that's a decent saving too, I really like these, but I wonder if I'd end up getting bored?.. love My straight line blasters...but after a while I wanna rag it round a few sharp corners too, what's it like on the bends?
Available in the UK for £490 ish if folks don't want to import. They should sell a cheaper set without any steering functionality, it's redundant anyway?
If you wanna run the car that low get belted tires🤨 because They are still gonna rub and tear up the tire and eventually the tape. 😤 whoever designed the car needs kicked in the nuts.🤨
Me : **has barely enough money to maintain the cars I already have** Also me with my long list of cars I want : **yep here goes another one on the list**
You're one of the UK kings of RC living in the Midwest getting into the hobby in Missouri with no money your videos keep me pushing to find parts to Frankenstein my cars together and not just make them faster but just more fun Love the content keep it up mate
It was a Playstation 5, that kicked off my RC habit. Now I have a Revo, Teton, Trx, VS4, YD-2 SXIII, TA dr10. Glad the scalpers got them all I am having fun outdoors!
It's now 1 year later (July 10, 2023) and I just bought this car, ready to run, from Amain for $149.99. The Losi 22s roller is only $69.99. I'm really not a drag racing fan so I plan to change wheels and tires and convert mine into a road-race car.
Awesome video! WOW!!! I just checked my nearest hobby store's website and they are retailing for $519.99 Canadian Dollars plus battery. At least in my part of Canada. Shows you how the pricing would vary from country to country and region to region.
My grandfather had the opportunity to be part owner of summit racing when they were in the process of getting the company started and refused the offer. If only he hadn't I couldn't imagine the types of life we would of loved. RIP
This is far from a no prep drag car! You have to buy the car, wait for it to arrive, unbox the car, charge the battery, take the body off to install the battery, put batteries in the transmitter, and take it outside to use in the street!! This is a ton of preparation to get racing. Horizon should be ashamed of themselves. LOL 😂
It means no preppie ppl allowed to drive it. Lol. As a rebellious teen, I hated "preppies". Nice vid as always mate. Personally Im mad its impossible for me to get some german n french rc makers in usa. Especially "Reely" make many rc I want, but its impossible to get in US.
That’s not what they mean by no prep they mean like no prep drag racing where you race the street or backwards on a race track so you start on the unprepared surface
Drag cars definitely looking like tons of fun. So many RC’s on the never ending list to have. I’m not sure if I want the roller or rtr version when I get one. I agree 💯 the 1969 Camaro looks beautiful!!
Oh my gosh that was hilarious.. I’m happy you finally got your drag car. I finally got mine too , the Traxxas one. Your videos are what made me want to start running with the GPS and get that great Telemetry. Great video.
I love my smart batteries find they last a long time and has good power delivery plus being able to watch the battery info is nice to keep it from over heating and catching fire but also use a DX5C controller which seems to be a good combination
If it makes you feel any better, we can't get most of the hot hatches that you lot get. No GR Yaris here, we never got Cossie Fords or any of the good pugs either. We can't even get 3 door Fiestas. I guess they assume everyone who wants to go fast wants a V8. Oh well. Great video! Maybe Horizon will change their mind and send some muscle your way. Cheers!
NICEEEEEE... Now that's nice. Summit racing... Nice ... Summit is a good company... Honestly I'd love a model like this... One in metal... A full model... This is just gonna look good.. unfortunately.. it's probably not gonna be a GREAT drag racer... It's just beautiful. It actually ran pretty good... Good for you
Such a beautiful 69 Camaro. The body detail is amazing. Great price, good electronics and its a Losi. 👍 The only improvement I can see is the rear tail light covers ?
Love it and want one and that’s not terrible for shipping costs n I know E-Bay are good for there American imports and how fast 💨 45mph. I think it’ll be a bit of a squirmer on 3s? 🥴 Excellent speed n runs outta the box 🤩👍
Best I have seen one of these go was 2.38/2.45 and 46mph. Possible they don't think there is a market although drag racing is pretty well known not seen any organised for the UK.
It's a general Lee orange. Shouldn't be bad to touch up. I put a smart phone screen protector cut it in 4 peice and shoe gue or tuck it under or whatever
That's nise the best looking drag car off the shelf love the SS looks so good better than all the others out there need it in the UK now wheels look so nise 👍
I nearly got the Blue... but thought the Red with stickers was better for e camera. And because it’s got Summit on the side... which I bet Traxxas hate haha
I agree on spectrum battery are a little high on price but I have been happy with how well they are holding up. After over 20 cycles I'm still at 1 each cell for resistant most batteries I have tested are more around 15 resistant after couple charges. So to me that has alot to say about why cost are bit higher more mine are the 3s 100c 5000mah plus I do get a avg of 4 mph faster vs my cheaper batteries. I wasn't sure I wanted to buy them when I could get same for maybe 20 less at same rate so wanted try them to date they are still the best I've tried and yes wish they would cost less but to me a cost to benefit seems to be in that there batteries are worth it for now. What's your best battery for price that has same spec that would be compatible???? Keep the great reviews going 👍
Thanks dude. Nothing really wrong with the Spektrum ones, I just think cost is a little high for what you get. I use these: chinahobbyline.com/shop/detail/454. CNHL have a good reputation for making decent Lipos.. and price is unbeatable
@@TomleyRC I haven't tried one cnhl . I've tried alot over the years my best budget battery right now are the povway I got from Amazon have been good I have 8 different sizes from 6s 4500 down they do good job and ovonic not bad also I use in my fpv race qauds 6s I also tried a smc it was very good but it wasn't mine so I couldn't test it way I like to and not sure how they are price wise . Keep up with your channel your doing great and hope we see some new break through stuff in the future if not it's still a fun hobby that's safe and better to do then worry about all b.s. in the world
get the losi 22s and buy the sway bar kit los334021, Im certain you can get even better launchs out of it. I would suggest putting limiters in the front shocks, also a different rate spring up front. Take the rear limiters out and adjust the bump stop to be a little smaller. Some gearing and a different set of tires, easy 2.5 to 2.6 seconds for only a 60 bucks in mods and maybe half hour on the bench!
Damn! That tire rub is a beehotch!!!!!!! 😖 But yes, this is the only drag ca r I'd buy if I was into it. That Camaro shell and paint/sticker job is the business!!!!!!!! 🥰 😋😋😋😋
Beautiful car. It must really get up and go with the 100 amp ESC and 6500kv Brushless Motor. Thanks for showing us all the features and details of this 69 Camaro. 👍👍
It doesn't. 64 mph on 3s then cuts out. I switched to the 130 amp they put on the tenacity and now it goes 71 before I have to let off cause of space constraints where I'm at
A little fun fact, I would guess all of the sellers on Ebay say they ship world wide BUT about half of them WILL NOT ship to Alaska, my home, or Hawaii. A little known geography fact, the 49th and 50th states are not on the earth according sellers from China to the U.S.A.

