Although I am humbled by modest cargos' vast experience, I must disagree. The Losi couldn't have been any easier to set up and tune, lots of parts available, clear instructions, reliable running and easy to use. My friend Gary has an RC10 GT and it also is a fine truck. I personally like the Losi better because of a few differences in minor items. It all boils down to preference. My advice to a potential buyer of nitro rc would be to hang around a track, talk to a reputable hobby shop about quality and parts and also remember that opinions are just that, opinions. Modest Cargo and I probably frequent the same lhs, so he should know that they and others carry a vast array of rc vehicles, all of which have there own good and bad points, depending on the application. Also, if you purchase a certain brand, you're gonna think it's great! Ford, Chevy- Yamaha, Honda- Losi, Associated, it's all good. It'd be the ****s if everybody had the same car as me!!!
