Purchased the RTR and I liked the quality and the handling. I converted it to the BL and it transformed the car. The instructions were very good, so purchased the kit for my son & I too build. We were running mini Bs, and as good as they are, the speed/handling of the LC is outstanding and I was not reaching for the toolbox all of the time. Solid machine.
LC Racing doesn't get enough credit, even though you guys are one of the few bigger channels that do. I own the rally chassis, PTG2R and one of the replica of LC Racing made by WLtoys (124018, the brushed, LWB desert rock bouncer/buggy), and they're an absolute blast. Great great designs. I hope they get s few good importers and grow in the US and Europe. They definitely deserve better with the quality and fun their cars bring.
Glad to see all of a love for LC racing coming out! I HAVE THE 12B1 AND THE EMB1 truggy, and they both rock. This new little guy is definitely on my hot list!
I had the EMB1 which I converted to the LC12 with all the goodies. Probably did over 2000 laps both on dirt and carpet. The car was a killer and was 13.5 4wd lap times tho took more finesse to drive quickly due to it's scale. LC makes a banger product. ROAR will allow this to run with 1/10 and I see it could be a good weapon for tighter tracks!
Hello could you make a video or a “short” just size comparing to a mini-b? And when you say 6350 for the castle are you talking kv? What size can is it ? 1010 series?
_Losi_ had 1/14 before they came out with the 1/16th scale buggy. Remember the Mini 8ight? In fact, the whole reason why 1/14th scale exists is because of the Mini 8ight, since the platform was designed as a pocket-sized 1/8th scale buggy that was still big enough to be run on 1/10th scale clay and dirt tracks. Then again, before Losi there was Kyosho with the Mini Inferno (not the Mini-Z Inferno), which was 1/18th. And alongside those was the Anderson trio (Anderson MB4, LRP Shark, Duratrax Vendetta), also 1/18th. And before them we had the RC18 series which was 1/18th. And before that was the original Mini-T, also 1/18th. And before that there was the HPI Micro RS4, again 1/18th. So, really, the standard _should_ be 1/18th.
@@VestedUTuber True, Losi was into the 1/14th scale already, even before LC Racing, I think, but then apparently Losi later dropped it and went 1/16, I guess?
@@rc-fannl7364 Losi discontinued the Mini-8ight platform gradually, starting with the buggy and rally car, then the 1/14th scale Vaterra cars, then the truggy and desert buggy, citing poor sales but I have my suspicions it was actually because Losi's been trying to get out of the racing scene ever since Horizon bought them*, and the Mini-8ight platform was only really suitable for tracks and other prepared surfaces. There was a gap between the Mini-8ight platform and the Mini-T 2.0 and Mini-B where Losi didn't have anything smaller than 1/10th scale. *The Mini-T 2.0 and Mini-B are definitely racing-focused platforms in and of themselves, but they're also small enough and the brushed versions are slow enough to be run in a large carpeted basement or other larger household room.
Thanks, I'll tell ya when it comes to the shock oil, people are all over the place. It's no different than picking numbers out of a hat. I wish LC would offer some better guidance on this. You went with 600/400, some are going with 450/450, others 200 to 275 F/R and some 500 or 700 F/R. Ugh. haha
My experience as well. I have the 4WD EMB-1H and it took some tumbles in the past (6000kv motor on 2S with too much traction=backflips/traction rolls) but so far only broke a servo and needed some new batteries and tires at some point.
why not go with 1/16 scale to compete with the mini b and t? kinda odd jumping to their own scale. i guess they can compete against the losi jrx2 but its not a very popular size.
Ever since Losi came out with the Mini 8ight, the mini scene has been one big clusterfuck of scales. Back when we were running RC18s and Anderson MB4 relabels it was all 1/18th scale with the occasional underproportioned 1/16th scale model.

Warren RC in michigan does a great job at carrying all the parts for LC. They have been a distributor for longer than 3+ years.
This buggy is an awesome compact carpet ripper! Can’t wait to race these down at RC Madness on Thursday nights!
Built my BHC-1 and got a few practice runs in. Great little buggy!! Can't wait to race it at RC Madness Thursday nights.

Lets just hope this paves the way for them to make a 1:10 scale 2wd buggy.
ill be getting the kit version. great video as usual 👍

Great review and looks great out on the track

Awesome rc's and great information on them
Man, your kit car was DESTROYING that triple, holy crap! Could the 10th-scale cars even do that?
Can you use that castle motor and esc doing competition racing
I've been really impressed with the EMB-T. Hopefully this is more durable than the Mini-B.
Hi, nice review, thanks! Can you please tell me what battery you used in the kit version and give a link?
Looks cool, but I would mod or make my own motor plate to use 540 size motor, and a larger shorty lipo.
Is it just me or does the one the right look slightly bigger at 59 seconds? I presume the left one is RTR
LC has had the 1/14 way before Losi came out with the 1/16th scale, so Losi should have followed. Associated even had 1/14 before Losi.

how does it compare to Losi Mini B?
Faster (w BL), handles better, quality of parts are better…
@@christianiribarren7136 thank you.
What camera did you use for the "on car" footage? Aside from the info about the cars, that was my favorite part of the video. Awesome angle!
Insta360
jesus, im using a 12$ "action spycam" (its about one cubic inch) and it works
Getting the kit if I find a place to buy it here in Europe
lc racing is from china, be sure to get it from china and not get scammed on taxes
@@BP-iz2lt everything is from china 😂
@@BP-iz2lt bought mine on a German webshop. No scam. But looks like they are becoming harder to get here lately.
@@soma_rc tell that to the brands displaying us flags all over their website and charge you 500$ for their basic kit
Vs mini b roller ?
I like the 1/14 over the 1/16.

Hm... I wonder how it would run on RCP foam.
i wil get an RTR.. Losi mini B
I didn't realize there was a 2nd channel.
Yup, some unique stuff and some videos are extra footage.
Losi mini B keep popping off links even at low speed bump...LC racing seems more robust