Still my favourite rc though by a long way
@@TomleyRC is it yeah I didnt know that I been put off buying from the US after that I didn't realise ebay covers the cost deffo a few bits ill be getting for the typhon then. Cheers Phil 👍
siiick... I want one!..NOW!! lol.. gotta fix up My old-skool Cannondale MTB first.. then?.. Maybees!.. can these things actually wheelie?.. I bet these could be modded up to a proper little rocket.
my childhood memories was of a red nikko(dad got it ob sears) LOBO rc buggy that made me spend many bucks on duracells, before i found re-chargeable batts

You guys here in America 🇺🇸 we’re fine.
Use metal exhaust tape to keep tires from rubbing the paint of the wheel wells.
Yes... definitely
Great idea 🔥👍✌️

just because a company went big doesn’t mean you wanted to spend 30 years being partners with the person
Yes many times to fit in the box the body is mounted lower had to raise my body mounts on a Short course truck or the wheels would rub too
I’m not much for having a shelf queen but that’s an amazing candidate for one beautiful car body
Yes agree... looks good just sat still

RC nerds RULE!! Been looking at these. Get one eventually
Give u a hint in setting up the IRS for straight line drag racing ,- dial in about 5 degrees of POSITIVE CAMBER.
I don't understand, the title says $249 then you say in the video it cost £400? I am a little confused?
Your a different type of unboxing. Your not the only youtuber: however I believe you an honest person. Enjoying the content.
Thank you 🙏

