Losi’s 1/5-scale DBXL Gets New Paint for 2016
If you have the space, and a “standard” 1/10 or 1/18 scale radio-controlled machine isn’t giving you the level of fun that you’re looking for, you might be ready to step into the world of large-scale R/C. One such vehicle, Losi’s 1/5-scale Desert Buggy has received a facelift in the form of sharp, new K&N graphics, giving this already menacing beast an even more intimidating appearance.
Looks aside, this nitro-powered off-road machine houses a number of impressive features, starting with the fact that it’s an almost read-to-run (artr) machine, so you won’t need to do much prep-work to get this machine going out of the box. While gas-powered radio-controlled vehicles need a little more cleanup and care, the tradeoff is a truck that sounds amazing and captures the spirit of a 1:1 vehicle in a slightly-smaller package.
