- Losi introduces me to the new Tenacity Lasernut U4 Rock Racer, and after having a few hours with it, I'm considering changing the channel name to the Scale Basher's Guild! There's a ton of awesome scale detail, and robust construction in this buggy, and it's an absolute blast to drive. Stay till the end for the full running video.

I shoot all my videos on the Sony a6500 in 4K, with Sigma 16mm, 19mm & 30mm and 55-210mm f1.4 lenses and the Zhiyun Crane V2. - Авто та транспорт
For not being a basher guy, that was some pretty solid two wheel driving and great J turn.
Needs to do a night run with it. Show off all the lights.
After owning an Arrma Big Rock and destroying a piece of it every time I took it out, I got one of these last year and have to say it’s amazing. I had to upgrade all of the drive train and suspension parts on the big rock to run it on 3S. The only upgrade tye Lasernut has had so far is the servo and that turned out to be unnecessary (I thought it was broken but I just needed to readjust my endpoints). I run it on 3S and it’s plenty fast enough and it jumps really well, stays really flat in the air. Would definitely buy again and would recommend to anyone 👍
Thanks for the review and feedback!
I'm new to RC cars, and a Lsernut is my second build. I threw out all Spektrum eletronics and added a hybrid sensored motor setup plus DJI O3 FPV gear and did some more modifications (see my channel) - now the Lasernut is a real FPV banger! So much fun to drive this car, the wishlist remains very short.
That's great! Welcome to the hobby!
Great overview and run video _ pretty much made my mind up after this, one will be added to our collection 👍🏻 - We have the DB pro Losi released last year and its a sweet & tough buggy for sure
It’s a nice bridge between the scale world and the bashing world! Looks like a cool truck!
Your run video absolutely decimated Josh's. When I watched his i was wishing it was slowed down for realistic effect. Very nice! Side note: they blew it on that carbon. That would probably scale up to 3 inch squares. Great video
Aftermarket rc drifter companies have some realistic carbon decals. But yeah 9 times out of 11 the stuff that comes on rigs are way out of scale.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome review! Ive had my eye on this one. Now I want it even more.
Great vid all around!
After seeing a few videos on this rig I got to say that I am loving the look of this thing. And 4s ability out of the box. Nice overview and thanks for sharing .. Thumbs uip
Thanks 👍
Bloody good running video footage!
Thank you very much!
Seeing more and more of this kind of vehicle and loving it 👍 Some awesome driving video, it rocks (no pun intended)!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can't wait to pick one of these up in the color you have! 👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥 That's actually awesome you get the DX3 included as that's what I got with my Arrma Kraton 8s Version 1.5 👍 works great and lots of tunability for an included remote
What an epic running video.
Very nice running video!!
Thank you very much!
Very nice! Very nice
Still waiting for the Yeti Score trophy truck rerelease
Looks awesome! 😍
Wow That end video was FIRE! Great video music truck editing!
Appreciate it!!
Your editing is superb!
Thank you so much!
Wicked outro!. Really great work dude
Thanks a ton!
Ha! I knew I recognized that spot. It's my old neighbourhood!
Wow. What a dope segment at the end. Just snatched a used lazer of eBay and I love it. You are gifted though bro those driving shots we're so much better than anything I've seen.
Thanks! Enjoy your Lazer and thanks for watching!
Yeah I completely agree Matt, I think licensing brands are very important in the rc world. I know I look for it when I'm in the market.🙂
Pre order is in. I wanted U4 rig for some time I looked into converting old Tekno 410 but parts were all over the place for that build. I think this will be one of best RTR U4 on market. TA had the Nomad but it didnt do as well.
ya bro, great video!!! i'm def gonna get one, not really a basher either but do enjoy it sometimes. the only rock racer i have is my axial yeti and being discontinued for a few years now, i kinda hate to drive it seeing parts are getting harder to get.
Best unboxing vid ive seen bahahaa beaten up n dirty out of box. Ive got few scale rigs n a udr i reckon as soon as we get these down here it will be in me shed. Cheers Matt awsome show mate
Well that’s pretty darn scale for a basher. I like it.
Matt love your work man... Awesome video...👍 Sorry about the MPH vs kph... All in good humer...
This is a great candidate for some belted tires...
I need to stop binge watching this channel. I'm gonna go broke!!!
Matt a basher🤔 Great first look! Love that action footage😍
Worth the wait.
Thank you!
If you're going to own a fast powerful rc be prepared to work on them as they always break something
Totally true but oh so worth it.
