I still run the 4.0...best 2wd I’ve had since the xx. Best results with it at regional level as well.
After 2yrs of running it and not breaking a thing I’ve just fitted some new parts to it to freshen it up:lol:

I'd love to have a go of one. I suspect my lack of skills round the setup side of things means id be just as crap with it as i am with my 3.0 though

Get yourself to any oople series round, we have 1 built up for people to try.

You would notice as huge difference:thumbsup:

Virtually impossible to get a pass out for 1 day never mind 2 :thumbdown:

hi i race on grass down in cornwall.

would tlr 5.0 AC or DC be better?

That Millser is a tricky one, do you always race on grass? If you bought the AC I would recommend a ball diff instead of the gear diff if you are using it on grass or loose surface or wet Astro?

I’m just about to order my ac , would you recommend any option to fit from the off ? Cheers

Hi, options I reccomend are the ally steering bell cranks and drag link and the ally servo horn.

Cheers damo 👍🏼

Hi thanks for reply 99% of the time run on grass has its my home track


AC or DC

We had some wet weather in one of the finals at the oOple Series at Soutjport last week. I ran my ball diff AC car on the wet Astro and it was very good. Won that leg of the B final, the other two team cars run by Lee Fraser and Tom Pattison both got in the A final.

The build starts today. Hopefully it will be done for Wednesday night at Stotfold :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I see you have a Schumacher lay down too be interesting to hear the differences

I'm building it for a mate, but I will have a go Wednesday :D. If I like it ill get one for my boy to replace his B6.

Apart from the electrics its done :D.

Really easy build and everything fitted great. You get the correct parts in the bags to be able to put the kit set up on it. The shocks have to be some of the nicest I've built in a long time. The pistons where marked with the hole size on them and fitted great. I like that the spring retaining cup screws to the bottom shock mount, so it can't come off.
The gearbox case has little inserts that go next the diff eccentrics to remind you which eccentric you have in, I liked it :p. The eccentrics are also rock solid :woot::woot::D.

The battery holder is very much likes other on the market, but one little part I liked was that it located in to the side pods as well as screwing down to them ;)

Ill try and get some pictures up tomorrow.

All done. Schey wheel are only on it to set the ride weight ;)

How are you guys finding the 22 5.0 AC on carpet?

Also, who stocks parts for these TLR buggies in the UK?

I race at Stotfold, so not on carpet, but it is quit high grip. I’ve changed to AE springs as that’s what most set ups show. I’m not the fastest driver in the world, but enjoy driving the car, it’s very easy to drive and jumps well, and I do Ok with it. It only on its 3rd meeting and playing with the set up it keeps getting better.

A mate I race with is regularly in the top 3 at Stotfold with his.

I got my car and spares from Steve at www.rcmodelstore.co.uk. He’s mainly a flying/RTR store and won’t show much on the website. He not been doing the “race car” thing long but is willing to grow it with the “Losi” 5.0.

I would definitely give him a try. If you are after spares then as Steve is new to the Losi brand it would be worth giving him part numbers until he finds his way with it all.

Hope that helps.

If you read back on this post, shops like Modelsport, DMS, Wheelspin are all mentioned you can order direct from Horizon de or any shop with a logic rc affiliation.

I liked the Schumacher at lot, but I found I had to drive it hard to keep up with the guys that race at my pace :). I would say a lot of that would be down to the set up. If I'd spent more time with the car I may have found a set up that I liked.

But, after a go with my mates 22 5.0 at Stotfold I found it easier to drive and more forgiving on his kit set up than the Laydown. I ordered one a few days later :thumbsup:.
