They went and did it! – Losi Desert Buggy XL-E: 1/5th 4wd Electric RTR

Losi Desert Buggy XL-E: 1/5th 4wd Electric RTR

 

Here’s a release that is making everyone go wild, the Losi Desert Buggy XL-E: 1/5th 4wd Electric RTR from Horizon Hobby. The new DBXL-E is a large scale off-road machine that comes from the factory complete with it’s own Dynamite brushless power system. That means no more rigging your own power system into a 1/5 gasoline machine. We’re super excited to see this release from Losi and not only did they build something with a cool power system, but they  also get major points for the styling. The buggy body looks great, full interior and a working light bar on the roof. Outstanding! Check out the additional features from the Losi website:

Dynamite® 800Kv Brushless Power System
The DBXL-E comes equipped with a Dynamite Fuze™ 800Kv brushless motor and a 1/5 8S Fuze Brushless ESC. Together, they will allow you to slingshot across the terrain at speeds of 50+ mph* on 8S power.

Flip Top Cage
The new flip top cage makes accessing batteries incredibly easy-all while maintaining the protection of a full roll cage.

LED Light Bar
Run through the night with an LED light bar that adds realistic off-road looks and function. You now have the flexibility to drive day or night, whenever you want.

Revised Shock Package
The new O-ring and shock guides provide this basher with an improved feel, enhanced performance and upgraded tunability.

Waterproof Electronics
The receiver, servo and ESC are all waterproof so you can run anytime, rain or shine.

Aluminum Center Differential
If the vehicle wasn’t tough enough already, the Losi development team has upgraded the center differential to aluminum for added strength and durability-all to handle the large electric motor’s enormous power.

The Full-Throttle Freedom of AVC® Technology
When you’re ready to let the brushless motor off the chain, don’t hold back. The receiver’s built-in AVC (Active Vehicle Control®) system will work behind the scenes, making hundreds of tiny throttle and steering adjustments per second, so more of the motor’s power is translated into ballistic speed and acceleration instead of just flying dirt. An AVC adjustment knob on the included DX2E transmitter lets you adjust how much traction control the system provides. You can even turn it off.

Chassis Brace Plate
A new brace plate adds rigidity and stability to the chassis, giving the vehicle increased strength and durability so you can take on obstacles, jumps and pretty much anything in your path.

MAXXIS Creepy Crawler Tire
Genuine MAXXIS creepy crawler tread pattern tires provide added traction and offer extra control so you can stop, turn and swerve like a pro.

*50+ mph speeds can be achieved with optional gearing.Features
