I'm glad Richard's Channel mentioned me getting this as a "FREEBIE" It gives me a chance to point out a few things. First, I'm not a review channel. I show what specs are in an RC, why I may or may not like the layout or parts, and then show the items in use. I do share my impressions while driving them, but rarely come back to do a full review on a product and whether or not you should buy it. If you like how it handles when I run it...then it speaks for itself. Second, I am one of a few channels who is upfront about items I receive. I know it matters to viewers. I'll also say, that the amount of time I spend making videos on vehicles would cost far more money if I charged them to make the content. So I am giving up a lot of time to do videos on products. Time is money. Still, I think it's fair to point it out and it's actually to be in compliance with the FTC guide that requires it. "In addition, the Guides say, if there’s a connection between an endorser and the marketer that consumers would not expect and it would affect how consumers evaluate the endorsement, that connection should be disclosed. For example, if an ad features an endorser who’s a relative or employee of the marketer, the ad is misleading unless the connection is made clear. The same is usually true if the endorser has been paid or given something of value to tout the product. The reason is obvious: Knowing about the connection is important information for anyone evaluating the endorsement." Third, I mentioned in this video that I was going to run batteries that are not from Venom who sponsors me. Why? Because I'm trying to show you a the features of this vehicle and there are extra features when you do use their recommended SMART battery that works with the Spektrum Smart Technology. I also point out that Venom sponsors me as I try to disclose this type of information. I also wouldn't take sponsorship from a company I don't believe in - which is a whole other subject. But I endorsed them before they endorsed me. Thanks for letting me share this. I hope you still enjoy the content and would hope that you will know that I try to tell it like it is. I'm not as negative as some channels and can find fun in a lot of RC vehicles, but I do try to give context for who they might be best suited for.
Richard’s Channel dude, this is a means of income for him and the production and time it takes to make this 28:38 video would cost me, or anyone else, far more than the $1100 sticker price on the buggy. This is one of the ways this guy makes money and he makes no bones about it. I feel like he gives an honest opinion and comes across as unbiased, even though he might not have paid for the unit. I would like to think someone’s integrity is more valuable than a stupid R/C car. I guess it goes to show that no good deed goes unpunished and there’s always “that guy” out there that will find fault, no matter what you do. CCxRC, keep up the good work and great video content! Don’t listen to the haters!
@@stutank07 Thanks Stuart. But like Richard says, "to each his own". We all come to UA-cam for different reasons and watch the channels we do because we each are drawn to different things. Thank you for recognizing the work I put into it and how I try to be as unbiased as possible. Losi sent me this even though I had quite a few negative points about the other one in my early videos. That's a testament to them. Hopefully those things will have been addressed in the 2.0.
@@CCxRC I'm in the same boat, unless they have a channel and do regular videos they have no idea the work it takes to make a video. It can take me 2-3 hrs or a couple days to get a 10 minute video ready so yeah man its work.....mostly way under minimum wage too!!! LOL Great job man!
Michael Lucre man you crack me up every time you comment 🙌 I really appreciate your humor you funny fucker 😁🤘 ⚠️ these are not toys and I swear when fit ⚠️
@@kevintemido With the gas model, you'll need to carry gas, tools, pull the string to start it. Then it'll need the carb adjusted and they all will. With the electric, you'll need batteries and tools. Hook up the batteries and go. Electric is easier to operate and maintain. Gas can give you that real feel and sound but more maintenance and have to carry gas. Edit: I chose the electric, should be here in a few weeks.
I love the new style of it very nice. Thanks for the video review learned a lot from the review I'm a big time losi fan losi is stepping up the game bro.
What was the wires going from the receiver box back to the wing for? Lights?? This looks so sharp!! I bought an LST2 a looooong time ago and being paralyzed I stopped playing with it. The 2 speed sliper clutch got busted so I used that as an excuse. I want to get it working again after watching this video. It would be good for me to get out and get exercise too!..lol! My engine is probably ruined too....UGH!! BUT THIS VIDEO HAS ME EXCITED ABOUT R/C AGAIN💥..I've been into R/C for over 20 years and seeing this 1/5th scale has me feeling like I did when I first started. I needed this spark to bust out my old gear to see if it's runnable. Thanks for the review..I'm absolutely blown away by that T/L DBXLE! I had no idea about it. Super happy you video so happened to pop up on my home page!
