Really well made video. Finally, someone who understands how to inform their audience with proper dimensions / specs. You just earned another subscriber 🤘🏻👊🏻
I have it and i love it. Aside from few problems: stock gearing is too low, tires tend to blow(4 my friends have these too and we all have blown tires), its heavy on batteries 120c gens can hardly keep up, front cvd sometimes break(no breakages other than shafts, some worn bearings and tires). Pros: ITS BIG, ITS FAST, ITS DURABLE, ITS FUN.
It’s definitely not for everyone but I freaking love it! I did blow a tire too! I also added two more powerful servos and a new receiver and radio. It does burn through batteries at over 30 pounds of mass! Great shocks and durability overall and I get so many smiles from this on my face, my kids and other people love it! All in I’m over 2k for sure, but it makes me and my kids so happy. We have 12 cars and this is definitely a different beast than the XMaxx which size wise I can compare it to. I have other 8S cars but this size is just awesome for huge open fields and dirt!!!
@@rebandmike I agree on that. Car is not flawless but its alot of fun. For tires you can try using proline badlands i use them on mine and these are holding insanely well.
Gens Ace batteries are kinda crap with fake C ratings. Get an SMC. Once you buy your first SMC battery, you wonder why you ever bought anything else. They last much much longer than regular batteries because they're made with (instead of graphene) lithium cobalt oxide, which degrades much less over time. Plus, you get real 150C punch, where 75% of the runtime is above 3.8 volts. They're the best damn batteries, and barely more expensive than GensAceAreSpammers 👈🏼 which is what we call them on the Arrma forums, because they feel the need to do more marketing than R&D I get a 2 milli-ohm internal resistance from my SMC, compared to 4-5 on a Gens Ace. It's well worth the small extra price just because they last way longer. My Gens Ace does get used heavily but it's puffing in only a year with 10 milli-ohm IR, yuck.
I love the fact that it is understeery, makes it more realistic. Still waiting for RC models which actually are very close to a miniature model of a real car of sorts with even the weight being scaled down appropriately for more realistic handling.
Glad to see my feet and car in the video at 3:41. Crazy seeing you at the track Brett after watching all your videos. Hope to one day be able to buy one of these bad boys! Keep up the great vids!
You can cancel out understeer by moving the batteries as close to or directly over the front axle, adding some weights to the front axle, or adjusting the wheel alignments.
I have the Gas DBXL and its absolutely one of my favorite cars, out of the 35 or so I own. It's brilliantly designed, durable, and looks really good. Affordable too! I just wish there was a bigger aftermarket for it...
Also bought a dblx, sound is so good and smell of 2 stroke so amazing, cant wait for the snow to melt so i can enjoy it in the dirt instead of ice and snow
@@nicolasgiasson2449 exactly! I can understand electric power in every other aspects of the hobby but a 1/5 scale has got to be gas in my opinion. It's half the thrill!
Cant wait to buy this 1/5 scale electric as my next rc. I bought a Kyosho Inferno GT2 Race Spec Nitro Audi R8 with the KE25 engine from you guys and have had nothing but problems. I am officially a nitro hater now and all electric now. Your video convinced me to get this buggy next. Jon-
Hey anyone who wants to buy my old nitro car hit me up at happyjonny1976@gmail.com and I can send you pics. I bought a whole bunch of nitro stuff and it is useless to me now. Jon-
That's a bummer to hear Jon. Nitro's can be tons of fun, but also frustrating. Happy to hear you're wanting to move back to the convenience of brushless power. -Brett
I’m pretty sure this is the next big purchase for me besides a ProBoat 36/48 Zelos for summer. I’m literally considering selling my X-Maxx for one of these beasts. Great look at it. It looks awesome in the fox decals.
I raced Losi for about 4yrs XXX graphite are great trucks from 20yrs ago I won well over 30 trophy's with one Sadly I can't afford to race anymore due to injuries to my back and most of my body LOSI IS THE BEST IN MY OPINION AND EXPERIENCE 👍✌️
You bet. In a way, it's much more serious; with the potential for large scale glory, or great amounts of pain if it hits you. It had my hands shaking when I drove it. -Brett
I just bought a Traxxas 4tec 2.0 xl5 and I can’t wait till it comes in!!! It’s arriving late but they look so fun! This 1/5 buggy is my next purchaseee
I’m pretty sure this is the next big purchase for me besides a ProBoat 36/48 Zelos for summer. I’m literally considering selling my X-Maxx for one of these beasts. Great look at it. It looks awesome in the fox decals. I wonder if they would release a 5T electric 2.0 type truck that would be cool
I love this thing I’ve had mine for 3 months but I did beat the crap out of it, I ripped every rubber boot, ripped a tire in half, blew the rear diff in two peace’s, but even still I love this thing. The one thing you will want to do when you get one is to put thread lock on the pin gear on the motor that was the first they to come loose and scared the crap out me since it was my first run with it.
Get you some of that heavy duty packing tape that has the strings in it. Kinda like the stuff Amazon uses to close their packages. Put that around the inside of the tires and it'll help with the ballooning. Some... Lol. Just make sure it sticks really good. The better the adhesion. The better it works.
....and yeah, just to inform the whole world, I finally got it and it is indeed massive and I don‘t want to run it because it is such a shiny beauty...
Jean Cena I have seen the Fox version so often, that in the meantime, I find the Losi version nicer. And in the meantime I was able to run it, which I can prove here: ruclips.net/video/n1cOIpN6ouI/видео.html it is a crazy beast.
There was a 1.0 of these new at the LHS like 10 years ago, and we totally thought the wheel nuts had some sort of security lock on them because you COULD NOT get them loose 😂

