Really well made video. Finally, someone who understands how to inform their audience with proper dimensions / specs. You just earned another subscriber 🤘🏻👊🏻
I have it and i love it. Aside from few problems: stock gearing is too low, tires tend to blow(4 my friends have these too and we all have blown tires), its heavy on batteries 120c gens can hardly keep up, front cvd sometimes break(no breakages other than shafts, some worn bearings and tires). Pros: ITS BIG, ITS FAST, ITS DURABLE, ITS FUN.
It’s definitely not for everyone but I freaking love it! I did blow a tire too! I also added two more powerful servos and a new receiver and radio. It does burn through batteries at over 30 pounds of mass! Great shocks and durability overall and I get so many smiles from this on my face, my kids and other people love it! All in I’m over 2k for sure, but it makes me and my kids so happy. We have 12 cars and this is definitely a different beast than the XMaxx which size wise I can compare it to. I have other 8S cars but this size is just awesome for huge open fields and dirt!!!
@@rebandmike I agree on that. Car is not flawless but its alot of fun. For tires you can try using proline badlands i use them on mine and these are holding insanely well.
I love the fact that it is understeery, makes it more realistic. Still waiting for RC models which actually are very close to a miniature model of a real car of sorts with even the weight being scaled down appropriately for more realistic handling.
I have the Gas DBXL and its absolutely one of my favorite cars, out of the 35 or so I own. It's brilliantly designed, durable, and looks really good. Affordable too! I just wish there was a bigger aftermarket for it...
Also bought a dblx, sound is so good and smell of 2 stroke so amazing, cant wait for the snow to melt so i can enjoy it in the dirt instead of ice and snow
@@nicolasgiasson2449 exactly! I can understand electric power in every other aspects of the hobby but a 1/5 scale has got to be gas in my opinion. It's half the thrill!
You can cancel out understeer by moving the batteries as close to or directly over the front axle, adding some weights to the front axle, or adjusting the wheel alignments.
Glad to see my feet and car in the video at 3:41. Crazy seeing you at the track Brett after watching all your videos. Hope to one day be able to buy one of these bad boys! Keep up the great vids!
Cant wait to buy this 1/5 scale electric as my next rc. I bought a Kyosho Inferno GT2 Race Spec Nitro Audi R8 with the KE25 engine from you guys and have had nothing but problems. I am officially a nitro hater now and all electric now. Your video convinced me to get this buggy next. Jon-
Hey anyone who wants to buy my old nitro car hit me up at happyjonny1976@gmail.com and I can send you pics. I bought a whole bunch of nitro stuff and it is useless to me now. Jon-
That's a bummer to hear Jon. Nitro's can be tons of fun, but also frustrating. Happy to hear you're wanting to move back to the convenience of brushless power. -Brett
I raced Losi for about 4yrs XXX graphite are great trucks from 20yrs ago I won well over 30 trophy's with one Sadly I can't afford to race anymore due to injuries to my back and most of my body LOSI IS THE BEST IN MY OPINION AND EXPERIENCE 👍✌️
I’m pretty sure this is the next big purchase for me besides a ProBoat 36/48 Zelos for summer. I’m literally considering selling my X-Maxx for one of these beasts. Great look at it. It looks awesome in the fox decals.
I just bought a Traxxas 4tec 2.0 xl5 and I can’t wait till it comes in!!! It’s arriving late but they look so fun! This 1/5 buggy is my next purchaseee
You bet. In a way, it's much more serious; with the potential for large scale glory, or great amounts of pain if it hits you. It had my hands shaking when I drove it. -Brett
Jest to jeden z najpiękniejszych modeli aut z wszystkich firm produkujących modele. Na polskie realia bardzo drogi. Pozdrawiam Autora kanału. Dziękuję za film. Henryk. 🚙🚗🛻🚕🌝🌝🏆🌞
Well, thanks, I think I need one now! Great videos by you, always! May the RC market explode so that we have more and more cool products like this one! Awesome, awesome job! 💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️!!!
I’m pretty sure this is the next big purchase for me besides a ProBoat 36/48 Zelos for summer. I’m literally considering selling my X-Maxx for one of these beasts. Great look at it. It looks awesome in the fox decals. I wonder if they would release a 5T electric 2.0 type truck that would be cool
I love my desert buggy. I bought mine while I was in Korea. Sadly it was way more expensive then buying here in the states. But I use to sit on my little trailer and drive myself around with my buggy. Very fun and still did about 40mph with me on it
I love this thing I’ve had mine for 3 months but I did beat the crap out of it, I ripped every rubber boot, ripped a tire in half, blew the rear diff in two peace’s, but even still I love this thing. The one thing you will want to do when you get one is to put thread lock on the pin gear on the motor that was the first they to come loose and scared the crap out me since it was my first run with it.