Hello, I just had a DBXL-E 2.0 delivered on 1-27-20. My buggy arrived looking ok, but on power-up the pinion and spur gears are grinding like a cement mixer. On the bench it goes. I found a bent front drive shaft. It shows .030 thousands bend on the dial indicator. That means .015 bend. Looking further the 4mm metal plate has a .080 thousands upward bow in it. No idea how this can happen being shipped. Can you put a straight edge on yours and see if yours may be bowed. Im getting ready to straighten things up. Contact for repairs has started, but im in wait mode. I took video of the work checking the buggy.
@@CCxRC sorry for the late reply! No I really only used it on grass and some dirt, if you gun it and do donuts or a hard fast turn they shredded, went through 3 tires now I use rovan, they wear quick but don't rip😁👍👍 beast of a rig man😁
I just bought this beast version 2 and its BEAST and HUGE!! AND SEXY AS HELL!! Its like my Losi Lasernut on steroids!! I saw it in person and said yup I got to have it!!
i did the same yesterday when I went back to the hobby store lol. Id seen it the day before and thought it looked great. Seeing it again it went home with me.
these have always been cool, instead of all the break in and tuning of the gas motors, just go out and throw the battery in and rip. maybe one day ill own one of these.
Awesome unboxing I just ordered mine today after watching your video ...I wanted to wait to see the steering I’ve had so many problem with Losi and steering I leery on them after my sbr and srr there killing me with steering how this one ?????
The steering on the last one was really good once you dialed in the end points on the remote. The plastic servo saver on the 1.0 was replaced bay everyone I knew who had one and then did ok. I think this one is setup to have steering like the 5ive-b with dual servos as an option. I haven’t run it yet because of our weather here, but I’m very optimistic about it.
Earl Moorhead Earl,,, if it makes you feel more comfortable just add a good second servo,,,,,, you won’t regret buying this Losi 2.0 new version of this buggy,,,, it is awesome. Enjoy!!!
Mizoe77 I don’t regret buying it took a little work to fix the steering but after that is was a great rc for me rtr is just that ready to run not 90 % but it’s an awesome rc as it’s proven 👍👍💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m telling you the same thing, get the Losi,,,, my grandson and I, we bash this Losi car hard and long and so far nothing has broken!!! Losi is good quality and durability. It will last if you use it judiciously and still having a lot of fun with it!!
Great video:-):-) just subscribed this red color is better than the orange color. Is this 2.0 version have better turning radius than the original???? Thank you.
Great video. This could be a stupid question but I do not know the answer. I am a little confused on the spektrum batteries and spektrum charger. Can I charge the spektrum batteries for this buggy on my lipo charger as long as my charger is within the spektrum specs of charging them?
Yes. They’ll charge on normal LiPo chargers. The smart feature on their charger just automatically sets the right charge settings if you want it to. But you can manually charge them like we’ve done for years
Great unboxing Tony..I just ordered mine from my LHS..luv ur channel!! Ugh Coppa...hope it doesn’t ruin the rc community here..other things the government need to focus on. Phillymac
How are the 50C batteries doing? They recommend 100C batteries, although I don't think they exist outside of marketing talk to be honest. Vape batteries get good C rating testing, in the rc hobby world I haven't come across good battery review sources. The graphite batts from hobbyking seemed to work really well in my old DBXL, but I'm upgrading to the new one and don't want to pay too much for batteries. 7000mah seems very tempting if it is true capacity. I don't trust any of the labels anymore in this hobby..
This looks 10x better then my big Axial Yeti kit that I built. The yeti is a total piece of junk and I was very disappointed. It broke every time I drove it. Axial if ya want to putz around. Losi if you want a strong performance car. My Losi 5iveT is the best RC I’ve owned
Tony - Very nice job - Im a big fan of your channel because you are 100% objective and I really like that. Im sure you understand that this buggy is not a wheelie machine stock - but it most definitely can be upgraded to beastmode level pretty easily. My DBXLE is maxed out on 8s with the 2028/Max5 and it truly will pop wheelies down the street.I do have one request - Can you pls let us DBXLE version 1 owners know what parts from the 2.0 are backwards compatible? Are the dogbones & center driveshafts thicker? can I buy the new bulkheads & gearboxes & diffs and get them in without drilling? I have the clips to show as well. all this thing needs is Castle 2028 extreme Max5 or waterproofed XLX HiTec D845 wp Hot Racing aluminum hubs FID Chassis baraces 200K/20M/200K 80w X4
And is a lot smaller motor. I prefer cars that have motors installed that are big enough for the job so that they don’t need all that extra stuff to keep from overheating. All my basher cars that have fans…now have broken fans from dirt and debris braking off fins
Depends how you plan to run it. If you want to run for long periods of time...Gas. I like the electric. It gives me good fun for 15 minutes. Then I change batteries and run another 15. That's usually plenty of fun for me and all the time I have. My big race trucks I like gas.
this is way more exciting than the new 8s kraton. I have the 6s kraton so the new one isnt all that exciting to me lol plus i got my xmaxx for big scale
Great video the buggy is really nice I just wonder why there is no gas version. It’s looking more and more like Losi is getting out of the gas market. 🤞🏻 I am wrong.
