Default My losi 1.9

Well this is my first crawler and just got in this past week. After looking for a few months I finally decided on the losi. This will be used mostly in the house when I cannot run the drifter so figured this guy was the right size, starting point and price.

I wanted to see how well it did on some rocks so I went looking. Boy did I find some, the jetties here in Charleston, SC. lol. These rocks were a little big 5-6 ft high (each boulder was close to 3ft) with some large gaps. I was very pleased to see how well it did. It wasn't stock when I bought it so it has the flat irons, a full size servo and weights on the front. I can't wait till I get more funds for the mixer chassis and some other upgrades. I think I might get some thinner shock oil for it also.

Looks like a good start, love those last two pictures.

Definitely gonna wanna get a new chassis and shocks, makes a huge difference, but you probably already knew that

Thanks. I was already looking at the mixer chassis that came out, want to get bent lower links and different shocks. Drifter is going to get the graphite treatment first than will upgrade this guy.

Welcome to 1.9 crawling. When you get around to some more aftermarket parts you will really see how capable these rigs can be

I can only imagine. I have seen some of the videos on here of the 1.9 with mods and wow. It surprised me already, and I was thinking about getting a 2.2 but with most of it just being around the house I was going to stick with this guy for a bit. Looks like the HH torque master is a popular motor for this. Is there any other options for motors or maybe a brushless system?

Its great. get some sun, go surfing, and after all that spend some time crawling. lol. Can't wait for the upgrades, wish I had my star to enter the chassis give away from darksoul. I was reading over the TX/RX section to see about a 3ch radio. Looks like DNA is going to have a front dig for the mrc. Can't wait.
