      Thanks man. I would pass on this one for sure. I’m hoping Vitavon will make the gearboxes/bulkheads if he does then this thing will get a lot of run and fun time. I have a brand new Holmes 2100kv motor for it and an esc on the way but I’m simply not going to waste much more time on this one.

      Well the manufacturers are run by people who have hypersonic missiles aimed out our countries, and have crumbled international manufacturing, down to the private citizen's ip. They also kill scientists warning about pandemics, because it makes beijing "look bad" - as if invading Hong Kong and Taiwan..arming kim jung um, and now doubling their Nuclear Stockpile to 800+ and hacking Militaries in countries arround the world, then copying their designs isn't enough. They even exploded real nuclear bombs some months ago, but no environmentalists say anything and they cause 30% of the worlds pollution. They try and hide everything, by any means necessary. Look it up, because you will never see someone saying this stuff.

    The issue is that's a 3s platform and the tires are oversized . I currently have the Tenacity DB pro and sct pro , no issues. When I saw the lazernut I thought it would have the 8ight diffs and drivetrain. Awesome rig but it should have been built on the 1/8 platform instead of an 3s 😎

    • @RUZTY1311
      @RUZTY1311 3 роки тому +2

      It's a 4s though. If you go 3s you need to change the pinion to a lower tooth. My buddy has one and did all the prep work with the diffs and changed the pinion to run 3s today and it ran perfect through 4 packs. I don't think a lot of people are having this issue.

    I've had mine just over a month and can't get 1 battery pack through it without something failing. First it was the RR wheel nut coming off and stripping the wheel hex, then just the other day both rear axles bent and one of the front king pins for the front bearing carrier came out. I really want to like this buggy since it handles and drives great when its actually working correctly. I'd stay away from this one until Losi decides to acknowledge that its a lemon and does right by the people who bought them.

    I was able to put five packs through my Lasernut... haven't been able to drive it now for almost a month... waiting for warranty parts.
    Had the same issue with the rear bearing. Also ruined a tire (and really screwed up another) as the right rear tire keeps spinning off when put under any real friction pressure (a donut on grass). I had it working ok with a replacement bearing and the "bad" tire (that still worked a bit) when a front CVD just BROKE. Now it's shelved.
    I was SO STOKED for this vehicle, now it's just disappointment; especially when I see that I'm having the same issues as everyone else. Rear Diff bearings, right rear tire, broken drive shafts... and I haven't even really gotten it out of my yard yet. I was hoping that it was just the grass that was too much for it... that maybe with these super grip tires you just need to make sure you keep it on a loose surface (especially on 3s) but now, seeing this video, it looks like that might not even be the problem. This thing is just under spec'd. Now, of course, Horizon has NO PARTS for it and I'm just sitting here... waiting...

    Any-hoo...I would throw it in a garbage bag and drop it on the counter you picked it up from ! DEMAND (your money) back !!
    That is B.S. that they have the audacity to put out a product like that, and then require $500 for it.
    Sad brother, I hope HORIZON is not planning on continuing this "loozer-nut" until they revise production -OR straight pull it from the shelves !! Uncalled for, they had to have tested this before release.
    Pure disappointment. 👎

I have almost every Arrma traxxas and old school cars out there. I just bought a son of a digger and this in carbon fiber. LOVE IT! Always tune with program box. I did keep my punch level low. 1-2 and still wheelies when I want it to but stays on the ground. Maybe that’s the secret, leave punch low. It still feels like punch is at 5. Absorbs curbs and rocks like there not there. And made me appreciate having bright lights. Only rc I drive in the dark.

    I just got the lasernut, ran a dozen battery's through it, breaks every time. I mean every time I take it out, something breaks, diff, steering, shocks, bearings, axles, wheels, control arms, hubs. I've had to buy hundreds of $$ in parts, bags and bags of parts to keep this thing rolling. 4s @ 100% is insane fast and hard to control, I'm often just 75% or even 50. Not a basher, rather fragile in my opinion.

It's hard to control but fun! I think Losi offers upgraded "heavy duty" diff gears that may solve the problem, but I haven't tried them. I also put a locker in the center diff, it really helps the handling (no more ballooning front tires while the rear tires do nothing, lol). Hope this helps!