I’m ok with the electric 5t, but would still want gas. Unfortunately so many videos are about converting away from gas these days. I love being able to top it off and keep running without needing 8 4s batteries to get through a race day
ColemanWorld I really like the DBXLE 2.0. Partly because I loved the original so much. It’s an insane rig. I also don’t feel tempted to try to stunt this one :) it jumps great and tears up the ground with power
@@ColemanWorld This actually has a much larger motor than the arrma. Both are rocking the new Spektrum Smart ESC and receiver, but this is a 5th scale motor. If I recall, the shocks on this are bigger diameter as well and it has metal shock towers. Also the Losi has driveshaft dust boots to minimize wear from dirt. Both are awesome, but the extra money that goes into this one is noticeable.
Going forward!! Love you content!! Back up plan's. If I can't check you in the new year! . 67.. Starcraft50hp Mercury . In the barn 50+years!! . NC❤ back yard RC.AND MORE🏞. Maybe we go down the lake next year. Having some RC.. fun. Outside!! Going forward with..👋✔🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒✔
I bought one a few months ago and just can't get into it. Its not fast enough to scare you, it nose dives if you jump it unless your waaaay in the throttle.
Tony , i think you caused fox ed losi dbpro to be on backorder why they sponsor you serious lol im thinking getting sbr instead which not what i need it hard find bash space on island when time is of essence
@@CCxRC lol np, lucas still available so many good rcs being released and older ones seems horizon dropping prices . I think you showed how good db pro is more than other yt and was great for marketing for losi we caught up how tough arrmas on but losi usually has quality just pricey
Good video bro, like the truck... one thing though!!! You, me, and everyone else knows that those spectrum transmitters are junk! No range at all and people loosing signal crashing. They come in arrma rigs as well now... horrible horizon get TACTIC stuff back. Best rtr radio ever.
Thanks J Ho! It’s a great looking desert buggy. As for the transmitter, This is the DSMR protocol one that is better then the ones that come with most ARRMA. These receivers can be bound to other Spektrum radios. The other one is the STX2 transmitter that runs FHSS protocol. But STX2 is getting replaced.
I cant for the life of me figure out how to turn off the lights. I was hopign the video would mention it. I had to unplug them. The stock radio SUCKED so im putting my futaba in it.
Mine was very reliable, so I’m not sure how to respond. The stock servo savor was junk, but the only other think I broke was the servo after hitting a curb at full speed and the center/front driveshaft (broke off the pin). The servo savor has been changed and the pin in the driveshafts is bigger, so hopefully the parts I broke are stronger now.
@@CCxRC I also bashed my V1 very hard never broke a thing except for the servo. Most reliable RC i've ever had. I hope the V2 has a better saver. Looks like it.
It's not a joke. It's just normal run time. I get about 12 minutes run time with it if I'm bashing. 9000mah will give more run time, but it doesn't really change the performance. It's also a more expensive battery and doesn't work wtih all my cars. I choose based on what i can get the most use out of. A 5000mah works great in my 4s cars too. So...it's not a joke. I'm just being practical.
Prolly. I just think 12 minutes of runtime on those spektrum 5000mah batteries is to short. You could get 9000mah for the same price as those spektrum smart batteries and get nearly 30 minutes. I have Xmaxx and dbxl e 2.0 both with 9000mah and get 25 to 30 minutes with a mix of full throttle racing and bashing. 🙂

Hello, I just had a DBXL-E 2.0 delivered on 1-27-20. My buggy arrived looking ok, but on power-up the pinion and spur gears are grinding like a cement mixer. On the bench it goes. I found a bent front drive shaft. It shows .030 thousands bend on the dial indicator. That means .015 bend. Looking further the 4mm metal plate has a .080 thousands upward bow in it.

Just got mine today! Red silver and black edition though!!!!
Rock on! Love the start up power of these
Dam! Lucky you got one sent to you. Just a few days before the new Arrma release 👍
Maybe to make sure they had videos out since so much talk is about the Arrma?