True indeed
Yep!
Haha truer words have never been spoken.
Wrenching, tuning and modifying is th best part IMO.
Ive been trying to replicate a similar rig based on a Hyper 10sce and an 1/8th scale electronic system. It doesn't look quite as refined as this one but it is a blast to rip. The weight of a 4s battery provides more Suspension articulation . Not desirable in a racing set up but I totally dig it
Yeah, this thing is pretty awesome! They did a really nice job making it very scale for a basher style of vehicle. They keep stepping up in that way the past few years. We compared our early access Lasernut to our demo Tenacity DB pro at the shop, and they are fairly different. The Lasernut has bigger, beefier, and longer arms, the chassis is different, the entire body structure is totally different, and several other things. It does share diffs, shock towers, and some other components like that, though. I actually looked through both manuals online, and it seems that the DB Pros that will be coming when they're off backorder will have some of these updated parts on them, but I can't say for sure. There were some parts that had the same part number in both manuals but were different designs in both manuals.
Great insight Nick, thanks for your comment! Always very nice to hear from you.
But do you LIKE it!!? 😜
I haven't been a Basher Guy since my T-MAXX back in 2002!
But there's something special about this... SCALE! 😁👍👍💯
You really nailed the running Video. Totally SOLD me! The slo mo shots let me see AVS in action.
.... It's actually socially responsible to have that feature in something THAT big and THAT Fast!!
I just hope they're available next year, when I can actually afford one.
Awesome Review Matt!! 😉
Carmine ✈🚂🚙
Ooooh you get BATTERIES! hahaha surprise bonus. Gotta love FREE AAs. That is a nice looking Rock Racer. The Tenacity DB pro handles great I'd imagine this is just as good if not better.
Oh yeah!
I bought a Traxxas Slash 4x4 to use as a basher. Got bored with bashing after three battery pack packs worth if running. So about 30 minutes. The same three batteries run my trail trucks for 9 hours worth of driving.
I hear ya.
I needed to change it up for a bit so I don't get bored of crawlers, got a kyosho outlaw rampage pro and a 2wd brushed slash.
Both lacked the WOW factor of my old yeti that I sold to a friend.
Made me think maybe for me, bashers should just be a quick break from crawling. As of now I am tackling my Enduro with a rediscovered passion!
Get a 6s truck and you won’t be bored
@@mojaverc1585 sounds way too expensive lol
Christopher Rea it is but its worth it if thats what you are in to
Hey! Nice material.
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing running footage at the end, Matt. You really don't get enough credit for your filming/editing skills. 👍🙌
Thank you so much 👍
@@scalebuildersguild I agree ! How are you shooting that? I'm guessing you are shooting a high frame rate to get those slow motion shots.
It's pretty neat but,I already have lots of similar bashers.I enjoyed your bashing/camera and editing work.You really have a talent for it I still remember your one bash session with the yeti xl it was the best of all the ones I watched on you tube and I've always wondered if you kept it and if you might share it one more time?
Thanks Matt! A servo that turns the vehicle left and right can’t be taken for granted....anyone who’s owned a LOSI 1:8 Nitro LST truck that has TWO servos stock.....knows what I mean. Can’t turn left or right at any speed reliably😂.
😆 uk I finally had a servo that worked in my muggy 10 yrs ago ff best servo ever owned but unfortunately my kraton killed it
When are we getting a running video of the Range Rover???? Looks so good! 🙂
wow......you are getting too good at making this content. Im no expert, but this one was EPIC! Dont get me wrong, you are always hystericaly funny and spirited, but this one seemed like you were supercharged. Maybe it was beeing out in the sun having all that fun with the Lasernut. You even got that bonus tan going on there
Tan is coming in well! Ha! Thanks for the kind words, it might have had something to do with the 4 Monster Energy's I drank... 😉
Really impressed with its stability. It doesn’t seem to want to do cartwheels like the Rock Rey.
The Rock Rey tires are definitely handicap it's performance. Mine look brand new sitting on my spare parts shelf. The AE Nomad General Grabbers work better for my project, if you own a Rock Rey maybe give them a try. They look appropriate and use sct wheels rather than 2.2" like the OEM tires. This rig looks awesome
Cheers ✌
This is why I fell in love with RC, Fast Off Road Buggies, Can't wait until I can Find one in the Red color scheme to Buy. Horizon is sold out.
that's nice real nice
For $25 more bucks you get everything the bomber 2.0 should have been.