Yes, lots of fun, especially when you are able to time them. Makes tuning so much more rewarding
Cool 😎 🆒️
Disappointing about the the rubbing but such a proper drag car👌👍👍
Yes, a little annoying. But such an awesome car
They need to release everything in the uk cuz that’s where all the tc RUclipsrs and RC703 lovers are
Rc
Love your style. You don't act like you're on the playground 😉
Haha... I try and keep it real. Some people say it’s boring... but I’d rather be myself than try and put on an act
Oh my gosh that was hilarious.. I’m happy you finally got your drag car. I finally got mine too , the Traxxas one. Your videos are what made me want to start running with the GPS and get that great Telemetry. Great video.
Glad you are having some fun with it... so much better with the GPS
I love my smart batteries find they last a long time and has good power delivery plus being able to watch the battery info is nice to keep it from over heating and catching fire but also use a DX5C controller which seems to be a good combination
Yes.. they are ok, just not sure they are worth the premium
put a drag race concepts wheelie bar on. lot better than the stock plastic one
I just got the exact car yesterday used but in excellent condition I wonder though can it be upgraded for more speed?
The clarkson edit. 😂 brilliant vid as always
Haha... I’m a big fan of him and the gang
Me Too! I don't buy many cars but I had put aside for this drag car but was very disappointed when it's not available in the UK hobby shops😥
I believe prolineracing makes a belted drag tire. Might help with wearing the paint.
Some people may know them as protoform .
I’ll take a look
If it makes you feel any better, we can't get most of the hot hatches that you lot get. No GR Yaris here, we never got Cossie Fords or any of the good pugs either. We can't even get 3 door Fiestas. I guess they assume everyone who wants to go fast wants a V8. Oh well. Great video! Maybe Horizon will change their mind and send some muscle your way. Cheers!
Well you can now get e Drag Slash over here… so Losi missing out 😅
It looks like a must have , I know after watching your review I must have it now .😂
Haha
I have one, had it for 6 months. Ran it twice. I'm not into it. Buy it!..
NICEEEEEE... Now that's nice.
Summit racing... Nice ... Summit is a good company...
Honestly I'd love a model like this...
One in metal... A full model...

