It doesn't make much sense to judge and entire line of cars by just one. The Mini T was a cheap, shrunken copy of a race bred truck. The 10th scale XXX-T is nothing to scoff at. Losi was once a great race company. Now, they're merely a brand name for Horizon to market. That's ok, most of the race cars are all still good designs,and they're still being produced. It's only recently that I'd say some of their new products are not up to par. I had lots of problems with the electronics, and they do look like cheap, rebaged imports from who knows where. To me that doesn't make everything Losi suddenly junk. It makes that specific line of products questionable.
