Everytime im ready to pull the trigger on the DBXLE for myself, I see videos like this one and I just lose interest in it and stay with my X-Maxx and jump with it all day long without a problem. thanx for the video..Stay Safe
no way could those landings have broke that, must have been weak or even cracked to start with surely. shame :( i really like seeing this losi running. nice short blast anyway for what you did, the new fan and dual servos working a treat!
One of the guys I bash with sends his DBXLE 2.0 without fear. Did a backflip last weekend! Had to be over 15‘ up to do that. Mine is still new to me so I’m more cautious. Have a XLX2/1100 combo in but about to take it apart to put in the Vitavon front and rear diff bulkheads and center transmission case. FYI, The smallest gear the Vitavon transmission will take is 18t. Learning from you and seeing how you are doing things. (I mounted my esc sideways like you did so I was happy to see you solve it the same way I did) Now I might order the Vitavon hubs after seeing your breakage. Thanks for this series, it’s coming at a perfect time for my build. Hurricane
G'day Earl, I just bought one of these, just over $1800 bucks here in Australia, its alot of coin for an rtr rc, interesting to see how it goes. Usually Losi are constructed pretty good. Ive also got a Losi eight x/e 2.0 coming, going to set it up as a nitro woth a OS B2104 and T2100 pipe combo.
I can’t even imagine I’m at 1:8 scale with a crawler/trail Rc. & it’s much heavier then my 1:10 scale ones. I would think the weight is what would make it break easier but it doesn’t matter how expensive or pretty they are you gotta use them & as they say shit happens. My guess is people without a clue probably think what an idiot he broke it again. We’ll ya you go out use it as it was intended & crap just breaks. Today I took my newest crawler out after going though & checking everything upgrading stuff & first run the rear drive shaft comes apart. I wouldn’t call it breaking because a pin & small spring came off so I just contacted the manufacturer with part #s & will be back on the rocks. But I know exactly where it came off & was putting it through its paces. Thankfully I had another Rc with me ready to go. Nice rig though. Keep taking them out & ya its a bummer when they break but the constant smile on my face makes it all worth it.
That was quick 😵💫 sorry for that, i changed my hubs right out of the box, VITAVON for rear are best, i would change the front assembly too, TLR parts are available everywhere 👍 hope to see it soon on track ….. next would be the diffs bearings, will not last long on dirt 🤷🏻♂️ steering is perfect 👍👍👍
I want money back on this episode🤬 I just finished making my coffee and haven't even drank it and you're BROKE ALREADY oh wait it's a LOSI you're already broke from expensive repairs😂🤣
I did inspect the rc but lucky I’ve broke the front hub and you know Losi you have to buy everything so I have a rear hub in stock I’ll use for now see if it hold up 👍👍
Crazy vid , it’s an awesome buggy just heavy 👍👍 I gotta ask u what’s the best controller to buy that’s not crazy in price but can combine some of my RCs ???
Wow….. sorry about the breakage E….. that always S~~ks…… you should get one of those collapsible red wagons and put the Losi in it and tow it with your X-Max…… so if this happens again…. You have your own AAA tow truck with you….. just a thought…..🙂👍🏻😎
I have a traxxas 4x4 ultimate I basically got for free.. and I've spent more time fixing it than running it.. its called the free thousand dollar car.. hahahha.. I feel your pain earl..
Finally did it, ordered mine and it came Yesterday. It looks like it left the factory without anyone even testing it. Steering is out of wack, front wheels the top is leaning in and the back wheels one is leaning inward at the top and the other is leaning inward at the top...other than that its all good. Going to watch all good DBXLE videos. I just ordered the DX5c controller and the extra servo and links for the dual servo setup. Any tips? Im all ears....Thanx in Advance, Stay Safe.
Hope all is well Earl. That landing needed to be leveled out my man. 30lb RC needs to land on all fours and you will see this buggy is just as durable as any 5B or 5T. Curious as to why you are driving with a 100$ controller? You have such wonderful builds !!!!!!! - U are selling yourself short my friend.... Its a great controller no doubt but ever since I got my Futaba 7pxr and saw how it transformed my RCs - especially my DBXLE & CenXT and my 1/8GT drag cars - It will be the last controller I buy for a looong time. I have two receivers in my trucks - one for if Im running with my son (Dx-5 pro) and the futaba for me. I just switch the plugs - ez.
Nice build, that’s some quality parts! Sorry about that breakage but a good opportunity to upgrade! Are you in OC? I’ve been looking for people to bash with 👍
You sounded so excited to go run! And then that,sorry😒😔Your losi reminds me of my hpi baja 5b ss I had for 13 years(sold 3 years ago). 10 years ago rpm made good stuff! Aluminum upgrade the only option now!
Wow brother i have the same truck for almost a year now and only thing that happend to me was i lost the pins on the drive cups lol didnt break anything though
Yeah, it seems like that shouldn’t have broken. A lot of money in that thing to begin with out of the box, but yeah, I guess the engineers didn’t plan for earplug diff limiters. Looking forward to the aluminum hubs next. Likely followed by aluminum control arms.
I was having issues with my diffs after I locked the rear and put 50k in the front of the Mojave.. broken diff pins, drive cups, stripped ring gears. I went back to lighter oils and all seems well now.
