I have a reefs 179 in my typhon grom and let me tell you I LOVE it. I burnt out a bunch(about 8 within 2 months) ecopower and spektrum servos then switched to the 179. I also don’t run servo savers so keep that in mind.. 100’ cartwheels at 50+mph and it’s still going strong.
Track pretty slick. They used to sell a substance i believe called "tiger paw" for traction on slot car tracks. It worked! Put a little on your tires and go. Those foam tires would grip good after. That was 50 years ago. Probably causes cancer in California now.😅
They are not foams but rubber Goodyear slicks. That said, a little tire prep would still be very effective…until it wore off. Better to find a setup that is neutral through the corners.
This is what I wanted from this model, but after some YT comments discussion with Losi, they are wanting to stay true to the NASCAR side of this. However, you have have created what Arrma will hopefully do with a pavement model Grom. Would be a good chance for them to do the first BL Grom, too. Not a drift car, but more of an autocross setup.
IF u know anyone that's 'competitive' in the touring car racing world, talk to them. I'm sure they have an 'oval' setup. IF it was 2wd, any oval setup (concrete, dirt, etc) works. Locally all oval tracks are only clay dirt. Fast AF too coming from a 2wd lcg slash. They're impressive to watch.
Question I don't want to fry my losi nascar the first day do you think it's 3s compatible the other 2 in 1 esc/rx from spectrum are but can't find info on the spmxse3125rx
Need to get you some sticky wheel weights for balancing car tires and use them to adjust the weight biased I bet Just an ounce of weight on the nose of that car would make a huge difference
Dude you cant drive lol .. we took ours outta the box tires warmed up and we had a blast .. you can bump another car power off and not wreck a guy .. all in all we run the hell outta them .. great little car
Can you please post a video on how to fix the solid red light on the charger when the battery is plugged in because I have been able to even run my car cause I haven’t been able to charge the battery yet because of this issue
It's only faster because you can carry more speed on the straights due to gyro stability vs before you were fighting to keep control let alone high speeds
You also don't want the car breaking the rear loose. Sliding is slow. You want it to feel like it's riding on a rail. Also slow in means fast out. Fast In means loss of control, pushing, and super slow out.
When you had the prototypes did you notice that they had the optional adjustable arms on on car and the adjustable steering links on the other? That’s how I seen it in the videos am I correct?
Track needs banked turns !! Sweet vid man!! I see 6.5 and more to be had by a chunk!!!! Lets go banked turns!

Nothing stays stock forever 👍😁✌️

You can put a thicker shock oil in the right rear shock to help illuminate the body roll and get the car more traction through the turn
Holy adapters Batman!

Only 3 “adapters” quite impressive!!
National lampoons rc!
Just took delivery of mine today and took it around the pickleball court. Seemed to slide around just enough to make driving this car a blast.
I wish you could have heard me laugh with you made the Kool-Aid comment.👍

A little front weight was what I was thinking too 🤙
Nice stuff! I might put the Spektrum Firma 6000Kv system in mine!
Raise the track bar a few rounds!!!😂
Looks alot faster than stock out of the box since you upgraded the esc big power difference I would do this upgrade if I got this car
That’s awesome Joe!!! 🤘🏻
A Mamba Micro X 2 with a sensored 10 series motor would be psychotic in that car, and up to 4s capable for speed runs.
I came here to say this! The ultimate little system. Just don’t forget to put a fan on the X2 if you’re going to run 4S or any kind of tall gearing.
Try different tires use some street tires with tread 😊
Doing really good.
I bet once the tires get worn in it will handle a little better.
Are you able to lower the front or raise the rear ?
That is definitely gonna be a blast having a few rubbing around the track 💯🏁❤🏆
👍👍👍😃
😂yeah!!! Oh nooo!!😂😂
Would changing diff oils make a difference? For front end traction for steering.
Loosen the left side shocks and stiffen the right side shocks
I definitely wanna see some videos here of races with these things
I have a pre-ordering should ship after September 5

I tried it's not compatible with 3s it did protect itself
Hey Joe, fellas,
Pick of the litter here. 😂
Yeah… followed by oh noooo !!! 😂😂 classic

Need the sticky stuff in corners like NASCAR put down same at the drag strip they make stuff to put down on track for added traction
Why not try using a leaf blower on the track before you run? Maybe it’ll help remove any dirt/sand before you run? Worth a try?
Can you please post a video on how to fix the solid red light on the charger when the battery is plugged in because I have been able to even run my car cause I haven’t been able to charge the battery yet because of this issue
I bet it seems faster mostly due to the gyro letting you accelerate and brake much more aggressively because you're not spinning out as much.
It's only faster because you can carry more speed on the straights due to gyro stability vs before you were fighting to keep control let alone high speeds
Do you allow gyros when you race?
Please get some friends together who have the other versions of this car and do a 100 lap nascar race🙏🏽 pretty please 🙏🏽
😜🤪
I've never seen a 4wd Nascar.
(& I'll leave it alone)
Any possibility of adding front and rear sway bars?
I'd stiffen the right rear spring and add some thicker oil. I'd probably also add a tiny bit of weight to the front left
You also don't want the car breaking the rear loose. Sliding is slow. You want it to feel like it's riding on a rail. Also slow in means fast out. Fast In means loss of control, pushing, and super slow out.
It would be better if the concrete was not as slick 😮😁👍
Concrete was/is to fresh to pressure wash.
Maybe add some tire dope. GM 'top engine cleaner' is excellent on rubber.
When you had the prototypes did you notice that they had the optional adjustable arms on on car and the adjustable steering links on the other? That’s how I seen it in the videos am I correct?
I've seen people put brushless esc on brushed motors and get more speed my guess is it gets more amperage 😮😅😮
Why did you choose the reefs 179 over the reefs 55
You need the diffs to be less open. Watch the slowmo videos.
Slower was definitely more consistent
🖐😃👍
Sauce the tires
