that's a decent saving too, I really like these, but I wonder if I'd end up getting bored?.. love My straight line blasters...but after a while I wanna rag it round a few sharp corners too, what's it like on the bends?
Available in the UK for £490 ish if folks don't want to import. They should sell a cheaper set without any steering functionality, it's redundant anyway?
You're one of the UK kings of RC living in the Midwest getting into the hobby in Missouri with no money your videos keep me pushing to find parts to Frankenstein my cars together and not just make them faster but just more fun Love the content keep it up mate
Me : **has barely enough money to maintain the cars I already have** Also me with my long list of cars I want : **yep here goes another one on the list**
If you wanna run the car that low get belted tires🤨 because They are still gonna rub and tear up the tire and eventually the tape. 😤 whoever designed the car needs kicked in the nuts.🤨
This is far from a no prep drag car! You have to buy the car, wait for it to arrive, unbox the car, charge the battery, take the body off to install the battery, put batteries in the transmitter, and take it outside to use in the street!! This is a ton of preparation to get racing. Horizon should be ashamed of themselves. LOL 😂
It means no preppie ppl allowed to drive it. Lol. As a rebellious teen, I hated "preppies". Nice vid as always mate. Personally Im mad its impossible for me to get some german n french rc makers in usa. Especially "Reely" make many rc I want, but its impossible to get in US.
That’s not what they mean by no prep they mean like no prep drag racing where you race the street or backwards on a race track so you start on the unprepared surface
It was a Playstation 5, that kicked off my RC habit. Now I have a Revo, Teton, Trx, VS4, YD-2 SXIII, TA dr10. Glad the scalpers got them all I am having fun outdoors!
It's now 1 year later (July 10, 2023) and I just bought this car, ready to run, from Amain for $149.99. The Losi 22s roller is only $69.99. I'm really not a drag racing fan so I plan to change wheels and tires and convert mine into a road-race car.
Drag cars definitely looking like tons of fun. So many RC’s on the never ending list to have. I’m not sure if I want the roller or rtr version when I get one. I agree 💯 the 1969 Camaro looks beautiful!!
My grandfather had the opportunity to be part owner of summit racing when they were in the process of getting the company started and refused the offer. If only he hadn't I couldn't imagine the types of life we would of loved. RIP
Awesome video! WOW!!! I just checked my nearest hobby store's website and they are retailing for $519.99 Canadian Dollars plus battery. At least in my part of Canada. Shows you how the pricing would vary from country to country and region to region.
Oh my gosh that was hilarious.. I’m happy you finally got your drag car. I finally got mine too , the Traxxas one. Your videos are what made me want to start running with the GPS and get that great Telemetry. Great video.
If it makes you feel any better, we can't get most of the hot hatches that you lot get. No GR Yaris here, we never got Cossie Fords or any of the good pugs either. We can't even get 3 door Fiestas. I guess they assume everyone who wants to go fast wants a V8. Oh well. Great video! Maybe Horizon will change their mind and send some muscle your way. Cheers!
NICEEEEEE... Now that's nice. Summit racing... Nice ... Summit is a good company... Honestly I'd love a model like this... One in metal... A full model... This is just gonna look good.. unfortunately.. it's probably not gonna be a GREAT drag racer... It's just beautiful. It actually ran pretty good... Good for you
I love my smart batteries find they last a long time and has good power delivery plus being able to watch the battery info is nice to keep it from over heating and catching fire but also use a DX5C controller which seems to be a good combination
That's nise the best looking drag car off the shelf love the SS looks so good better than all the others out there need it in the UK now wheels look so nise 👍
Such a beautiful 69 Camaro. The body detail is amazing. Great price, good electronics and its a Losi. 👍 The only improvement I can see is the rear tail light covers ?
It's a general Lee orange. Shouldn't be bad to touch up. I put a smart phone screen protector cut it in 4 peice and shoe gue or tuck it under or whatever
Love it and want one and that’s not terrible for shipping costs n I know E-Bay are good for there American imports and how fast 💨 45mph. I think it’ll be a bit of a squirmer on 3s? 🥴 Excellent speed n runs outta the box 🤩👍
I nearly got the Blue... but thought the Red with stickers was better for e camera. And because it’s got Summit on the side... which I bet Traxxas hate haha
I reckon it's because they think no prep drag racing has taken off in the US but not the UK. It will take off in the UK if you sell the bloody things over here. No prep racing is loads of fun. Are we too British to have fun?