I hate those heavy and very hard proline badlands 4.3. I tried them on my X-Maxx and it would break more often. Even with small jumps. I much prefer the duratrax lockups x 24mm belted tires. Softer, smaller and lighter. They do become unglued once in a while though. Great bash as usual bud.
Duratrax tire are terrible if you have the xlx2 1100kv motor setup. I kept blowing the glue off the rims on my set of duratrax tires. The Badlands belted i bought were perfect. Never had any issues with them even with 18 tooth pinion on motor going balls out.
@earlmoorhead5555 yea those tires were $100 a pair. $200 total. Believe me I tried other brands but they just didn't hold up at all. The Badlands were worth the money because a year later they still going strong. I don't do any crazy big jumps like I see other people on RU-vid doing. I play hard but not to hard. Lol.
remember these are 15-20kg ...could be more depending on what batterys you use. Personally, if going to be bashing/jumping, i would at minimum, upgrade arms/hubs all around to alloy along with chassis braces.
@@earlmoorhead5555 I’m leaning that way, I’ve had a revo 3.3 back in the day and loved it, can’t say the about the savage XL I had. My Baja 5B SS was another favorite I used to have.
My brand new dbxl e 2.0 broke the same exact hub but only difference is a arrma infraction slammed into my rear right wheel going 80 mph I am super surprised with how the dbxl held up to that accidentally happening now let’s just say the infraction didn’t make it out as well as the losi did 😂
I have an all original LST and LST 2. They still look and run great. I don’t buy Losi anymore because they discontinue all their vehicles. I mean it’s their right to do so, but I don’t want to deal with it anymore. I stick to Arrma and Traxxas because in general they don’t.
E revo 2.0 is the most durable 1/8 scale (even if they call it 1/10) after aluminum brace and 85mm limiting straps I think it’s more durable than m2c full Kraton 6s. The issue with all the metal hop ups is added weight literally exploding the rear end of Kraton 6/8s (breaking suspension arms, bending shock rods, broken bulk heads, etc) but you need the metal to stop them from constantly breaking or bending the chassis so it always ends up being in breakage limbo
@@earlmoorhead5555 dang, I’ve never had that happen! had a link bend pretty good but I just bent it back. Then again you have a shitload of A arm breaking rocks out there so I guess it’s not that crazy 🤣 here in Ohio the only thing that’ll snap a link is a bad landing 😅
@@earlmoorhead5555 hey earl, been watching hardcore for a while and just uploaded my first video thanks to you and the rest of the community being so helpful and close I’d like to be a part of it all. A view, sub, comment or anything would be greatly appreciated man. (Not the best video but I recorded it way before I planned to upload anything to RU-vid so take it easy on me haha) 🤙🏽😁
@@V8chump you can run a proper t2t brace and it will eliminate all those issues , I went through all same with the kraton but not the other arrmas after lots money and time you can trust what im saying , the flexing causes all those issues the rotational mass is too much and pushing the rc to the weight limits to begin with if you good and or hard driver once your kraton is set up to get power ground and sending it smaller wheels and brace is what needed , I was getting pist spent over 150 on just ring gears gpm hardened ect , my buddies with revos sold them immediately after bashing together with the arrmas it was not even close to the same levels of rc intensity. Litterly a overpowered toy compared to ground stomping bashing machine # tgey were the original revos. I wish I bought one bc sold as rollers cheap , I felt he just wasn't setting them up properly and way over powered , they came with kick ass castle motors .
Unless you landed on a big rock which it didn’t look like you did there’s no way this should of happened. I think anything manufactured from early 2019 until now has a high probability of quality control issues. And probably even some shotty engineering.
Maybe it already had a weak point… should have taken those jumps …bummer…Robb one carrier from the other DBXLE ??? Try 100 wt shock oil to absorb the weight??? Just a suggestion ✌️✌️✌️
Speedy repairs. I know the feeling. Mines been broken more than it's run. 2 front axles,2 esc's, 1 reciever, 1 servo,blown bearings taking out a diff case all within 6 months of owning it. And it's not driven nearly as hard as my xmaxx. Hands down the worst rc I've ever owned.
Why brake! Most people jump it like a xmax/monster trucks!! Thats a racer ? If u had a downslope so u dont bottom out !the mass the weight... Id say to others!dont copy wat the big jumpers do on you tube or check to see wat they reinforce onther rig..! Rockracer,desret truck ,truggy, the real size ones dont go that high, an if they do they land one a down slope. Less of an impact wen landing on downslope an your not stressing the oil out the shocks... The checking of loose screws from wen u get it out the box. Only if it was made in the USA it would be guaranteed tougher .
I had a whole series on this rc car as I explained in my series these rc cars just are not meant to be treated like a basher rc size weight and cost of quality parts will just destroy a very expensive rc so no reason as meeting up with bars& ton shows I explained the outcast 8s is better for him as it will kinda handle this abuse way better even tho the Losi held it own when he ran it the damage was done 750.00 in a rebuilt to get it right again 🤷🏻♂️ I tend to do series on all the rc cars and put together playlist of these series from buying them upgrades breaking them and finally a refresh 👍👍
