Losi Short Course Buggy

[TWINSET]

Just found this on Modelsport

2:43 onwards

Losi released first information on the new XXX-SCB line of realistic looking 1/10 scale 2WD RTR Short Course buggies. The off-road cars base on Losi's highly successful XXX platform and sport Short Course truck dimensions with a total length of 510mm and a width of 290mm. The buggies come with a 2.4GHz radio system, LM-32K brushed motor and LiPo-compatible speed controller. Ball bearings and oil-filled shocks as well as a scale-looking buggy bodyshell round off the package. Looking at the pictures it also seems that the SCB sports realistic front and tail lights as optional parts! Available soon in different liveries.

Wheelbase: 12.95 in (329mm)

It'd look pretty silly - there's about 80mm difference in wheelbase

Shame they made the body kit so very ugly.

But that is how they look. They did a good job of recreating the feel.

[TWINSET]

And it coulda looked a lot worse

Maybe Traxxas might get involved too;

While i was picking up some paint ect from the store i was having a look in this months RC Racer . Came across Losi's new SC / Buggy . Wow i just have to get one of these .

[TA-Mark]

It's very similar to this one from HPI: Apache C1

And this one from Axial: EXO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rloaAhhGmfY

Tamiya doesn't have anything close to these modern true to scale buggys.

Equipped with a 35A brushless system, oil filled shocks, and fully adjustable suspension, this 1/10 2WD Desert Buggy is ready to tear up your local track!

The Turnigy 2WD Desert Racing Buggy performs just as good as it looks. Its 3300KV brushless motor provides plenty of torque, and an impressive top speed. On a 2S lipo, it will pull the front wheels off the ground easily when running on pavement, but this machine really shows its capabilites off road, tearing through the corners and soaring over jumps.

The Turnigy Desert Buggy comes almost ready to run, just add a 2S lipo batttery, 2CH radio system, and you are set to go!

*This buggy features a full metal gear transmission and adjustable slipper clutch

Not suggesting in any way its as good as the Losi, but it doesn't look bad for the money, worst case you take the brushless out if the buggy breaks !

[TWINSET]

but it doesn't look bad for the money

It looks an awful lot like the Kyosho buggy

Too much like it... it's like an old 50's horror movie: "Invasion of the Buggy Snatchers"!