I love my desert buggy. I bought mine while I was in Korea. Sadly it was way more expensive then buying here in the states. But I use to sit on my little trailer and drive myself around with my buggy. Very fun and still did about 40mph with me on it
I really enjoyed your video, and how well you explained most of the details regarding this vehicle. I would have liked to know about the light-bar, and whether the lights provide enough illumination to drive it at full speed, in a a vast and dark space. And thank you so much for not allowing any ads to interfere with your review.
Hey Robert. It's probably not bright enough to be driving full speed at night. The light probably doesn't shine that far ahead of the vehicle for safe, full-speed driving. -Brett
I purchased one secondhand. Love it. BUT it came with a MAX4 12s combo and 25 tooth pinion! Insane amount of power. On the stock tires it just starts spinning and goes nowhere 😂
This is my "Dream RC". I think Losi makes great quality RC myself. Is this expensive, i guess, depends on where you place quality in terms of cash. I will be buying this RC this year with Christmas Bonus, alone with New Servo upgrades. Also will use ADU for upgrades throughout the coming year. I been wanting this for 3 years, since seen 1 in LHS. Will post a video when she arrives, will make a YY Channel around this RC, and upgrades I slowly do.
Well, thanks, I think I need one now! Great videos by you, always! May the RC market explode so that we have more and more cool products like this one! Awesome, awesome job! 💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️!!!
Awesome look at this beast Brett! This one is on my list, it was my next big rc to get but the 8s kraton came out n had to get it, so this ones one I want soon
i had to use a socket and breaker bar on my wheel nuts! broke a front dogbone! $43 for the bone! i recommend raising the brake force to at least 70% and punch level to 100%. it is a beast!
@@AMain_Hobbies No! i was bashing and broke the dogbone thats when i had to remove the wheel and found out how tight it was... The dogbone broke at the cv joint it seems to be the weak spot. the cup should break before this expensive dog bone with a swivel joint breaks. IJS!

