Team Losi 1/18 Dodge Raminator
 

Looks like another version of the mlst....


Official Press Release:

Styled and detailed after the unstoppable full-scale competitor, the Losi 1/18 Raminator is built, painted and detailed to look just like the real thing. The licensed truck even includes scale two-tone wheels and monster truck tires that enhance the realistic look, giving you the chance to drive your own monster truck anytime you want.

And to make sure that the 1/18 Raminator is as powerful and durable as a monster truck should be, it’s built on Losi’s proven, rock-solid mini 4WD chassis and drivetrain. The durable dual-deck aluminum chassis and wide-track suspension make the Raminator incredibly stable, while oil-filled composite shocks at all four corners help smooth out the rough stuff. Power comes from a high-torque Frenzy motor, which can even be upgraded to a dual motor setup for even more torque on tap. Complete ball bearings ensure smooth operation, and twin steering servos make for razor-sharp handling.

Combined with the included synthesized radio system, battery pack and charger, the 1/18 Raminator is an incredible-looking and powerful mini monster truck that’s completely ready to run. Charge up, install the included AA batteries in the transmitter and get ready to crush the neighborhood.

Yep. I'm not sure the reasoning behind releasing this one!

RE: Team Losi 1/18 Dodge Raminator
 

looks defenatly better than the other mlst's

RE: Team Losi 1/18 Dodge Raminator
 

It's not. It only comes with 1 motor, a synthesized radio instead of the DSM system, planetary gear diffs, etc.

RE: Team Losi 1/18 Dodge Raminator
 

My best guess is that they were thinking the same thing when they released the Aftershock. Produce a cheaper version of a popular truck to access more of the market. Since all the major R&D is already completed, production costs will be lower. So now they will have three tiers of quality: Top tier - mlst2, 2nd tier - mlst1, 3rd tier - raminator. All that makes sense...

Although I think I understand Losi's reasoning behind this release, I don't think it will pay-off like losi expects. I think they are canibalizing their own market share with this truck.

Looks nice, to bad it is $174.99.....................

RE: Team Losi 1/18 Dodge Raminator
 

They reasoning, as I've said before, is that the brains in the operation are gone, only the corporate marketing people are left, and they are bleeding the name dry

RE: Team Losi 1/18 Dodge Raminator
 

It's not $174.99!

RE: Team Losi 1/18 Dodge Raminator
 

Its got an open slot for a second motor. This is a tough looking little truck!

RE: Team Losi 1/18 Dodge Raminator
 

That is what it says on the Horizon Hobby website.

Losi brings the power and excitement of full-size monster truck action anywhere you want it with the 1/18-scale Dodge Raminator Monster Truck.

RE: Team Losi 1/18 Dodge Raminator
 

LMAO

Then PM it to me........................................

RE: Team Losi 1/18 Dodge Raminator
 

Just log in, it's pretty easy.

I can't wait for the Mega Raminator! Or maybe, the Mega T, or Micro LST. Pretty much scal up or down aany losi product, then stick any available bodyu on it and call them all something different, without every rasing the quality or innovating anything new and you have Losi of today, It's a shame.

RE: Team Losi 1/18 Dodge Raminator
 

I want someone to come out with a 1/10 scale electric monster truck with the battery in the middle and with only 4 shocks!

RE: Team Losi 1/18 Dodge Raminator
 

Wouldn't that be a Wheely King?

RE: Team Losi 1/18 Dodge Raminator
 

Hmm.....

First Mini LST.... Then Mini LST2.... then Mega Baja or whatever it's called (MLST2 with Baja body).... now a scaled down version. How is this any better then a regular mini lst that you can pick up for $100 hopped up lol.

RE: Team Losi 1/18 Dodge Raminator
 

looks cool to me and its would not talke a lot of money to put it up to the other minilst standards same truck just cheaper and it looks cool to:D They are doing something smart

RE: Team Losi 1/18 Dodge Raminator
 

Yuck...ugliest I have seen yet.

RE: Team Losi 1/18 Dodge Raminator
 

I'd love to see a micro-LST!