A little fun fact, I would guess all of the sellers on Ebay say they ship world wide BUT about half of them WILL NOT ship to Alaska, my home, or Hawaii. A little known geography fact, the 49th and 50th states are not on the earth according sellers from China to the U.S.A.
Best I have seen one of these go was 2.38/2.45 and 46mph. Possible they don't think there is a market although drag racing is pretty well known not seen any organised for the UK.
Beautiful car. It must really get up and go with the 100 amp ESC and 6500kv Brushless Motor. Thanks for showing us all the features and details of this 69 Camaro. 👍👍
It doesn't. 64 mph on 3s then cuts out. I switched to the 130 amp they put on the tenacity and now it goes 71 before I have to let off cause of space constraints where I'm at
I agree on spectrum battery are a little high on price but I have been happy with how well they are holding up. After over 20 cycles I'm still at 1 each cell for resistant most batteries I have tested are more around 15 resistant after couple charges. So to me that has alot to say about why cost are bit higher more mine are the 3s 100c 5000mah plus I do get a avg of 4 mph faster vs my cheaper batteries. I wasn't sure I wanted to buy them when I could get same for maybe 20 less at same rate so wanted try them to date they are still the best I've tried and yes wish they would cost less but to me a cost to benefit seems to be in that there batteries are worth it for now. What's your best battery for price that has same spec that would be compatible???? Keep the great reviews going 👍
Thanks dude. Nothing really wrong with the Spektrum ones, I just think cost is a little high for what you get. I use these: chinahobbyline.com/shop/detail/454. CNHL have a good reputation for making decent Lipos.. and price is unbeatable
@@TomleyRC I haven't tried one cnhl . I've tried alot over the years my best budget battery right now are the povway I got from Amazon have been good I have 8 different sizes from 6s 4500 down they do good job and ovonic not bad also I use in my fpv race qauds 6s I also tried a smc it was very good but it wasn't mine so I couldn't test it way I like to and not sure how they are price wise . Keep up with your channel your doing great and hope we see some new break through stuff in the future if not it's still a fun hobby that's safe and better to do then worry about all b.s. in the world
It's awesome 💯 Losi needs to get there sh*t together & get these out to the people no matter where they're. Glad you was able to get yours, I figured the tires would expand & rub the body. Thanks for the review & Run Cheers 🍻👍
get the losi 22s and buy the sway bar kit los334021, Im certain you can get even better launchs out of it. I would suggest putting limiters in the front shocks, also a different rate spring up front.

If the car looks a certain way on the box, then it should run that way. No way would I pay the price to have my body torn up. Beautiful looking machine totally let down in my opinion.

hahaha....the same i thought ;)
Always room for another 😅
Yeah, wish I hadn't heard of the UFRC Ghost Rabbit when watching videos about the FID dragon hammer -_-
bro the imex brushless shogun is so good i gave ie 3s and hits 40+ mph
Use metal exhaust tape to keep tires from rubbing the paint of the wheel wells.
Yes... definitely
Great idea 🔥👍✌️

Yeah that’s cheap for the UK!
Crazy the price. Right now it’s on sale from
Horizon hobby for $149.99 RTR.
That carpet box is sticky doo tire depot. All the grip is there. Love it
I don't understand, the title says $249 then you say in the video it cost £400? I am a little confused?
Your a different type of unboxing. Your not the only youtuber: however I believe you an honest person. Enjoying the content.
Thank you 🙏
I’m not much for having a shelf queen but that’s an amazing candidate for one beautiful car body
Yes agree... looks good just sat still
Yes many times to fit in the box the body is mounted lower had to raise my body mounts on a Short course truck or the wheels would rub too
Disappointing about the the rubbing but such a proper drag car👌👍👍
Yes, a little annoying. But such an awesome car
Oh my gosh that was hilarious.. I’m happy you finally got your drag car. I finally got mine too , the Traxxas one. Your videos are what made me want to start running with the GPS and get that great Telemetry. Great video.
Glad you are having some fun with it... so much better with the GPS
Love your style. You don't act like you're on the playground 😉
Haha... I try and keep it real. Some people say it’s boring... but I’d rather be myself than try and put on an act

Well you can now get e Drag Slash over here… so Losi missing out 😅
It looks like a must have , I know after watching your review I must have it now .😂
Haha
Every christmas I woke up and was disappointed, never once did I find Jodie Foster under the tree, my parents were mean! Great Video!
Haha... one day!
