Hey @KevinC ...... did @Hammer Down tell ya about the deal he got ??!?!?!?!?!?!??????!!!!!!

I told him to get a hold of a when it comes to that big Losi ya got.... he got the deal of the decade.....

Well, I saw a post a few weeks back from the man, the myth, the legend......that he had gotten himself a DBXL but I forgot ask him......
@Hammer Down did you get one?

Pics or it never happened.....

ya. and wheres @jondilly1974 been?

 

[Hammer Down]

Yea buddy! I was trying not to gloat about what a deal I got. But… since you ask.. I scored a virtually Brand New!! Dibby for $425 with two sets of tires and lipos!!!!
Idk what that’s is in Canadian.. but in American doll hairs these pigs go for WAY more than that. So needless to say I’m pretty stoked!!

Hopefully the person who sold it to you doesn't follow this forum..... thats a LOT of rig per $$$$$$$ !!!! @KevinC I just remember you sharing a lot of insight about the DBXL with me..... sounds like you have a lot of insight on the rig

I will always want one.... until I ever get one.....

 

[Jon NC RC]

Hey Jon, glad you finally got some rc time in!! wish I could have been there to see you hit that planter..
Sorry you had to visit under such circumstances but at least the weathers been nice.

I’ve been super busy and totally forgot to show Kev my new score!! I’ll pm him.

Anyhoo…. Hopefully I can get caught up and get some bash time in before it gets too cold around here.

It was not pretty..... poor planter didn't have a prayer.....

Dang Muthafugga! Phuck me thats awesome.
That's a sweet deal.......green with envy......cost in canadian....1800.

That rig really is brand new right? Those fans at the back are cool.
You going to upgrade it? How do you like it? It's slow out of the box...for me anyways.

I'm going to get a Vitavon chassis and carbon fibre body installed over the winter. Have you seen the Vitavon bodies? Phucking amazing.

happy for you bro... great deal.

ps.
Are those tires on backwards or am I phucked?

cheers,
kev

I know right! Those Vitavon carbon bodies are definitely wicked!!

It is kinda slow with the stock pinion, I’ve got a 16t on the way and will probably get an 18-19t if that’s it enough..
My dream is to give it a full Vitavon makeover but I’ll probably start with the chassis braces and then the bulkheads after that. I’ve heard the stock bulkheads flex and destroy the pinion bearings..?

I didn’t even notice the tires being directional until you pointed it out.

My first car was my first project (we don't talk about the k4s) most of the work was repair but the problem was that I had to stop driving her cause of epilepsy so I barely had her for a year
