I love my Losi 8e, didnt cost too much to build up as bought a used Losi 8 and did it all in stages using the losi conversion and buying the electrics etc, using HW stuff from ebay and Turnigy cells and its mentally fast (much much quicker than a nitro) and just plug and play!
Coming from a 10th back ground I find it easier to drive as an E buggy.
I took my one to a round of the SE Regionals at EPR and ran it in truck class for a bit of fun, after people seeing it go on track I heard loads of people in the pits saying 'I got to get me one of those!'
Nath Ralls had a go and loved it! Its like a big stupidly fast 10th Buggy!