@@TomleyRC Yep, I keep looking on Banggood Daily Deals, you never know!
RC nerds RULE!! Been looking at these. Get one eventually
I have one, had it for 6 months. Ran it twice. I'm not into it. Buy it!..
I just got the exact car yesterday used but in excellent condition I wonder though can it be upgraded for more speed?
That is a very good looking car there. Some really nice touches on it.
Agree 👍
The clarkson edit. 😂 brilliant vid as always
Haha... I’m a big fan of him and the gang
They need to release everything in the uk cuz that’s where all the tc UA-camrs and RC703 lovers are
Rc
Give u a hint in setting up the IRS for straight line drag racing ,- dial in about 5 degrees of POSITIVE CAMBER.
Need to raise those body posts at the rear....
Stunning looking rig !
I love the low stance. I’ll just put ‘speed’ tape on next time
@@TomleyRC ..... Wonder where you find that ..... 😉😉
put a drag race concepts wheelie bar on. lot better than the stock plastic one
Why were they not for sale in the UK ?
NICEEEEEE... Now that's nice.
Summit racing... Nice ... Summit is a good company...
Honestly I'd love a model like this...
One in metal... A full model...
This is just gonna look good.. unfortunately.. it's probably not gonna be a GREAT drag racer... It's just beautiful.
It actually ran pretty good... Good for you
I am surprised that is not the U.k. nice little speed run my friend, got AWFUL CLOSE to that phone there lol!!
Yes lol... close call!
I thought "no prep" referred to the track not being prepared or modified before/during the races. How would a car be "no prep"?
Sweet - do the rear tyres have soggy sidewalls to hook up like a full size car?
Just ordered the drag roller
I love my smart batteries find they last a long time and has good power delivery plus being able to watch the battery info is nice to keep it from over heating and catching fire but also use a DX5C controller which seems to be a good combination
Yes.. they are ok, just not sure they are worth the premium
I believe prolineracing makes a belted drag tire. Might help with wearing the paint.
Some people may know them as protoform .
I’ll take a look
The best rtr drag car in my opinion, I only upgraded pinion gear and tires and I’m running 2s battery, car is really fast !!
That's nise the best looking drag car off the shelf love the SS looks so good better than all the others out there need it in the UK now wheels look so nise 👍

Loved the scale look when they released it. Sucks we can’t get it in the uk 😢 definitely think it would look better without the stickers 😉
I nearly got the Blue... but thought the Red with stickers was better for e camera. And because it’s got Summit on the side... which I bet Traxxas hate haha
Looks way better in person. Thing is huge
That thing is absolutely awesome I love Losi Definitely my all time favorite RCs 🔥👍✌️
I reckon it's because they think no prep drag racing has taken off in the US but not the UK. It will take off in the UK if you sell the bloody things over here. No prep racing is loads of fun. Are we too British to have fun?
Agree... if more was available it would be more popular!
My local store has a brand new one on sale for $250 and I’m so so so tempted but I have no use for it🤣
Aside from the electronics, not much has changed since the RC10 of 1989.
Killer Drag Car! Only seen picture of it on the box at the hobby shop, Way better looking on video! Thanks for showing! And so true about Christmas!
Do the Drag cars steer enough if I want to cruise it around and not go always straight?
Yes, you can cruise around with them. May need to just raise the body a little first
@@TomleyRC Cool! Thanks!👍
Stick velcro stips the padded bit whare you used instalation tape the wheels won't burn through that stuff to the shell!
the rear looks perfect stiffen front preload front was bouncing quite abit remember those tiny bumps of the asphalt image pothole sized to the car
A little fun fact, I would guess all of the sellers on Ebay say they ship world wide BUT about half of them WILL NOT ship to Alaska, my home, or Hawaii.
A little known geography fact, the 49th and 50th states are not on the earth according sellers from China to the U.S.A.
The Traxxas has a gyro setting to only work during braking. Not sure if it's legal, but it saves the car after the pass.
What a heat looking but of kit 👍
Absolutely love this one
Me too
Great passes right out of the stinking box wicked bro!!!
Yes... fast!
Best I have seen one of these go was 2.38/2.45 and 46mph. Possible they don't think there is a market although drag racing is pretty well known not seen any organised for the UK.
That’s rapid... certainly possible with a decent hook up
Would 3s batteries kill the motor?
Just seen ad for a traxxas 1/8 mustang funny car. Claims 70+mph!
