    Just got my new losi dbxl 2.0 gas running. Wow. What a driving experience. I’m used to electric, this is a whole new world. Neighbors may not be as happy though 😂

      Fun rc for sure a cut off switch really is needed as I had receiver fail and had a run a way but I love 2 strike rc for sure 👌🏅

      My shift changes daily but I start early Monday and end up late Friday Saturday as they require 8 hours off before a new shift for a commercial license 🤓

    A friend of mine just got one of these, i was very surprised with the weight of it, definitely a fun and impressive looking Rc. I think ill just stick to the 6s rigs for now. Just the wear and tear looks expensive enough not to mention if your crashing all the time. £££. Great vid bro love watching your repairs thanks Earl.

    The old bent pivot balls strike again. I went through several on my Outcast. Finally, I just ordered the titanium ones from Scortched RC. Haven't bent one since, but I'll keep trying. 😅

    I’ve had my x maxx crap out a lot more than my outcast 8s exb, like the esc and plastic servo that comes with a traxxas 1k rc dont forget about that now lol

      I’ve only had one servo ever fail that was my 8year old one and never had an esc fail since the original version xmaxx as you’ve noticed on my channel my rock n roll xmaxx has had only one arm brake and one tire fail and still going strong on all the hard bashing I’m doing 6 month now all stock 👍

    It is nice getting a fresh new body...looks great on the channel. As for me I patch or reinforce the area around new cracks after a run. I don't Shoe Goo/Drywall Tape the full body up front...just a lot of time and materials. By the time I'm done with a body, it looks like hell, with some areas having a ridiculous amount of layers of patching LOL!
