Any sign of the 1/24 Losi's?

Seen adverts and a review of the new 1/24th SCT and truggy but no one seems to stock them yet? Horizon site says March 2012!!!

Not sure where you have looked, but most of the bigger shops all have them in stock and listed.

We have had them all in stock since the early part of this year, we have the Rally Car, SCT and Truggy all on the shelf and readily available - www.dms-racing.com (http://www.dms-racing.com)

could these be the solution to outdoor racing vs the weather in the UK?

all you need is a patch of dirt and a reasonably large tent :lol:

Ah, ok did not realise there was an i on the end of the part number.....ooops

Anyone got any feedback on the brushless ones? Good for the bad weather as above?

Great fun! Definitely go for the brushless as its way cheaper than converting a std one. The range on the 27mhz brushed ones is rubbish and they get a lot of interference.

I raced a brushless one in a round of the 1/18 nationals and I was not the slowest!

Plus for mucking around you can throw a 3s lipo straight in the brushless one and turn it into a missile!

The car could fit on my hand easily.

The lipos a tiny - 200 mah but would do 9 minutes at racing speed!

No this one was a project car that I bought second hand. The guy had but it but not managed to get radio gear in under the bodywork. After some fettling I was able to fit a micro servo in under the body.

The carbon chassis is made by exotek. Looks lovely but not really needed.
