go ahead and be a first run guinea pig. 

A+ to Hostile too for using smugmug as their hosting site.  They are by far the best.

RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
 

they said about 30 in the video

RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
 

Yeah the short course craze is getting a bit out of hand lol.

RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
 

I will have to watch the video again as all I remember was them saying 30 plus.

RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
 

Kent from Killer RC on another forum said he knows a guy that had some dealings with the new Losi and was told it weighed 37 pounds. So to see what Losi says I sent them an email asking what it weights.

RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
 

Diffs gears are metal,but the cases look plastic..this looks like another overpriced made in china 5th scale.
Maby this will get hpi to make a 4wd.

RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
 

Hpi is the same thing.. looks all plastic.. so the same thing can be said..lol...Hpi got lazy and just got beat by a major manufacturer. Hpi then brought out the 5sc which everyone and their mother knows is a baja...no way around it...They knew they had the market so became complacent...insert foot in ass..

RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
 

sounds like the haters have found this thread....

[:-]

RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
 

hpi are so lazy they bought the rampage 4x4 monster truck and called it the maverick . we will get a monster truck gasser from hpi maybe in another 10years lol

RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
 

Actually guys, according to what I have been reading, HPI is gearing up for unveiling their new Baja 4WD as we speak.
Googled the losi a while ago to see whats new, and found a thread from RC car action magazine that made this claim.
Apparently the site is down for the link, but you will see what Im talking about here>