Oh it was like 8years ago. 😂
At the 454 mark, when you run it will go left. I can't run mine waiting on a replacement ESC.
Why is the rear spoiler bent ?? It's warpped in the middle.
Its so nice not sure i would want to take it off my shelf
I considered getting 2, so I could have one to look at haha
I was the same with my m05 mini monty carlo when i first got it. looked to good to use
Very nice body. Perhaps Shoe goo and aluminium tape under fender flares can solve the problem (y)
Would be awesome to see a super slow mo side view of the wheels. Any way you would make this happen? What great launches, and looks beautiful
I did one for my DR10... forgot this time.
Nice looking car. Never considered a drag RC, but that looks like fun.
They are fun... more if you have the Skyrc gps
@@TomleyRC yeah I have been wanting that gps since it came out, but I have too many RC's I want 🤪
That Car Is Discontinued, Aw Man That's my dream car Or always Out Of Stock😢
I hav one brand new if you want for 290
Cool cool man. I’d never drag race just because of where I live but I enjoy watching your video 🙌💯💯💯💯
Cheers dude
Did you balance the tires/wheels? 2.8 would be really good straight out of the box without a balanced set of tires. That's impressive.
Straight out the box.... just charged a battery and plugged it in 😎👌

Agree.. let everyone have them
Need belted tires?
Me Too! I don't buy many cars but I had put aside for this drag car but was very disappointed when it's not available in the UK hobby shops😥
Great video but the Spektrum battery’s are worth the money and have switched all mine out to them👍💪
yep that's rapid bud 🔥🚀👍
Awesome drag car and run
Cheers dude
Lost it at the "right size" moment
Haha
Definitely looks nicer than the DR10 and I can only afford one😊 either the Traxxas Drag Slash, associated DR10 or this the Losi 22 Camaro 🙄
get the losi 22s and buy the sway bar kit los334021, Im certain you can get even better launchs out of it. I would suggest putting limiters in the front shocks, also a different rate spring up front. Take the rear limiters out and adjust the bump stop to be a little smaller. Some gearing and a different set of tires, easy 2.5 to 2.6 seconds for only a 60 bucks in mods and maybe half hour on the bench!
I’d choose the Losi
Cool shots! Your channel hits different.
WOW Amazing Dragster!!!!
Everyone is so positive about new drag releases, i can't get it.
Those cars are reheated sausages!
Clearly visible, those are the old e-firestorms, rustlers and whatecer else 2wd truggy was out there around 2005-2010. So they should be cheap. But yet again, new release tax is on hobbyists
They are not Joking. As a hobby Shop I've had 3 of these on order since February. They still won't ship. I've had to give the deposit back to 2 people.
Damn! That tire rub is a beehotch!!!!!!! 😖
But yes, this is the only drag ca r I'd buy if I was into it. That Camaro shell and paint/sticker job is the business!!!!!!!! 🥰 😋😋😋😋
Yes looks lovely! I may have to get a blue one as well!
@@TomleyRC LoL! That makes me feel a bit better about the time I bought two extra FXT Ravines!
Still haven't got my power rangers Dragonzord yet lol
I love Pro Street cameros 400 bucks shipped thats good way search for one right now!
I think is the best looking rtr car you can buy
Me too
You should install the sway bar and see what it does! los334021 is the part number!
Goodness that's power full
If the car looks a certain way on the box, then it should run that way. No way would I pay the price to have my body torn up. Beautiful looking machine totally let down in my opinion.
Yes, it was a little bit of a let down as it was literally the first run! Hoping a bit of Tamiya Bright Red will cover it
Rear spoiler is bent?
It’s only thin, would be better if it was a bit more rigid
I always wanted Kelly Brook, still do🤪 thats a beautiful car😃👌👍
I got her for Xmas 2001 😅👌
Lucky lucky man👌😁😀👍👍
That was a very good intro. I asked for a Raleigh Grifter and I got a Chopper! I said "Grifter"!
I think we’ve all been there haven’t we... Chopper Vs Grifter... no contest really!
@@TomleyRC I did enjoy cruising on the Chopper, but that's not the point! Bloody Santa...
Add.25 or .35 sec delay on your throttle channel to get rid of the squirrellies.
Nice driving 😎
Cheers dude
I see the discounted Voracek 93 hockey sweater! He was traded before this bid was made hahahaaaa!
3s yes they work. Great.
Shame they failed on rear tire scale.........nice looking aside from that.
More videos on this would be awesome
