lol.

Ha thats pretty funny rbgerrish. So I just finished reading through this thread. And while I think the truck has a ton of potential, fear of support, and durability for this truck should be justified. Anyone having owned a LCC and MRC should know this. Like many on here I'm not afraid to mod, change, fabricate, etc.. But, I am afraid of spending $400 on a toy that will not have any useable parts or pieces due to weakness or product support. I would rather not spend $400 on a DX3. Sooooo.......as much as I want to preorder I will wait till I hear the reports of the actual rig.

While I agree with you to a certain extent and likely will wait until its been out for a while to hear about weak spots, upgrades, etc. I do think Losi has made some very durable rc's that required little to no upgrades. I had a Losi SCB a while back and did some very minimal upgrades to it and it took a ton of abuse without any complaint. Where the problems are going to happen is when people upgrade to some insanely torquey brushless system. I would say stock, it'll probably be pretty durable.

Assuming this rig takes off in popularity, there'll be aftermarket support for it pretty quick. VP already mentioned parts for it.

First one on ebay I think, or the first I've seen anyway. Just thought I add to the thread.

This model looks great, there is a lot I really like about it, I think I will be patient and watch what others say about its performance and potential weak points, what I'm really hoping for is axial has something like this soon to be released though.

Ordered mine today, time will tell if it was a waste of time and money,
