Losi Xcelorin Systems, any good?

[andys]

Anyone know what gives with the losi systems, they seem good value compared with say LRP or Novak. Why are they so much cheaper, and are they any good for racing ?

Cheers. Andy,

I have used the 10.5 and 8.5 motors, and they are very good, I would recommend them for at least club racing, and drivers have made National 'A' finals with them, so they are not bad.

I have had okay experience with the speedo, although I know that others have had mixed issues with the speedo's, especially trying to do firmware updates, so you may want to consider your options. The warranty is excellent though through horizon hobby though.

The speedo was good enough to win the 2wd Stotfold national this year, the motors are as good as anything else out there, and as mentioned before the warrentry is probably one of the best available you can get.

All issues with the firmware are sorted and all of the speedo's now come with the latest software pre-installed.

I bought one last xmas, and to be honest I did have some issues at first, mainly with firmware. Mine was the 6.5. I can only say that Horizon's warranty and customer service are second to none. I sent it off on the Monday, and had a replacement on Weds!

Performance wise it is excellent, you can't beat the price, and I quite like being able to plug it in to the laptop to adjust settings (admittedly I don't have the faintest what difference it makes but it looks like I know what I'm doing....he he)

The only slightly neg thing I would say is the sheer size of it makes installing it a little bit of a pig if you have a low shell. Went in x6 no probs, but losi xxxcr the fan had to come off.

Overall I would happily buy another one.

I've run them in my CR and DB01 and am very happy with them, and they were no bigger than the GTBs that were in there to start with (in 2wd the Novak's too tall if you keep the fan on too)

The stange thing is the foot print is the same as the LRP ssx, only the Losi speedo has a bigger power cap and a taller fan and heatsink.