Man I'm torn on what to get first Tony. This 2.0 Dbxl-e or the New Arrma coming out Thursday.. decisions decisions decisions!
Let’s talk on Thursday
Get the Losi. Looks better and parts galore. The Arrma isn't bad but this looks better and I believe performs better.
I’m telling you the same thing, get the Losi,,,, my grandson and I, we bash this Losi car hard and long and so far nothing has broken!!! Losi is good quality and durability. It will last if you use it judiciously and still having a lot of fun with it!!
Great video:-):-) just subscribed this red color is better than the orange color. Is this 2.0 version have better turning radius than the original???? Thank you.
I agree. This looks amazing in person. Turning radius felt better out of the box.
Very nice!! I'm kinda in the market for a new big basher and I'd take this over the Arrma Kraton 8s any day. Thank you!!

I've pretty much decided which I'm buying but, just out of curiosity, between this and the kraton 8s, which would you buy?
That's cool men can't wait for mine
Great review man but I’m waiting on those running videos 👍🍻
Me too! Can’t wait. Probably won’t be until the weekend 😢
Is it expensive to repair? Replacement parts cheap enough?

They did a great job on the little details for sure I’ve never owned a Losi ever . This video will decide my first losi or not
Losi is all about performance. This is probably the meanest electric large scale on the market. The power it has is insane.
This looks 10x better then my big Axial Yeti kit that I built. The yeti is a total piece of junk and I was very disappointed. It broke every time I drove it. Axial if ya want to putz around. Losi if you want a strong performance car. My Losi 5iveT is the best RC I’ve owned
I love it but I don’t have $1100 to spend on a truck 😂
I no that feeling I have no where to put another 1/5 scale rc
Or just buy a roller for around $600 to $800 and but everything else as you go.
Love it man. Thank you I have the dbxl e and the gasser too.
Will you be getting the new Arrma tomorrow for a review very much looking forward to that
Dbxl 2 or Keaton 8s?
It seems well designed and built. Can you compare it to XMAX?
Good vid... thank you.
I don't have an 8s X-maxx. The designs are way different as well. The motor in this is massive to push it at high speeds
This is pretty! Really like the colour on this, now got to decide whether to get the original or this model 😂😂
That's a tough call. If the original is at a really reduced rate...you can't go wrong. It was amazing too
CCxRC definitely true, will have a looked tonight. But I believe its been reduced from £1200 to £999 in Modelsport for a black friday sale

And is a lot smaller motor. I prefer cars that have motors installed that are big enough for the job so that they don’t need all that extra stuff to keep from overheating. All my basher cars that have fans…now have broken fans from dirt and debris braking off fins
@@CCxRC agreed 🙂, disregard I was wrong, I thought the Motor on the Kraton 8s and this Losi were the same, but yes, this one is larger!
Whats a beauty 🔥🔥🔥😎😎
Great truck, love it , how much cost? 🥰
Would you suggest getting this buggy or the gas verison?
Depends how you plan to run it. If you want to run for long periods of time...Gas. I like the electric. It gives me good fun for 15 minutes. Then I change batteries and run another 15. That's usually plenty of fun for me and all the time I have. My big race trucks I like gas.
Why does no one make a 1/5 electric buggy?
Wow nice
this is way more exciting than the new 8s kraton. I have the 6s kraton so the new one isnt all that exciting to me lol plus i got my xmaxx for big scale
These DBXLEs are so much fun to drive. The power is insane.
Very nice 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻
Great video the buggy is really nice I just wonder why there is no gas version. It’s looking more and more like Losi is getting out of the gas market. 🤞🏻 I am wrong.
Yep 5t smart systems be next
I’m ok with the electric 5t, but would still want gas. Unfortunately so many videos are about converting away from gas these days. I love being able to top it off and keep running without needing 8 4s batteries to get through a race day
@@CCxRC yes me too , just better when i bring both its hard to go back to electric
They should have the Arrma guys rework it so it'll actually perform. And get ridda that horrible Losi transmission noise too.
AWESOME!!
Wait, I'm missing the box! How can you call it unboxing? Not acceptable! Anyway, nice car :-)
Which is your favorite: Losi DBXLE 2.0 or Kraton 8S?
ColemanWorld I really like the DBXLE 2.0. Partly because I loved the original so much. It’s an insane rig. I also don’t feel tempted to try to stunt this one :) it jumps great and tears up the ground with power
@@CCxRC The LOSI looks sweet I owned a 5t years ago. I just wondered because the armma looked like it had some more upgraded parts to it.
