Just a note, Fox Head and Fox Tail are two different companies. Fox Head (found on the 1/10 scale) is an apparel and gear company, while the Fox Tail is a suspension company.
I think for the $$$ the Arrma Kraton 8S BLX 1/5th-Scale you reviewed, appeared to perform better all around, more stable in the turns, and in the air, landings were better...Just my opinion, and its cheaper. I think I prefer 1/10 scale overall too, just more affordable for a weekend warrior like me to be able to keep it running and have backup parts and batteries on hand, extra wheels and tires, etc..
This truck looks awesome! I have the K&N gas version. What's the run time? I have a Kraton 8s and Outcast 8s and I run 2 4s 9000mah lipos. I get close to an hour or a bit more, and that's with aggressive driving.
I want to buy one and look at it in amazement and awe. I just love how squeeky clean a rc is out of the box....but this one is i guess truly something special. Maybe i should grow some tegrity to get me one of these

You need a bigger park to truly enjoy that. No way you even got half throttle in those locations. I suggest picking up a Team Associated DB8. I just got one (even though the DBXL is on my wish-list), and for the money, it can't be beat. Also, it'll fit better ion your driving locations.
Hey all, I'm very new at this whole R/C world. Just started looking at stuff this week. I'm very happy I came upon your page here, Greg. Just a couple questions to start, if you don't mind. So, what would be your best advice for someone seeking a nice entry level hobby level rc car? I'm really liking the crawlers, especially the new Traxxas Bronco, I just love hiking the trails near my home town and crawlers seem kind of up my alley. Although, how could anyone not desire something fast? So of course the bashers are an attractive option, too. What I don't know is, does anyone think that a Senton or Hoss would be overkill for me to start with? Thanks
Looks great and fun. I’ve had a xxle2 for a while so needless to say I can’t imagine dropping money on anything Losi. Hope I’m proven wrong cause this looks like a winner
I want one and you would think living in Mich you would have a place to run a huge rc like this but they are hard to find here. If I did, like a gravel pit, etc it would be purchased today. Great review thnx
Just checking is there a fuse or something because I rolled mine and now it does not power up. Bought it used and was running great. Has a lot of add on cooling fans.
I have this and here is my personal experience with it. 1) The stock spektrum servo is junk. Broke within the first 10 minutes of 2nd set of batteries. 2) While I love the wing on the back, it's pretty ridgid and didn't last long. 3) Watch out for trees that move into the path of travel, it breaks stuff. 4) Keep the punch level at 4, the motor stays cooler longer. 5) Avc is at 100%, keeps it straight at full throttle. 6) Don't hit yourself with it, it freaking hurts. 7)Find the most open space to run this thing because it is heavy and takes a lot longer to stop. If you need to stop quickly from full speed, forget it, ain't happening. 8) Use 100c rated batteries, that is the recommended rating. 9) Start buying extra parts, you'll need them. 10) Upgrade from the stock transmitter, it's two channel and the receiver is 6 channels. Other than those things, it's a damn fun rc 1/5 scale.
@@27ups The actual parts that have broke that wasn't caused by an accident, were the rear diff bearing which also destroyed the rear diff housing. All the spektrum electronics except the motor. The replacement servo (can't think of the brand right now),Tires didn't last too long, The foam inserts came apart. Both front drive shafts ( set screw came out and it ruin the shafts). Everything else that's broken has been from me hitting shit. But it's finally starting to sink in to go to a wide open area to run it.
That’s one thing that aggravates me. The top of the line car why isn’t the radio the top of line radio With all the bells and whistle’s. Great video awesome production I don’t know how you get through all the tech you’ve got to be like chomping at the bit the whole time I couldn’t get through it go to big shiny toy right in front of me and I can’t make it go I guess that’s why you were the RUclips guy and I’m not. 🙏
this is built a lot like the tlr 8ight e 4.0 and i have one of the 8ight e 4.0 and love it its my favorite racer . i think this is going to be my new basher . just need to sale my 1/10 yeti and my yeti xl
Love your RCs man I am new to the RC world I bought a Redcat Rampage V-3 and a big box of upgrades and want to put smaller wheels on it. Are there any wheels that you can just bolt onto the truck without modifying the bead lock wheels?
I know this and X-maxx are different, but i'm looking at getting a larger RC, This one, the Arma and the X-maxx are the 3 i'm looking at. Which one would you lean to if you just lite bashing and just having fun? Plus I love to upgrade parts as well. Thanks, great vid as always.
@rc_driver Solid review and bash with the V2! How much run time did you get with the those batteries? I could only find the 50C Spektrums when I snagged mine. Just looking for feedback. Thanks.
Do you think those bottom A-arm hinge pin bushings will last? Are they plastic bushings? I've had bad experience with the helion four10tr bushings always breaking and coming out, Im just cautious. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated👍👍👍😁 oh and by the way I absolutely love the look of this thing and I really want it as my next car. Best video yet!!
damn I think between the 8s Kraton xmaxx and this Dbxle I think think I'd go with this one!! Seems like the more beefy, well made truck compared to those other 2.
@@rgr4475 Definitely. I don't think this is as capable a basher as those 2 but just seems really well made! (Not saying the other 2 aren't) Its just really pricey.
@@cwatson42785 It is very well made. The price was tough to swallow but glad a pulled the trigger. It looks the best out compared to the other 2 and truly rips. It was worth the price for me.
How safe are lipo batteries?what's the chance they explode or catch fire? It's my only thing stopping me from buying the set up. I'd be paying about $1500 after taxes and for unit,batteries and a battery bag
