I didnt see a date either. Might have to ask the guys at my LHS. Only complaint is $400? I mean im sure it might drop to $350 or even $300 but $400 for a 1/10th nitro ST is a bit much. That's just IMO

Well the Jato is going for 350-400 average, so I'm guessing thats why the NT is going for around the same price......... Don't get me wrong I do hope the price drops, but I def. will be picking one up one it comes out.........

Lets see, for the extra price you get a 2.4ghz radio and digital servos. I would pay an extra $100 for that.

Holy smokes. Here I am thinking I have the king of speed with my Jato 3.3. I mean it has not been de throwned yet but I think I found my next ST. This thing looks sweet. Hopefully the tranny will hold up better on this one also. Man I really wanted a Monster Truck as my next RC and then Losi comes out with this. Hmm. What to do, what to do.

Mainly im thinking about the chassis. As for the 2.4ghz radio even tower hobbies has one of those they are selling. My point is not being about the servos or radio (which are still good), the main goods are in the design. The Jato was just different and has a great lay out.
My guess is I'll be able to find it for $379.99. Im not saying it isnt worth the MSRP of 599.99, just to compete with the market it will need to come down in price a bit.

Its cool seeing losi come out with something nitro that isnt 1/8th. Knowing how the market is for brushless Lipo everything, no one is really making anything NEW that is 1/10 nitro.

yup exactly, it could be good handling truck considering losi's back ground. 400.00 for it is not bad at all ... someone said that 400 for a 1.10th nitro st is high ... LOLOL i got like 2 grand in my gt2!! but beware of the guy lurking around the corner with a BL/lipo powered truck thats gonna blow the nitro in the weeds!!! ... lol i do it all the time with my t4 ... my son has my old jato and he hates it when i break out the t4 on him !!! hahaa

when i was watching the video, i noticed something cool. it looked like it had all the same power as the jato, but more controlled. it looked less like a point and shoot type of car.

Idk still seems odd for a 1/10 ST @ $400 when $450 is a 1/8 MT. Sheesh 2 Grand in a GT2? 2k is a like a T10 turbo kit for my real car [&:]

Think i had 1k in my Losi before i sold it[:@]

I would pay for it. Heck I paid about 400 for th Jato with taxes and dropped about another 600 into it.

looks to me like they took the XXX-NT and hopped it up... explains why the AD2 got discontinued... chassis layout looks the same tho, but I bet the tranny and drivetrain are all better also... Jato has some serious competition now

For me its still a toss up between gwtting a new 1/8 MT or this new Losi. The more I look at though the more I like it. Man I'm confused.

That is with 1/8 buggies and truggies. 1/8 MTs are really nothing special.
