FIRST DRIVE! Losi Tenacity DB Pro v2 (Unboxing, Tested, Review)
This is a buggy that has always had my eye. It looks soo good - and I hear good things about it from others. It was finally my time to get one.

In this video, I do a quick unboxing, go through some of the features of this buggy, and then take it out for a full test - it even includes an impromptu soccer game with my kids! :)

I’m excited for you brother. It is wicked! Love it as is from bumper to bumper . You got some fantastic footage with the cam in the cockpit, and those jumps were stellar. It’s a natural! I’d run it at the track stock and then mod and then compare how much improvements it gaine from stock form. Great share Troy! Have a great weekend!😎👊🏼✌🏻🍻

I am already looking at 17mm hexes for it. Seems there are a few options. This buggy actually shares more in common with the TEN-SCTE truck - so I might run more of that style setup with it.

@@RoadsideRC I got the fox livery. I have a bunch of upgrades as well including steering rack, servo, techno shafts, mpi puck center shaft kit, aluminum chassis braces, aluminum diff cups and a few others. I have a super rock rey as well with a full vitavon kit, fun stuff!
You can get some exact replica aluminum center brace from ali express, copy paste "2Pcs Metal Front & Rear Chassis Support" and look for the one that looks exactly the same as the losi OEM part. They have it under losi lasernut u4 but it fits the db pro should be 15$ canadian dollars which like what $10 USD lol. And losi wants like 40 bucks a piece for it, I've carefully compared the ali express ones to OEM losi ones and they look exactly the same at 1/8th of the cost, pretty damn crazy savings. I have them installed and they fit perfectly, holes align, quality is perfect, and the colour matches the chassis. Save some cash for sure, if you seach hard enough you can find the replica c hubs and axles hubs, I bought those too for a fraction of the losi price but haven't install them yet.

@@RoadsideRC from all I read out there, before going to 4s, get extra diff gears. Also, earplug has been beneficial. Does seem like with all this speed they have just on 3s, have to be careful on the drag brake choice. But I have used my Lasernut for some hill killing (and some track time too) so have a little drag is helpful for me, but just a lil
Great vid. Lovely beast. Struggling to see how this is different to the v1 apart from the tx but I imagine there are quite a few upgrades. Can anyone help me ? Anyway, really nice. Look forward to chapter two.

The DB vs DB pro is almost a whole different vehicle for sure. There is a number of things - here are a few (forgive me if I get a few of these crossed up: - Aluminum shock towers - Diff gear upgrade - Radio upgrade

@@RoadsideRC not what he is talking about. There are two versions of the db pro. V1 and v 2. I think that the difference is just the controller. I have the v1 and my controller stopped working on me and I contacted horizon hobby and they gave me a new controller and receiver for free
What battery were you running? How difficult is it to change the gears? Are the gears included?
@RoadsideRC
Жыл бұрын
Yes, the gear is included. Mostly, I run this buggy on 2S. However 3S is quite fun.
Nice control off the ramp. I normally see nose dives or crashes off jumps with the DB pro. Would you recommend the Tenacity over the Lasernut for dependability ?

That does suck!! Sorry to hear that.
What's the difference between the V1 and V2? Looks like you now get a DX3 transmitter instead of the DX2e, which is a nice upgrade. The steering servo may have also changed. It's an S614 now, but might have been an S605 before? Not sure if there's a meaningful difference between the two. Any other differences?

@@RoadsideRC I picked up a V1 on clearance from a local hobby shop last weekend. Indeed it does appear to be just the transmitter and steering servo that has changed with the V2. I'm not a servo snob, but I realized pretty quickly that the S605 that came with the V1 is objectively crap! It's an analog servo with bushings on the output drive that have so much slop that a significant amount of steering travel is lost. I have a Traxxas 2075X from a TRX-4 that has the same torque rating (9KG) as the S605, but it's digital with ball bearings on the output drive. That made a world of difference! Based on the specs for the S614 that comes with the V2, it looks like that was a smart move on Losi's part.
Having just brought a losi tenacity db pro v2 for myself for Christmas 2023 Please help me link (bind)the transmitter to the receiver or do a short video can't get it to break your video are very informative. Thank you.