Ha! Yeah... it's not cheap, but as a huge, high performance vehicle, it packs a lot of punch for the more experienced user. Check out the 1/10 scale version of this buggy; www.amainhobbies.com/losi-tenacity-db-pro-1-10-rtr-4wd-brushless-desert-buggy-fox-racing-los03027t2/p1051817 -Brett
I finally ran my version one I bought for Christmas for 600 bucks. It's really fun but the servo is terrible! Took forever to get the beast to turn. Will be getting a hitec really soon.
I own this ride. it's badass, if you on the fence don't be. Losi light bars suck though. LED bar on both my DBLXe and my SBR have both failed and both are only months old. Get this, Losi don't warranty their light bars. A $1000 toy and they don't warranty the light bars, they are happy to sell you more but no warranty. If you can live with this kind of BS from Losi then get a DBLXE, if you want a company that warrants your product against defects the get something else. My model shop replaced my light bars on his own dime. Losi, you need to handle this BS.
i never could find a way to turn off the lights. I kept looking for a switch to do that. Plus the stock transmitter SUCKS. Im definitely putting my futaba in it.
What's the price of this ready to turn on and drive? Also why is it not for racing ? I'm gonna build a motocross style track at home. Would this be better or this? Losi RC Truck 1/6 Super Baja Rey 2.0 4WD Brushless Desert Truck RTR, King Shocks
You could race it and the car would be great for a backyard track. At the time of the video, Losi made 1/5 race kits which is why I said this one wasn't for racing; for proper r/c racing, you'd want the kit, although, you could compete with this too. -Brett
I am in loveeee, I did have a Hpi Baja 5b and that was and still my personal favorite... too bad that I already bought a Katron 6s (still not arrived) before seen this monster :(.... if I didnt buy the Kraton I would definitely would have bought this one
Maybe a stupid question but as a bigscale driver who drives fg models with mixed fuel engines, what is the main reason why to choose for an electric powered rc model? Are electric powered models more dirt resistant? As for speed I know that electric powered models can be as fast or even faster as fuel powered models. The main reason I choose fuel powered is because I like the sound, and the smell of those models
Nitro R/C vehicles require a lot of maintenance to keep the clutch fresh, exhaust gaskets, air filters etc. Most small nitro engines are very tunable on the low, mid and high end, and idle, so it can be difficult to tune for beginners. Beginners also tend to be less patient with engine break-in, leading to even more tuning difficulty and overall poor engine performance. With an electric vehicle, just turn it on and it runs battery after battery, being much easier and more convenient. We always recommend people start with electric, learn the fundamentals and then upgrade to nitro down the road if that's what they want. -Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies ah that's why, thank you for the answer. I never had an nitro car, because my dad told me that nitro is difficult to get running and the maintenance. That's why I started with an fg marder. In my opinion the mixed fuel is easy to run and in maintenance. My girlfriend bought an electric 1/10 Traxxas and it's easy but I miss the gasoline smell and sound with that model ;) but still fun to run
It looks like a great car but we haven't used it. We've used the electric version plenty with success but haven't had the chance to play with the K&N. -Brett
Cmon horizon. Stop including that garbage tx with premium vehicles. I get it in a $199 cheapo but you can spend an extra $20 for a car that costs over a grand.....
Stuck here at home due to the Coronavirus closures, watching your videos dreaming of what I want to buy from Amain. But having to make do with the vehicles I already have because who knows when I'll be allowed to go back to work or if there will be a job to go back too? 😪😥
@@AMain_Hobbies Yeah thanks, I still have a list of parts I need/want to order. So the minute a few sheckles come thru I will be back. Thanks for the videos.
Video is well done and that buggy sure does look nice but I can't think of spending $1100 on one rc. Next time, you guys should talk about how much replacement parts cost.
I bought a xmaxx and batteries. 1500 bucks. That was 3 years ago. Gave away all my other smaller cars to friends. Haven’t touched them since. Point is, these are worth every penny. 1/4 scale electric on 8s is sick. Forget little hills, now you can climb mountains.
Yo thats crazy i didnt know yall were from Chico i am too ive always watched the channel and thought to myself what if i saw you in public and now i have a higher chance now that i knkw your in chico
Yea, for the most part it's been positive and I believe he still has the car. I know he upgraded the servo, motor and esc at one point for more power. One issue was the pinion gear coming loose and disengaging from the motor shaft, which removes the ability to accelerate and brake. I believe he started using heavier duty loctite on the pinion gear set screw. It's a great car though and demands a healthy amount of space to roam free. -Brett

Are tires saposed to balloon out like that? When ever I see that I always thought maybe there was a band that snapped or somethin
Yeah it's normal for tires to balloon. How much they balloon depends on how much power the vehicle has and how thick the rubber tires are.