This is my "Dream RC". I think Losi makes great quality RC myself. Is this expensive, i guess, depends on where you place quality in terms of cash. I will be buying this RC this year with Christmas Bonus, alone with New Servo upgrades. Also will use ADU for upgrades throughout the coming year. I been wanting this for 3 years, since seen 1 in LHS. Will post a video when she arrives, will make a YY Channel around this RC, and upgrades I slowly do.
I purchased one secondhand. Love it. BUT it came with a MAX4 12s combo and 25 tooth pinion! Insane amount of power. On the stock tires it just starts spinning and goes nowhere 😂
....and yeah, just to inform the whole world, I finally got it and it is indeed massive and I don‘t want to run it because it is such a shiny beauty...
Jean Cena I have seen the Fox version so often, that in the meantime, I find the Losi version nicer. And in the meantime I was able to run it, which I can prove here: ua-cam.com/video/n1cOIpN6ouI/v-deo.html it is a crazy beast.
Get you some of that heavy duty packing tape that has the strings in it. Kinda like the stuff Amazon uses to close their packages. Put that around the inside of the tires and it'll help with the ballooning. Some... Lol. Just make sure it sticks really good. The better the adhesion. The better it works.
There was a 1.0 of these new at the LHS like 10 years ago, and we totally thought the wheel nuts had some sort of security lock on them because you COULD NOT get them loose 😂
I really enjoyed your video, and how well you explained most of the details regarding this vehicle. I would have liked to know about the light-bar, and whether the lights provide enough illumination to drive it at full speed, in a a vast and dark space. And thank you so much for not allowing any ads to interfere with your review.
Hey Robert. It's probably not bright enough to be driving full speed at night. The light probably doesn't shine that far ahead of the vehicle for safe, full-speed driving. -Brett
Love your videos and love this car! I got the DB Pro instead as it’s more affordable and has many of the same characteristics, just scaled down... But I am saving up to get this! It’s mega awesome! Was going to get the K8S until I saw the reviews... Now this is my next car for sure!!!
i had to use a socket and breaker bar on my wheel nuts! broke a front dogbone! $43 for the bone! i recommend raising the brake force to at least 70% and punch level to 100%. it is a beast!
@@AMain_Hobbies No! i was bashing and broke the dogbone thats when i had to remove the wheel and found out how tight it was... The dogbone broke at the cv joint it seems to be the weak spot. the cup should break before this expensive dog bone with a swivel joint breaks. IJS!
Ha! Yeah... it's not cheap, but as a huge, high performance vehicle, it packs a lot of punch for the more experienced user. Check out the 1/10 scale version of this buggy; www.amainhobbies.com/losi-tenacity-db-pro-1-10-rtr-4wd-brushless-desert-buggy-fox-racing-los03027t2/p1051817 -Brett
I am in loveeee, I did have a Hpi Baja 5b and that was and still my personal favorite... too bad that I already bought a Katron 6s (still not arrived) before seen this monster :(.... if I didnt buy the Kraton I would definitely would have bought this one
It's likely made of ABS plastic... It's decently strong and has a memory which is why it springs back into place when you bend it and let it go. Maybe after my 11 years of service I'll get one, it sure is a beaut!
I finally ran my version one I bought for Christmas for 600 bucks. It's really fun but the servo is terrible! Took forever to get the beast to turn. Will be getting a hitec really soon.
Awesome look at this beast Brett! This one is on my list, it was my next big rc to get but the 8s kraton came out n had to get it, so this ones one I want soon
I own this ride. it's badass, if you on the fence don't be. Losi light bars suck though. LED bar on both my DBLXe and my SBR have both failed and both are only months old. Get this, Losi don't warranty their light bars. A $1000 toy and they don't warranty the light bars, they are happy to sell you more but no warranty. If you can live with this kind of BS from Losi then get a DBLXE, if you want a company that warrants your product against defects the get something else. My model shop replaced my light bars on his own dime. Losi, you need to handle this BS.
i never could find a way to turn off the lights. I kept looking for a switch to do that. Plus the stock transmitter SUCKS. Im definitely putting my futaba in it.
Can't wait for 1/2 scale buggies to get released
Lol I think thats what people refer to as a "go-kart"
My ambition is driving a 2/1 scale buggy - actually twice as big as the real thing. :D
I need that
They are called side x sides
Can you put 10s battery

