Default RE: Losi Desert truck vs Hpi firestorm


ORIGINAL: tashspop

i see the concern on the losi's gears. did they upgrade for the speedT to metal for their brushless setup? if its just an upgrade needed thats already produced then that helps the desert truck seem like a better deal. i'm also thinking about either vehical since i'm thinking about doing a brushless stadium and don't really want a rustler.

No the Speed-T doesn't have a metal gear tranny, but honestly Losi's transmission is pretty good, it'll hold up to brushless just fine. But just so you know the Speed-T has a limited slip differential, which won't do you any good for off-road use, of course all you would have to do is take out the locking rings and then add some 3/32 diff balls to get a regular transmission. But I just though I'd point that out to you. The Desert truck will have a normal transmission.