Maybe a stupid question but as a bigscale driver who drives fg models with mixed fuel engines, what is the main reason why to choose for an electric powered rc model? Are electric powered models more dirt resistant? As for speed I know that electric powered models can be as fast or even faster as fuel powered models. The main reason I choose fuel powered is because I like the sound, and the smell of those models
Nitro R/C vehicles require a lot of maintenance to keep the clutch fresh, exhaust gaskets, air filters etc. Most small nitro engines are very tunable on the low, mid and high end, and idle, so it can be difficult to tune for beginners. Beginners also tend to be less patient with engine break-in, leading to even more tuning difficulty and overall poor engine performance. With an electric vehicle, just turn it on and it runs battery after battery, being much easier and more convenient. We always recommend people start with electric, learn the fundamentals and then upgrade to nitro down the road if that's what they want.

@@AMain_Hobbies ah that's why, thank you for the answer. I never had an nitro car, because my dad told me that nitro is difficult to get running and the maintenance. That's why I started with an fg marder. In my opinion the mixed fuel is easy to run and in maintenance. My girlfriend bought an electric 1/10 Traxxas and it's easy but I miss the gasoline smell and sound with that model ;) but still fun to run
What do you think about the K&N gas/2stroke version?
It looks like a great car but we haven't used it. We've used the electric version plenty with success but haven't had the chance to play with the K&N.

Cmon horizon. Stop including that garbage tx with premium vehicles. I get it in a $199 cheapo but you can spend an extra $20 for a car that costs over a grand.....

I use my makita 1/4 impact driver to get those kinds of nuts out. Hehe. I also use it for my hex drivers carefully 👍
Great tip!

Stuck here at home due to the Coronavirus closures, watching your videos dreaming of what I want to buy from Amain.
But having to make do with the vehicles I already have because who knows when I'll be allowed to go back to work or if there will be a job to go back too? 😪😥
Awh man, sorry to hear you can't work. We hope you are safe and healthy though, and enjoy the videos!
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies Yeah thanks, I still have a list of parts I need/want to order. So the minute a few sheckles come thru I will be back. Thanks for the videos.
Jesus the buggy looks insane! 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Video is well done and that buggy sure does look nice but I can't think of spending $1100 on one rc. Next time, you guys should talk about how much replacement parts cost.
Yea that is expensive!! Gotta pay to play lol
I bought a xmaxx and batteries. 1500 bucks.
That was 3 years ago.
Gave away all my other smaller cars to friends. Haven’t touched them since.
Point is, these are worth every penny. 1/4 scale electric on 8s is sick.
Forget little hills, now you can climb mountains.
So why does it oversteer so much? Is the front suspension adjustable for camber and toe?
Yes to both. The car has a fully adjustable independent suspension.

Very nice & informative video!
Yo thats crazy i didnt know yall were from Chico i am too ive always watched the channel and thought to myself what if i saw you in public and now i have a higher chance now that i knkw your in chico
Come say hi if you do and be sure to check out our R/C track next to Costco.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies yeah for sure man keep grinding
How's the buggy holding up so far?
Everything all right in the long-term?
Yea, for the most part it's been positive and I believe he still has the car. I know he upgraded the servo, motor and esc at one point for more power. One issue was the pinion gear coming loose and disengaging from the motor shaft, which removes the ability to accelerate and brake. I believe he started using heavier duty loctite on the pinion gear set screw. It's a great car though and demands a healthy amount of space to roam free.

@Vape N Clash Replacing the electronics is by choice, not necessity.