After many years this rc is still the best bigger beefy looking out there. I have many rc but the looks of this one is unic!!!
I have one of these coming today. I'm super excited! As always, great video and ty AMain!
Its a BEAST. ITS LIKE MY LOSI LASERNUT ON SEROIDS!!! WOW ITS HUGE!!!
I love the fact that it is understeery, makes it more realistic. Still waiting for RC models which actually are very close to a miniature model of a real car of sorts with even the weight being scaled down appropriately for more realistic handling.
I just picked up a Traxxas UDR and think it's the most realistic feeling RC car I've had so far.

On a well prepared MX Track, this thing is so much fun 👍.

Duct tape on the inside of the tires works great to avoid the balloning. Race trick I used back in the days

Excellent review - much more informative than most! Thanks for posting.
this front tires growin' up
yea
8:31 i didn't realise how big this thing was until it made a 1/10 look like a crappy toy grade thing you would get from tesco🤣🤣🤣
with my 1/10 scale ecc torment it would look like a cheap toy
My 1/10 Fox Rey was inspired by this buggy!
1/18
kraton almost seems bigger because of the stance and wide wheels
I have one and absolutely love it... Thing is a lawnmower 🤣
Wow, it looks impressive in all categories.
That's the most awesome video about my prefered RC bugy!!!
so big.......crazy. thanks for the video.
Look at that suspension. Honestly it's the most impressive things on these cars.
I’m pretty sure this is the next big purchase for me besides a ProBoat 36/48 Zelos for summer. I’m literally considering selling my X-Maxx for one of these beasts. Great look at it. It looks awesome in the fox decals.
3:08 That is insane, I've never seen that level of dampening on an RC before.
Handles jumps beautiful
I bought this truck last week and love it! Almost broke my wrist trying to remove nut holding the wheel on. Still haven't got it off yet.
I just bought a Traxxas 4tec 2.0 xl5 and I can’t wait till it comes in!!! It’s arriving late but they look so fun! This 1/5 buggy is my next purchaseee
Probably a whole different type of experience in person I would imagine.....🤙🤙
You bet. In a way, it's much more serious; with the potential for large scale glory, or great amounts of pain if it hits you. It had my hands shaking when I drove it.

Man I cant wait to be able to unbox and review a rig like this one🤘🤙👍✌ awesome video as always amain hobbies 👏👊
can we just appreciate how quckly the shocks absorbed the drop at the test at 3:08...
I'm in Arizona and this will be my next purchase. 👍
Hey JR. Greetings from Chico, Ca. Enjoy!

Tip for the gopro; clean the lens so you don’t have fingerprints as it gets rid of that light foggy look
Great review dude! Love the Desert Buggy!
There one of the best alloy chassis 4x4 brushless 1/5 scale. Handle good, with so many options & parts 😎
💯 👍 Oh my goodness that thing is bad ass!!! Semper Fi!! 🐾🐾🐾🇺🇸

Not a fan of electric 1/5 scale but thats one nice truck! I would Definitely consider that truck if i ever got an electric 1/5 scale
What a great review
Was an Hobbie in 1987-- today It Is an big big sport RC sport racers 😊😊😊
Great job Matt💯 and great choice on the dblxe 2.0
Jesus the buggy looks insane! 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Iike that music 👌
my buddy just got one of these theyre SICK! FYI i pick up from your chico warehouse :D
Loved the video. I just dream of owning one.
Totally saving for this
It bottomed out when you dropped it!! 😂 that was kinda scary....tighten up the shocks a bit.....that’s just awesome by the way!! Congratulations 🎈🎊🍾🎉
Amazing car! I make similar ones but with 49cc engines :D
Can’t wait for 1:1 scale buggies to get released
Hard to beat the instant power of electric.
-Brett
I just realized I made a order thru you guys. Didn’t realize you were a actual retail shop (haven’t watched enough vids yet lol)
i either go through AMain or Horizon Hobby both great online retailers and there customer service is amazing
Awesome review, thank you!
this losi is Epic 😍
Awesome! Gonna buy one for my next video! Thx for the review
Me: clicks on the link to buy one
Website: "low price of $1,099"
Me: spits out coffee

It's likely made of ABS plastic... It's decently strong and has a memory which is why it springs back into place when you bend it and let it go. Maybe after my 11 years of service I'll get one, it sure is a beaut!
It's Not that expensive actually, good bang for the buck.
I expect soon we'll start to see 2/1 RC models, even bigger than the real thing!
My next purchase. Now just need to make sure its that much better than 1st edition.
Man, I really want one of these!
You what is really cool. My dad makes your decals. The company is decal factory
too beautiful this buggy and super your channel + 1 subscriber
Omg!! Its beautiful!!!!
Nice🏁👍
When are you getting yours?

Love it! I wonder if Losi gonna release a SBR 2.0
I own this ride. it's badass, if you on the fence don't be. Losi light bars suck though. LED bar on both my DBLXe and my SBR have both failed and both are only months old.
