    I would think the TLR universals from the 8ight-xt kit would work on this since the arms are the same. TLR242040. Might be a better quality part.

    This is a great looking scale version (I have the 1/10 and love it) but so far the consensus is it's not for even mild bashing without stoppages. Both reviews I've watched have had dog bone issues. One simple fix was placing an O ring in the drive cup to cushion the gap movement. If you want to do huge air with an RC stick to the Traxxas, Arrma or Redcat style bashers. If you love scale, Losi still rocks, specially filming in slow mo.

    I saw on a video there is a lot of horizontal slop in the axial and they pop out with suspension travel. Maybe it broke on the outdrive cup as it was about to pop out. The person put an o ring in the outdrive cup and it fixed the problem. Thanks for the video. I have the first one and I plan on getting this one.

    That's a bad spot for a power button/switch I have the losi super baja/rock rey 2.0 Love them both They don't break easy they are pretty damn durable But I really like how on my 2 losi trucks that the batteries go in the bottom and you don't have to remove the body at all to do that On the flip side It does make it a challenge to do some work on them When that time does come to do repairs or maintenance The rear diff is real easy to get to the front and center not as easy I wasn't a fan of the small laser nut It's appearance isn't isn't appealing in my opinion This looks cool but what are the issues that comes with it We shall see I am into large scale rc cars I have a few I will see what happens with this rig over time and see if I even want to get one Good content

    The 1/8th scale base parts are not stout enuf for off-road on a 1/6 th scale. On road..., probably fine and better for less weight. Seams overly flawed just like the first lazernut.

    Nice looking car and sweet run, bummer about the breakage though! That front outdrive looks crazy scraped up, you think a tiny pebble could have gotten in there and jammed it, breaking off the pin? Seems like a weird thing to break without something else interfering with it, you weren't even running it hard.

    I wonder if the 1/6 Lasernut cage could be fitted to an Arrma XLWB 6s chassis? That would make the Lasernut bashable, otherwise it's just another Losi money pit. It's really cool, just not very durable, just like the 1/10 version that preceded it.

    Not falling for it this time I spent over $500 on the first one & it’s the worst RC I’ve ever had I love the look of it & when it ran it wa awesome but mine would break after 2 runs or so over & over & became a money pit. Last time out which was over a year ago I just replaced the entire center diff & first time out after the rear went out. I have a total of under 20 runs on it. Now it just sits looking pretty on the shelf. Now maybe I got a bad one I don’t know but Losi lost my business right outta the gate I’ve wanted to but Losi’s but I do not trust the quality. The runs I did have on it where not even bashing just running it. Such a disappointment. 🤨

    Such a cool looking truck. Def want to get on of these!! It does seem to “land hard” in the front, sort of like a Max Slash… unexpected… and interesting failure too! 👀 This doesn’t seem like a car to do backflips and crazy bashing with either… more like a purpose built racer with what looks like a lot of realism (which is awesome IMO) but it sure didn’t look like you were beating on it too hard either 🤔 Look forward to any follow up 🔧👍🏼

    I want to see this side by side size compared to a Fireteam. While not exactly alike they seem to have a few similar features. If it's as much an animal as the Fireteam it'll be a great rig. I think the breakage was a rock related fluke. I'd love to support my local shop, just need someone to build one first. Closest one is 1.5 hours away versus free delivery ordering online. It's just not a practical option for some of us