There’s always a possibility like with any lithium battery, even in everyday household electric powered items in your home. But if you follow all the precautions and best charging practices the chances would be extremely rare. Spektrum’s Smart battery systems were developed to reduce those chances even more.
Buenas! Como se puede limpiar todo el coche por fuera y por dentro después de usarlo en tierra y barro para dejarlo como nuevo y así manterlo bien sin estropear nada?
Hello, I just had a DBXL-E 2.0 delivered on 1-27-20. My buggy arrived looking ok, but on power-up the pinion and spur gears are grinding like a cement mixer. On the bench it goes. I found a bent front drive shaft. It shows .030 thousands bend on the dial indicator. That means .015 bend. Looking further the 4mm metal plate has a .080 thousands upward bow in it. No idea how this can happen being shipped. Can you put a straight edge on yours and see if yours may be bowed. Im getting ready to straighten things up. Contact for repairs has started, but im in wait mode. I took video of the work checking the buggy.
Well I was ready to buy this until more research revealed that even with 8s Lipos it only has 12 minutes run time, The Xmaxx nearly doubles that, the DBX-LE 2.0 obviously weighs A LOT more.
Idk if you tried them but how would you compare the dynamite set to lets say the ddm set? how are the smaller bits? I use mip mostly but as your aware no larger bits lol.
TrashCanNinja I never had the DDM set. This set it pretty good, even the smaller bits. Not a huge fan of the ball head bits in the set, they kill hardware pretty quick even at just a slight angle. The straight bits have worked well. I’ve had this set for a while and it does the job.
@@rcdriver I think you do lol. I pre ordered the Kraton, passing on the 2.0. The 2.0 seems limited on challenging surfaces, bumps/jumps etc cause of tire size. Fine for parks but for a grand you wanna hammer on em like a X Maxx.
If you are looking to jump and put it to more irregular terrain the answer is Xmaxx or kraton, if you are looking to run on track and on open terrain at full speed and with a more stable handling losi is your answer. The best thing would be to have both options but they are very expensive. I chose the losi as my first choice and it will be my first powerful RC
I'm buying 2 of these and strapping them onto my feet.
Yeth
They'll probably swipe right out from underneath you
@@LeroyJenkins781 Never fear, the ground will catch him.
Nice roller skates. With suspension. What could possibly go wrong?
Oh I bet
Just a note, Fox Head and Fox Tail are two different companies. Fox Head (found on the 1/10 scale) is an apparel and gear company, while the Fox Tail is a suspension company.
Hmmmm is that true ?
@@mrtambourineman6107 Yes... And you could have just looked yourself.
For the price I paid it was worth it this is an awesome R/C tons of fun!!
1/5 scale is pretty interesting.
I've actually held this RC car before and it's massive pretty heavy too
@Rafael Judah I tried it! It didn’t work!
Wow that thing rips. It makes me miss my Losi 5T. Great upload 🤟🏻✌🏻
I just purchased one today it's my first Losi 😊💪🏿💯🏁🏁🔥🔥
This makes me wish Axial would bring back the Yeti and Yeti XL or even the EXO TERRA, I just liked those and they looked awesome!!
mike s the wltoys 10428 is a similar option to the axial yeti.
mike s you can still find them used and still get parts. I still have a yeti and a yeti score. Had a exo but was a pain to work on.
The yeti xl was a turd
Beautiful intro I’m now going to get one I leaning towards the truck version but the DBXL is the way to go thanks for sharing
I was looking at a Kraton 8s or this and I think the dbxle 2.0 is winning! Great review Greg!
Tough choice, the Losi is a blast! Thanks for watching! 😎
Exactly the review I was looking for👌 Thanks Greg👍👍
I buy in same color, waiting for delivery. Can't wait.
Adolfo Múnera Nice!
Wish I knew this was coming out would have never spent 700 on a damn super Baja Rey
I got this on a trade. Came with a castle xl x and the second day the esc caught fire. Ended up getting the stock esc and so far so good.
Got mine the other day, and I just love it!!! Got it mainly after watching this video as before that I haven't paid it a thought really.
How is it holding up
@@IINVICTA very good. Got a few videos on my channel
@@ThatSwedishGuy How is it now?
@@kasparov937 still one of my favourite cars
@That Swedish Guy would u buy this again or go for something else like the xrt
As usual, great review! This car is sick, I want one.
Idk about you but with all the releases this year it has to be my favorite year in rc. Only thing we need is a licensed single axel monster truck.
I think the Redcat Ground Pounder and the Tamyia Clod are the only solid axle monster trucks out. Unless you can find an HPI WheelyKing.
Primal Monster truck is solid axle . But it's in a class all it's own.
I think for the $$$ the Arrma Kraton 8S BLX 1/5th-Scale you reviewed, appeared to perform better all around, more stable in the turns, and in the air, landings were better...Just my opinion, and its cheaper. I think I prefer 1/10 scale overall too, just more affordable for a weekend warrior like me to be able to keep it running and have backup parts and batteries on hand, extra wheels and tires, etc..
awesome review Greg, buggy looks super smooth to drive.
This truck looks awesome! I have the K&N gas version. What's the run time? I have a Kraton 8s and Outcast 8s and I run 2 4s 9000mah lipos. I get close to an hour or a bit more, and that's with aggressive driving.
I want to buy one and look at it in amazement and awe. I just love how squeeky clean a rc is out of the box....but this one is i guess truly something special. Maybe i should grow some tegrity to get me one of these
Me too. I thought I was kinda weird.
I bought one and love the thing I literally sat for two hours just staring at the buggy.
That thing is a beast! I’m a big fan of the 🦊 my Traxxas UDR is the 🦊 happy bashing and happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 this is one of my favorite spots to RC when it’s off-season for the bikers 🚴♀️
You need a bigger park to truly enjoy that. No way you even got half throttle in those locations. I suggest picking up a Team Associated DB8. I just got one (even though the DBXL is on my wish-list), and for the money, it can't be beat. Also, it'll fit better ion your driving locations.
i love how you dont even take the big stones of the track not many people abuse a car harder than me

