AE has nothing on losi. If AE comes out with an 1/18 buggy it will probably be a losi wannabe .

dude how can you say that! ae has awsome rides look at the rc10gt it hasent changed in over a decade and it will still beat losi cars. dont take this the wrong way i like losi rides as well but when ae does release their buggy probley this spring im positive its gonna be a good ride and it will run with the eight ae wont have it any other way. i do know they have a proto type richerd saxton raced at our track back in june and he had it in a suit case in his truck but couldnt show anybody but he did say its going very well.

I'm a HUGE fan of both companies but I bet you wil have better times with the AD2, they have Tebo. TEBO!! He's a BEAST and a half.

The losi will still beat that AE car. Also in my opinion if a company doesn't come out with a new model in that long it shows they aren't trying hard enough to go faster.

its all DRIVER!!! Drake could push a evader to the podium if you gave him the equipment. Then u guys would say duratrash is so good!

When cavalieri ran losi, it was always losi on top. The day he switched, it was HIM on top with associated.

Ryan Maifield did say Associated will be producing an 1/8th scale buggy. It will NOT be under the TTR nomiker, it will be fully produced in the US just like the 8ight.

They are working on a 1/8th scale buggy for quite some time. But who knows when it will be released.

They only thing the GT2 resembles the Losi is a double stack chassis. But if you had them next to each other, even thought they are double, they are not the same. Noting else resembles a Losi. Just because it has a RX box (which is designed from the TC3) and a battery box doesn't mean they copied Losi. Even Dura-Trax has a battery box!

I would take my GT over an AD2 any day! I race with Sponsored Losi drivers and have driven all them. They are not for me so no one can say if I drove a Losi, any one else for that matter, would be faster with a Losi. BUT THAT IS FOR MY STYLE!!
People need to stop being so close minded and think just because they drive it, it’s the best!

It would be awesome if AE came out with a 1/8th, Im surprised that haven't already. AE and Losi have always been at each others throats in the electric scene. My RC10T4 is one of the smoothest handling cars I've driven. And as far as I am concerned, AE and Losi cars seem to always have differences. Although I have to admit AE does fall short in some areas.

I would like to see a pro race. In the pro ranks I would think TQing every round and winning by over a lap would say something about the buggy. Unless maybe everyone else in pro buggy drives that much slower? I do have the movie "doin it in the dirt" and honestly I wasn't to impressed with most of the drivers.

i reckon both those buggys will be quite good competiters and it will be a hard one to decide i reckon it will all come down to how good the driver is