Cracking video! Really good look at the car and some excellent running footage at the end to a thumping good soundtrack... How is the car at slower speeds? Can it crawl as well as it races?
As the diffs are open, as it's set out of the box, I don't think it'd be the best crawler, but hey, if you hit the rocks at speed, you'll fly over them!
Sweet!!
That would be the next one id buy. But i bought a redcat camo tt. I might turn it into the pro though. dam. I love the scale realism. That's why I bought the udr.
Nice, might have to get one! Are u going to put your "special" touches on it👍 (put a shark with a freaking lazer beam on it)
That was a great review video on this lasernut! I should be picking one up in the next couple of weeks. Awesome video and editing as well 👌 how do you get those angles and what camera do you use?
Awesome! Thank you! I use a Sony a6500 and Sony ZV-1 for all my camera work, and a Ziyhun Crane V2 gimbal.
@@scalebuildersguild well that explains it! My GoPro 7 black doesn't come out like that 😖
Sweet,, 👍👍🌞
Its missing the 'axial' logo the full size buggy has. Lmfao.
Just too funny. Cool buggy though.
I will have my PayPal ready for Scale Bashers Guild decals.
I'd go for that !!
I was a little surprised he didn’t change the intro to say “Scale Bashers Guild” to see how many people picked up on it.
your almost to 50k! nice! and then comes 100k.....
Great video !! For a 'Non Basher' you picked it up quick;y. Good Job !!
After the Bomber 2.0 I was hoping for a Yeti 2.0 but I guess I got my answer. Isn't this bigger than the Bomber, kind of like 1/8 Scale?
Thanks! Definitely bigger than the Bomber!
Killer:)
Can’t find the Proline post for the style points am I missing something here
I've got the same car and run the same batteries, except, mine are 50C. Is there a big difference in running 50 or 100C?
hope they would be available in europe and as close to the american pricing as possible
I have one on order when it comes in and that wont be until mid October to early November before it ships to me from Horizon Hobby!! Its a radical sick and totally awesome crawler and more!!! I wish they would put that battery indicator on all the smart spektrum transmitters like there boats it would be GREAT!! TELL ME ONE THING BUD. HOW DO YOU CLEAN IT OFF FROM ALL THE DIRT? ANYONE ANYONE???
I spray it with a hose!
Can I use this to the likes of the Arrma Senton, Kraton, Traxaas Rustler, etc.
Armada engineering makes the truck and the reason why there are two colors is because a couple years ago Cody changed the color from black to blue. And the added the winch because it has it on the real truck
I honestly think Josh used "scale" in his review more than you did. 😳Is the world ending!!!! Let's hope not....😂
are those glue on tires/wheels?
Do you think that there will be other lexan bodies or ways of changing the colour scheme??🤔
I’m sure they will offer a clear body.
💪🏾💯
Hey nice video I was just wondering if that was 4s battery in the video?
Yep, 4S battery!
Scale Builder's Guild thanks appreciate it.👍
Is it not simply a stretched 1/8 buggy? I just used a losi 8e and turned into a badass U4 rig. Nothing beats losi big bore shocks. I haven't gotten it to crawl real well yet but just a matter of diff oil at this point. I suppose I could try the ear plug trick.
It's a stretched Tenacity, from what I've been told.
If scale bashing is going to become a thing, it definitely piques my interest. This truck looks really cool. How does it compare size wise to the Bomber or Rock Rey?
Much bigger than a Bomber, can't comment on Rock Rey, don't have one!
👍👍👍
They look great, but how waterproof is that receiver etc? Where I drive it can be muddy.....
Totally waterproof.
@@scalebuildersguild brilliant. Now can you provide a letter to my wife explaining how this one will be different to all the others and it will be the last one I ever buy? She won't believe me...
Will it show your battery level on normal 3/4s lipos?
No, only Smart compatible batteries.
Ordered mine yesterday before I realized they were on backorder didnt say when they were shipping out either.
Should be soon!
Hey , Love the videos, I have a question , you seem good on the Detailed explanations , I just bought my First Losi SCT , the Tenacity TT PRO SCT.
Now it Has the Smart Battery set up , Questions , can you Cut off the Battery Connector ( any ramifications from the Connecter change ? ) and put on a deans connection , like the Traxxas OR are you stuck now buying these New Smart batteries and a NEW charger..
Not worried about the whole app battery telemetry thing , just NOT that keen on spending HUNDREDS more on These batteries and charger ... when I already have hundreds invested in other batteries n charger.