Hey all, I'm very new at this whole R/C world. Just started looking at stuff this week. I'm very happy I came upon your page here, Greg. Just a couple questions to start, if you don't mind. So, what would be your best advice for someone seeking a nice entry level hobby level rc car? I'm really liking the crawlers, especially the new Traxxas Bronco, I just love hiking the trails near my home town and crawlers seem kind of up my alley.

What I don't know is, does anyone think that a Senton or Hoss would be overkill for me to start with? Thanks
Just picked one up how do you feel about this Losi one year later
Outstanding video, you're a master of your craft! Thanks soo much for the detailed information really appreciated.
This is my favorite car...maybe someday I get one. Nice vid, thank you
Looks great and fun. I’ve had a xxle2 for a while so needless to say I can’t imagine dropping money on anything Losi. Hope I’m proven wrong cause this looks like a winner

Did anybody else see the hobby lobby “Christmas is what you make it” commercial? That one got me
Very awesome buggy
so many upgrades from the original losi 5ive. omg

love this review!! would you say the losi dbxle 2.0 is still one of the top dawgs even with the new releases out?
That BMX track looks just like the one I used to race at in Bethel, CT. 🤔🤣
Just checking is there a fuse or something because I rolled mine and now it does not power up. Bought it used and was running great. Has a lot of add on cooling fans.
Thanks for sharing fella. Great comprehensive review. 👌
I really like the 1/10 scale next to it. 1/5th look great but I think it is way too expensive to keep it running (like lots of Back up batteries)
That’s why I bought a gasser
Hi,
Very grateful to you. Did you ever run 2 full battery pack back to back in hot weather without damaging the battery?
Thank you
This is a VERY detailed review in my opinion. Good job!
I have this and here is my personal experience with it.
1) The stock spektrum servo is junk. Broke within the first 10 minutes of 2nd set of batteries.

What's the run time and can you drop another battery in it right away your do you got to let it cool down
As much as these cost it should come with a second set of nobby tires. Those tires are for a manicured packed track or the street.
That thing is a monster!!!!
Wow what a huge RC ..Like you said the can is the size of a soda can...
Are the electronics different from the first version?
I want one so bad can't wait to get one for myself soon as I can.
This one or the Super Rock Rey for blasting around - no real bashing/massive jumping?
What is a average run time you get when bashing say in the 1st section if the video on the jump section? Great vid btw
About 15-45min. Depents on the lipo volume

Is the E version faster than the gas or it just look like it.
I didn't hear or see any comments on the heat of the motor, how was it?
How does this compare to the Losi Super Rock Rey?
That's a monster. Much love from California.
Which do you like best SBR 2.0 or the DBXLE 2.0? I can not find a comparison video.

You won't regret it! 😎👍
What's the small version called been looking and can't find a dbxl 1/10
Great review. For a $1000 the car looks like you'll be wrenching on it a lot for what most will be using it for.
If you're broke just say it. If you don't act a nut job with it by jumping cliffs it's a good tough rc for how big it is.

It has a much bigger motor.
Every basher wants you to jump that asphalt curve at full tilt! So it jumps about 15’ plus!! Then we will know what it can handle! 😂

Is 20mil center diff and 1mill front and rear to much for off road racing?
Looks very good but price tag is hefty.
If i went bigger than the udr would that be better than a gas powered truck or not
The plastic parts and body on my X Maxx hold up much better than the aluminum parts on my losi dbxl. The aluminum parts bend when there is any impact.
👍🏾 its juicy on the track
Sct e version? Only place I can find , is cross the pond in England..
Ne ideas?
