That is Andrew Zeigler, he works in our marketing dept. That video is meant for the Horizon Hobby site that caters to dealers and consumers of all products that Horizon stocks. I thought Andy did a great job.

that was a cool little vid, I thought it was kinda funny he asked if you had to glue the tires:)

I really like the fact that the controller is going to have the short antenna, cause I only have 1 eye left from a
previous antenna accident. Just kidding!!! Are their any measurements on this thing yet?

As Rich said, that Preview video is intended for HorizonHobby.com, but we also post videos like that on our YouTube page, HorizonHobbydotCom. Because of my location, that video was filmed here in Champaign, not California. I knew when preparing for that preview video that Rich has a great rep in the Crawler community, one he deserves. Since I couldn't get him in this video, we also did a separate piece just with Rich on the Mini-Rock Crawler and crawling in general. If anyone's interested, I'll post the link below.

Andy know his stuff when it comes to Losi and you will be seeing more and more if him in the future, along with guys like Sonny Brown and Lee Morrison. Do I wish I were in Cali to shoot sometimes? Absolutely. But we have great people right here too.

Just so you know....the wheels aren't beadlocks. They are made to resemble beadlocks. The tires are preglued to the wheels.

I believe that might be the one of the little buggers I had in my hands a few weeks ago. I cant wait to get my hands on a real one. Just wish it had been out in time for our local comp.

They are not true beadlocks. The tires are glued to the center portion of the wheel and the rings can be replaced.

i stand corrected, any plans for true beadlocks?

also would the 1.9 rock claws be compatible with the other 1.9 wheels on the market that are true beadlocks?

There are plans for "real" beadlocks, but no date, price or time when this will happen.

The 1.9 claws will work with any 1.9 wheel or beadlock.

OK, OK, it looks great now hurry up and ship them :-P

We need two so my son and I can put our trash talking to rest. Having two indentical crawlers will be cool to "compare" our driving skill :)

I was impressed with the video. It's nice to see how Losi has put everything together in one package and designed parts specifically for crawling, like the esc with extra drag brake, hi torque servo, and spektrum controls. The 2.2 market seems pretty flooded and I used to love my 1/18th nylints cause it was easier to find crawling spots for them. The more I think about it the more I can't wait for them to get released!

Definately going to be a big deal once these come out and the aftermarket is going to have a field day! IMO

Thanks Losi"thumbsup"
