Great to hear, and that actually looks very cool imo! :thumbsup:

Cool:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Any idea of release date.:D

Looks v.nice, but in mid-motor configuration looks very tight for electrics.

I can see it accepts saddle and stick batteries, anybody know if it accepts 6 cell nimh packs?

:)

YELLOW WHEELS :woot:

There is space for electrics in mid motor all behind the servo if you use a short stubby servo such as Spektrum/Savox etc. Assuming 6 cell nimh packs are the same size as Lipo stick then in arear motor configuration yes they would fit

Si

:woot:

Sexy...very sexy...me like...me like a lot!

Very nice:thumbsup:

Have you run one yet Si?

Was supposed to at EPR on Sunday but i think the snow will put that on hold, may have to do a few laps of the kitchen instead ; - )

That is a neat looking car.

Does this mean we should expect a new 4wd at some point too...?

Get an EBOR 24 team sorted quick, that'll test it! :woot:

G

Thats looks ace! :thumbsup: Nice to see Losi going back to their roots, not maknig bloody RTR's all the time!

Looks like the took inspiration from the SMR B4 but mid motor!

VERY NICE!!! dear santa............:lol:

nice to see they can still do it....
 

Hello all,

What a beautiful car, are all the options needed for both motor positions included in the box?
Are those big bore shocks?
i think I just found my new 2 wd car for next season......

Greetings

Hans

If you look closely at the front wishbones and front hubs there appears to be room for driveshafts :cool:

It's nice to see Losi back in the game :thumbsup:

Yes your're right - a bit like the B44...

Sexy Wheels! :woot:

:D

No that probably still is property of Durango :D.

Yes all parts are in the kit you need to run either inboard or out board, Shocks are also big boar shocks
Si

Velcro straps FTW :thumbsup:

Thats looks fecking bang on, like it.

There will be alot of cougars coming up for sale me thinks:lol:

Those shocks will go nicely on my X6!

Due out just around when i'll be looking for a new car. And it looks sexy as hell ! Shame to run both configurations, you'd have to have saddle packs, but i'll be looking for a new LiPo as well, so all Good :D

Have to say that looks pretty nice!

Does have some hints of Durango in it...and hints of Thomas P's slim B4 in it too...goes to show nothing is truely original these days ;)

Anyway, whoever has been involved in it, good work Losi for putting it out there!

I've lost count of how many brand new cars (rather than updates) have been let loose on us in the last couple of years...has 10th offroad always been this prolific?

EDIT: One thing I have just noticed is that steering rack...not convinced about that one yet...but will happily be convinced if it proves to be any good.

New logo, new car, is TLR the same Losi that is making RTR cars, or a new racing division (like how HPI have Hot Bodies for racing)?

Something is definitely afoot... might be a while before we find out what it is though!

Theyve really thought about this, I was curious as just by turning the gearbox the motor rotation would be wrong - like the early 3 gear X-6. But Losi state it has 3 gear gearbox for rear-motor and 4 gear gearbox for when mid-motor, so this is optimized for both configurations - all parts included in the kit too.... I hope im reading it right, but if so, great work TL!! :thumbsup:

Losi is the RTR devision and TLR (Team Losi Racing) is as the name suggest the racing side of the company.

indoors at silverstone on sat if interested m8. with the weather at the mo it is the best i can sudgest ;)

Well spotted!

I am quite sure they have a (Durango-ish?) 4WD car in the making as the the historic XX-4 and not-less-historic XXX-4 are no options anymore.

Superb video on youtube there guys, nice work losi:thumbsup:
Pre order done!!!!

Another vid

Can't make i am afraid as the full size car is going in for a service on saturday!! but some where on Sunday would be good if i can find some where with no snow :woot:

let it be a all new XX4 than with stronger wichbones and drive train.

The 22's front wishbones look very 1/8-scale-ish!