Such a beautiful 69 Camaro. The body detail is amazing. Great price, good electronics and its a Losi. 👍 The only improvement I can see is the rear tail light covers ?
Why were they not for sale in the UK ?
Just ordered the drag roller
That is a very good looking car there. Some really nice touches on it.
Agree 👍
Just seen ad for a traxxas 1/8 mustang funny car. Claims 70+mph!
Oh it was like 8years ago. 😂
The best rtr drag car in my opinion, I only upgraded pinion gear and tires and I’m running 2s battery, car is really fast !!
I am surprised that is not the U.k. nice little speed run my friend, got AWFUL CLOSE to that phone there lol!!
Yes lol... close call!
Need to raise those body posts at the rear....
Stunning looking rig !
I love the low stance. I’ll just put ‘speed’ tape on next time
@@TomleyRC ..... Wonder where you find that ..... 😉😉
Killer Drag Car! Only seen picture of it on the box at the hobby shop, Way better looking on video! Thanks for showing! And so true about Christmas!
Do the Drag cars steer enough if I want to cruise it around and not go always straight?
Yes, you can cruise around with them. May need to just raise the body a little first
@@TomleyRC Cool! Thanks!👍
the rear looks perfect stiffen front preload front was bouncing quite abit remember those tiny bumps of the asphalt image pothole sized to the car
Love it and want one and that’s not terrible for shipping costs n I know E-Bay are good for there American imports and how fast 💨 45mph. I think it’ll be a bit of a squirmer on 3s? 🥴 Excellent speed n runs outta the box 🤩👍
Best I have seen one of these go was 2.38/2.45 and 46mph. Possible they don't think there is a market although drag racing is pretty well known not seen any organised for the UK.
That’s rapid... certainly possible with a decent hook up
It's a general Lee orange. Shouldn't be bad to touch up. I put a smart phone screen protector cut it in 4 peice and shoe gue or tuck it under or whatever
Stick velcro stips the padded bit whare you used instalation tape the wheels won't burn through that stuff to the shell!
Aside from the electronics, not much has changed since the RC10 of 1989.
Cool cool man. I’d never drag race just because of where I live but I enjoy watching your video 🙌💯💯💯💯
Cheers dude
My local store has a brand new one on sale for $250 and I’m so so so tempted but I have no use for it🤣
Considering the mqd price a drag slash would be more convenient
Great passes right out of the stinking box wicked bro!!!
Yes... fast!
WOW Amazing Dragster!!!!
That's nise the best looking drag car off the shelf love the SS looks so good better than all the others out there need it in the UK now wheels look so nise 👍
I thought "no prep" referred to the track not being prepared or modified before/during the races. How would a car be "no prep"?
Cool shots! Your channel hits different.
Loved the scale look when they released it. Sucks we can’t get it in the uk 😢 definitely think it would look better without the stickers 😉
I nearly got the Blue... but thought the Red with stickers was better for e camera. And because it’s got Summit on the side... which I bet Traxxas hate haha
Looks way better in person. Thing is huge
Nice looking car. Never considered a drag RC, but that looks like fun.
They are fun... more if you have the Skyrc gps
@@TomleyRC yeah I have been wanting that gps since it came out, but I have too many RC's I want 🤪
Very nice body. Perhaps Shoe goo and aluminium tape under fender flares can solve the problem (y)
That thing is absolutely awesome I love Losi Definitely my all time favorite RCs 🔥👍✌️
Looks fantastic...great vid...cheers Phil.
Cheers dude 😎🤟
Its so nice not sure i would want to take it off my shelf
I considered getting 2, so I could have one to look at haha
I was the same with my m05 mini monty carlo when i first got it. looked to good to use
Still haven't got my power rangers Dragonzord yet lol
I love Pro Street cameros 400 bucks shipped thats good way search for one right now!
Awesome drag car and run
Cheers dude
Great video but the Spektrum battery’s are worth the money and have switched all mine out to them👍💪
Respray if you can find the paint 👍🏻
What a heat looking but of kit 👍
Absolutely love this one
Me too
The Traxxas has a gyro setting to only work during braking. Not sure if it's legal, but it saves the car after the pass.
At the 454 mark, when you run it will go left. I can't run mine waiting on a replacement ESC.
Beautiful machine
Every christmas I woke up and was disappointed, never once did I find Jodie Foster under the tree, my parents were mean! Great Video!

Definitely looks nicer than the DR10 and I can only afford one😊 either the Traxxas Drag Slash, associated DR10 or this the Losi 22 Camaro 🙄
get the losi 22s and buy the sway bar kit los334021, Im certain you can get even better launchs out of it. I would suggest putting limiters in the front shocks, also a different rate spring up front. Take the rear limiters out and adjust the bump stop to be a little smaller. Some gearing and a different set of tires, easy 2.5 to 2.6 seconds for only a 60 bucks in mods and maybe half hour on the bench!
I’d choose the Losi
Goodness that's power full

You should install the sway bar and see what it does! los334021 is the part number!
A little fun fact, I would guess all of the sellers on Ebay say they ship world wide BUT about half of them WILL NOT ship to Alaska, my home, or Hawaii.

Beautiful looking car that its a pity they don't sell here in UK did you get stung with customs tax, as when I bought my typhon 6s from amain when it got to UK I had to pay I think 91 quid in customs tax so it didn't work out any cheaper and had to wait nearly 2 weeks for it.

Funny he talks about Christmas, because he looks like the kid from Christmas story, your gonna shoot your eye out !

Nice looking we need it here but in Union Jack colour scheme lol 😂
Yes haha... but not on a Camaro. Maybe an old Sierra or Granada 😅
Minis get the Union Jack, Camaros get the stars and stripes!
Did you balance the tires/wheels? 2.8 would be really good straight out of the box without a balanced set of tires. That's impressive.
Straight out the box.... just charged a battery and plugged it in 😎👌
Hooks hard goes straight!!