@@ColemanWorld This actually has a much larger motor than the arrma. Both are rocking the new Spektrum Smart ESC and receiver, but this is a 5th scale motor. If I recall, the shocks on this are bigger diameter as well and it has metal shock towers. Also the Losi has driveshaft dust boots to minimize wear from dirt. Both are awesome, but the extra money that goes into this one is noticeable.
CCxRC awesome thanks for the great responses 🤓
Going forward!! Love you content!! Back up plan's. If I can't check you in the new year! . 67.. Starcraft50hp Mercury . In the barn 50+years!! . NC❤ back yard RC.AND MORE🏞. Maybe we go down the lake next year. Having some RC.. fun. Outside!! Going forward with..👋✔🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒✔
I bought one a few months ago and just can't get into it. Its not fast enough to scare you, it nose dives if you jump it unless your waaaay in the throttle.
Just have to do a little bit bigger pinion gear
Tony , i think you caused fox ed losi dbpro to be on backorder why they sponsor you serious lol im thinking getting sbr instead which not what i need it hard find bash space on island when time is of essence
😂 Sorry? 😂 There's a ton of cool RCs out there. I didn't know the Losi DB Pro Fox was out of stock. It's definitely a sweet RC
@@CCxRC lol np, lucas still available so many good rcs being released and older ones seems horizon dropping prices . I think you showed how good db pro is more than other yt and was great for marketing for losi we caught up how tough arrmas on but losi usually has quality just pricey
Good video bro, like the truck... one thing though!!! You, me, and everyone else knows that those spectrum transmitters are junk! No range at all and people loosing signal crashing. They come in arrma rigs as well now... horrible horizon get TACTIC stuff back. Best rtr radio ever.
Thanks J Ho! It’s a great looking desert buggy. As for the transmitter, This is the DSMR protocol one that is better then the ones that come with most ARRMA. These receivers can be bound to other Spektrum radios. The other one is the STX2 transmitter that runs FHSS protocol. But STX2 is getting replaced.
Looks like the Murader
Water shop
The weakest area of the chassis(in front of the rear diff) is still looking suspiciously vulnerable. The screw holes also make it even worse.
Anyone makes good fans to keep that big motor cool?
got to watch water gets in tires and breaks the tire foam 60 dollers for new foam
Where's the unboxing?
I cant for the life of me figure out how to turn off the lights. I was hopign the video would mention it. I had to unplug them. The stock radio SUCKED so im putting my futaba in it.
Is it any better than the v1 because its reliability was crap
Mine was very reliable, so I’m not sure how to respond. The stock servo savor was junk, but the only other think I broke was the servo after hitting a curb at full speed and the center/front driveshaft (broke off the pin). The servo savor has been changed and the pin in the driveshafts is bigger, so hopefully the parts I broke are stronger now.
@@CCxRC I also bashed my V1 very hard never broke a thing except for the servo. Most reliable RC i've ever had. I hope the V2 has a better saver. Looks like it.
Dubble beed locks ,,,,,wow
I have air filled 1/5 scale tires
Very nice not big fan of remotes, i put foam cover from old traxxas remote but range not as good as futaba or even tactics
This controller isn't too bad and the receiver is compatible with the higher end Spektrum...which is nice for people who use them.
@@CCxRC ik i may try rugged, bc its compatible. Is the rugged better linearity and range ?
i wish companies sent me $1500 worth of product for free too! lol.
looks like 1/7 scale
Jessie james
Never!! This thing makes a 1/6 scale look small.
5000mah batteries for this car is a joke. You need at least 9000mah.
It's not a joke. It's just normal run time. I get about 12 minutes run time with it if I'm bashing. 9000mah will give more run time, but it doesn't really change the performance. It's also a more expensive battery and doesn't work wtih all my cars. I choose based on what i can get the most use out of. A 5000mah works great in my 4s cars too. So...it's not a joke. I'm just being practical.
Prolly. I just think 12 minutes of runtime on those spektrum 5000mah batteries is to short. You could get 9000mah for the same price as those spektrum smart batteries and get nearly 30 minutes. I have Xmaxx and dbxl e 2.0 both with 9000mah and get 25 to 30 minutes with a mix of full throttle racing and bashing. 🙂
Mmm
It'd be cool if it wasn't electric.... 1/5 scale electric rc's are just weird.
naw its where tis at. forget messing with gas.
Arrma better trucks better price
Nice vid 👍🏻
