On what the car is...I don't have a clue except for maybe a new buggy since they don't seem to have one any longer in the 1:10 size. But did you notice on Losi's site that they are going to be making an electric conversion kit for the 8ight

I'll never forget getting behind a 442 on 20"+ wheels and realizing the rear bumoer on that was about 1-2" higher than the front bumper on my XJ with 235/75/r15's

What really cracks me up is several wheel RENTAL places have opened in my town. Can you imagine financing 5K worth of wheels at about 25%??

The trick there is that guys rent the wheels, get the offered insurance...and report the wheels stolen.

Nope, it was a failed attempt to bring something realistic out..... Just another open wheeled 2wd truck with some cool features..... I have one and like it, but, that's comparing apples to oranges......


I just got back from vacation, you couldn't look around w/o seeing some 20" or 22" rims running around...... Seemed to be a bunch of S-10 pickups with them too. Kind of sad when you pass a mobile home park that is falling apart and see a Monte Carlo w/ 22s parked in front of a trailer.

Hopefully its a competitor for the Slash, it would open up the CORR scene even more. Hard to say though at a msrp of $180, STANG KILLA is probably right about the basher/fun rc.

Don't get me started on those donk things and the idiots who drive them. Sad when I see a car that looks like the ones they would blow up on the Fall Guy and A Team rolling down the street on 24" wheels. Oh and have you guys seen the other thing they do now? They put 6"x9" speakers behind their front grill Like its a fkn Mastercraft

Funny how we all end up sounding like our Dad's.

I think it will be a 1/10th 2wd monster truck to compete against the Traxxas Stampede.

Here where me and JAI are in the "Dirty South" we see these cars everyday. 10k+ in wheels and tires, $400 Macco paint job, Advanced Auto everything, Radio Shack 6x9's and tweeters sitting in the rear glass, and smoking so bad it looks like they are fogging for bugs! I tattooed a guy 2 weeks ago that took a 08 Roush Stang and cut the front and rear to fit 28"s on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank God for "Pimp my Ride" and "Unique Auto"......NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is what we see here.......it on 40"s if your wondering......

GOD I HATE DONKS....
How the hell does the owner of that thing expect to stop it more than once with those tiny brakes on there????
Those damn things are one drive axle away from a rednecks wet dream....
makes me wish it were legal to blow someones car up.