Cheers 🥂 Great job Thanks in Advance... 🖖🇨🇦🍁
Thanks for the kind words. No, you can put whatever connector on there that you like, but you lose all telemetry functions. Not the end of the world, but will void any warranty.
If it is a smart esc, does it only use smart batteries? I want to fully enter the basher scene, but I want to full look over my options.
The Smart ESC can run any LiPo battery, it just won't "talk"to the ESC like the Smart battery will. The best part about the Smart stuff is that it works with any charger, battery, ESC, radio, etc...However, if you want to use it to its full capabilities, you want a Smart battery, charger, ESC, and radio.
Nicholas Barber thank you very much! Not in tune with much of the spektrum stuff anymore. 😅😅
@@matthewrustia4874 No problem! I own Remote Control Hobbies in Orlando, so I stay current on all of the latest stuff. I've been in the process of slowly switching to Smart batteries over the last year. When an old one wears out, I replace it with a Smart batt. The fact I can set them to self-discharge to storage mode all on their own after however many hours I want it to is huge! It saves me from the hassle of discharging a bunch of batteries if the weather goes to pot or something comes up and I can't run.
hello can you crawler on rocks like gmade gom? thanks
All diffs are open, so not a true rock crawler.
Well hey at least you don’t need to do a portal delete!!!
Maybe I'll add them just so I can take them off!
Right rear wheel nut needs Loctite. I lost mine on the first run on 4s battery.
Or, switch to nylock!
@@scalebuildersguild I switched to nyloks and Loctite and lost another one yesterday
I wish the wheels would have same outside and inside size wheels!
Why? These perform just great as is.
@@scalebuildersguild just for looks I guess!
@@scalebuildersguild Doesn't it limit the replacement tire selection? All the Short Course tires are too small in Diameter.
How much is it worth BTW? Anyone? Thank you
IRL it is an Armada chassis.
How do you think this truck would do in an ultra4k?
Probably not well. Too many open diffs.
@@scalebuildersguild thank you man I value your opinion and make some purchases based off of it...😎
I bought the Bomber Savvy with all the upgrades
Looks like a grown up version of the twin hammers.. wonder how long before they discontinue this one ..lol
So this or the axial bomber?????
They're totally different trucks, hard to compare in my opinion. The Lasernut is open diffed, and meant for speed and bashing. The Bomber is definitely geared more towards rock crawling, less speed.

Isn't that the same wheel that came off on Harley?
Maybe? Yes, I believe it is.
@@scalebuildersguild Do you guys think it's defect or just dumb luck?
Derek Brandon dumb luck. Also, switching to loc nuts with plastic inserts will help prevent it.
You need to do more comp builds.
I don't comp all that much, but I'll try.
Love u4 rigs. Are you gonna drive it off a cliff like you did the Capra? LOL.😂
Don't call your Chanel scale bashers guild!
Challenge accepted.
Better than a traxxas slash??? Hmmm... We need a 4wd vs 4wd comparison.
To be completely honest, I've never owned a Slash!
@@scalebuildersguild whaaaaaaaat?????
Get a used one and you can build it however you want! Drag, short course, on road... Anything!
Seriously its the most versatile truck ever made. I didnt believe either until like 3 months ago.
Grab one! So fun and relatively cheap!
@@RandomStuffGarage619 It seems like every Hobby Shop has a couple used ones in various states of repair. A great place to start on a project.
Nice rig but losi scares me do to lacck of parts
Did you loose weight???
I sure did! 25 pounds!
Keep up the work bro looking good💪🏼
@@scalebuildersguild Better keep some of those 4 way wrenches in your pocket for wight or you might just blow away! looking good! Stay well and safe!
Until he comes down to socal for proline by the fire and I give him a bunch of TACOS!!!
Matt you already thin guy hope you ok
All my experience with Losi tells me it’s gonna break too much and be hard to find parts
Are we talking about the same Losi?
Ikr thinking db pro making my arrmas jealous , I haven't touched with tool . Plus my shizu name is losi you think I'd name my dog after a bad co
In the past, yes. They were more fragile, and parts were discontinued for models as soon as the model was discontinued after only a year or two of being out. However, many of us in the industry explained this frustration to them, and they've completely changed. They keep models around much longer now, and then generally update them as opposed to getting rid of them. Parts are kept in production for a year or usually more after the vehicle is discontinued as well. A lot has changed in the last few years.
Platform looks to much like arrma.
Tenacity has been around for awhile, I don't think other than ESC's, Losi and Arrma share anything.
