Not AE. At the same time, you forgot to include XRAY. Tekno is great...but, they only do 4WD (no 2WD, which kinda sucks). For dirt/clay, it's an even toss-up between TLR & Tekno. For astro/carpet, while TLR is a very good choice, XRAY is where it's at, as they REALLY 'know' astro/carpet.
Thanks Rich! I’m partial to yellow, and Team Associated, as my first RC10 stadium truck kit had yellow wheels. Watching a young Brian Kinwald, tear up local SoCal tracks, was always a reminder......the weakest link...is usually the driver! Never owned a Losi😎
It's weird - I always thought AE drivers had to use white wheels and TLR had to use yellow...then I saw Cavalieri (when he was with AE) running yellow (as he does now). I agree on the driver part!
I could've sworn I heard Angels sing when that box opened, haha. Looks nice! I'm looking forward to this being my 3rd TLR buggy (after the 22 5.0 DC Elite and 22X-4) later this year.
@@TheRCNetwork I looked online last night for wraithzilla stuff, but everything I wanted was out of stock. This pandemic has been harsh on the supply chain.
You'll have to dig around and see what's available still for a 2.0. TLR is now on the 5.0 version. Pro-Line and JConcepts probably had bodies at one point....The TLR buggies are always wider bodied cars, so likely the Mugen/Team Associated bodies may fit as well
@@TheRCNetwork No problem :) I need to get my old Team Durango DEX8 up and running for some bashing. I want to buy a few cars to build and display, I enjoy the building of them. This kit looks brilliant. I like all the quality metal parts.
"V" is five in roman numerals if that's what you're thinking.....Maybe "5.0" is a registered trademark of Ford? Who knows......but "X" didn't really make sense. Just like how Apple had the iPhone, iPhone 3G/S, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and then X. At least that meant "10"
Yellow duh lol, Ive got every generation nitro and electric, I’m writing a video on why Losi is the general best 1/8th in the industry, 13 years ago I was first one in Canada to have a “put together” brushless system and conversion from a guy online for my Losi 8ight T rr generation 1. Been working on a way to let people know the difference between machined aluminum and cast aluminum...
How can I tell the difference between machined aluminum vs cast!? I buy a lot of hop up parts but never thought about this. I bet GPM is using cast. Do you think Hot Racing and Losi Racing aluminum parts are also cast. My M2C parts I believe are machined.
I can't find anything that states otherwise...but typically you'll find sintered "pot metal" in $300 RTR's not $650 race buggies....When I stated that, I was referring to the bevel/pinions on the diffs....now the spider gears, not sure
@@TheRCNetwork oh okay yes the ring and pinion are definitely machine. You can tell sintered powdered metal from machine metal because powder metal parts will have rounded edges because they're coming out of a mold. CNC machine parts will have sharp corners. Also not all sintered parts are pot metal. Most powdered metal used in RC's today is actually steel and a lot of it's hardened. It's still not as good as CNC machine parts but it's a lot better than pot metal.
For me it doesn't matter . What ever I get, I use it. Just the fact that wheels are in the box is Awsome. Who has extra money these days to say I only run white wheels. Great unboxing buddy. I always look forward to your videos. I hope soon you will unbox the long awaited Tekno Et 48 2.0
