Exactly

I've been competing and doing quite well with a stock, out of the box Losi. All I have done is add my electronics, different shock oil, and a few ounces of weight to the wheels. I would like to see any other rig on the market do that well right out of the box.

Just get a Berg and a Zero chassis and you will have a proven comp rig. Having both an axial and a berg, no drive shafts, instant dig, berg is the way to go.

Well said.

Gone are the days of dumping mass amounts of money into a rig so you can get it competitive.

The Losi is sick, I've seen Rubbanecks. If you want to buy a kit, it's the way to go, everything is done right from the start. If you want to choose axles, chassis, links, etc, berg is a good option. For the money, hard to beat the Losi kit.

The Losi 2.2 will most definitely be an addition to my shafty lineup. Look at the time and testing there spending to have a top of the line product when it's released.

berg this berg that sure bergs a kick ass compared to the crawlers on the market at the moment but when the losi comes it will be a a level playing feild and i will get a losi or a berg if i do get the berg which i doubt i will i will put stickers on it that say shavty killer but it probly wont kill the losi, if i get a losi ill put stickers on there that say berg killer witch will be completly true and it will wipe out all of the normal shafites(mabey not the rock force) and will be a take out alot of bergs once you drive the losi for a while you will be a berg killer.


keep rocking
losi
normal shavitey:-(
berg (not saying bergs suck becaue they are awsome to and neck and neck to the losi im just loven the losi and my next comp rig after losi will be a berg or if berg comes first the rig after will be the losi)
