Losi's Latest Large-scale Creation: The DBXL-E 2.0 Desert Buggy
Now more than ever, large-scale R/C fans have a wide array of fun and capable models to choose from. If you're 1/5-scale tastes revolve around the looks and performance of desert buggies, Losi's DBXL-E 2.0 should have you covered.
Building off of their original DBXL-E platform, this updated model offers a number of improvements that focus on durability, power, and performance. Among the updates found in the DBXL-E 2.0 are new chassis braces, gearboxes, a new wing and wing mount, larger battery trays, and new Spektrum Smart electronics.
The Spektrum Smart electronics and AVC (Advanced Vehicle Control) system should offer a great driving experience for hobbyists with any level of experience. While a vehicle of this size might not be a first-choice for a novice, you could certainly drive it with confidence.
Two body graphics and color options are available for this large-scale buggy, a black and red Fox Racing model and a red and silver Losi model. Both options include a functioning LED light bar for nighttime driving and also feature beadlock wheel rings that accent the colors of the body panels.
