Title: New Losi Desert Truck (1/10)
Ritchie - April 8, 2008 08:38 AM (GMT)
Not exactly hot off the presses, but I figured I'd post this as I'd like to hear what you guys think. Its basically the Speed T chassis, set up more for off-road with a geared diff etc, and without the brushless system...

| Desert Truck Features LM-32K Motor The Desert Truck features a Losi LM-32K 32,000 RPM motor for the best combination of low-end terrain-assaulting torque and top-end speed. Built to work with the installed Losi speed control, the LM-32K motor offers upgraded power right out of the box. Speed Control The Losi 12RB electronic speed control is a full-featured speed control offering performance usually only found on expensive upgrades. Designed to work in conjunction with the installed Losi LM-32K motor, the 12RB ESC has the crisp throttle response to launch the Desert Truck off the line and accelerate to top speed fast. Heavy-Duty Gear Diff The Desert Trucks heavy-duty gear differential features dual rubber O-rings to seal out dirt, a hardened steel bevel and spider gears for unmatched toughness, a precision molded case and heat-treated outdrives. Long arm suspension The Desert Trucks extended chassis design and long-arm suspension keep the center of gravity low while offering a full 3 inches of suspension travel for unbelievable scale performance. The oil-filled shocks smooth out the roughest terrain, just like the full-size suspensions that they are based on. DSM Radio System and redesigned electronics This innovative interference-free DSM radio system will run anywhere, anytime, without signal conflicts or the need to change crystals or assign frequencies. The DSM transmitter utilizes a short, fold-over antenna and requires only 4 AA batteries saving weight as well as money on battery replacement. The DSM receiver also eliminates the need for a long antenna wire and unsightly antenna tube. |

I think if this ends up priced reasonably closely to the other RTR's like the Rustler or E-Firestorm, I'd probably go for this one B)
I'd be really interested to hear what you guys think :thumbs_up:

not bad at all, but shame its not brushless

They put the Xcelorin in the Speed T, so would there be any reason why its not brushless in the off-road version other than trying to keep the price down? And maybe make the Speed T look better :P
