What do people think of the motors are they better suited to 2wd or 4wd, do they have a smooth power delivery?

£130!!!! You need to look at the prices on our website then..............

The feedback on them so far is great, the motor in particular is fantastic.

I run a 6.5 in my 2wd and a 4.5 in my touring car, both are very good

Looking at them, are they just re-packaged novaks?

Glenn,

Not sure why the 10.5 is not shown as a stock class spec, it should be

Medders,

On a fast flowing track a 4.5 is good in 4wd but on smaller more technical curcuits a 6.5 would be better. I am led to believe that a 5.5 is on the way from them soon also according to inside info from Horizon

I've run the 6.5T in my 4WD X-5 (19/108) and it didn't lack anything in terms of speed or punch.

In fact, it's a shame cos I couldn't use it as the excuse why I was so rubbish

Definitely thumbs up - the ESC is easy peasy to program with the smart card idea.

Preddy ran the 4.5T in his XX-4 at the BRCs last weekend and it looked scarily quick - mind you his cars always do...

But rerally easy to drive as the power delivery is smooth.

Do you know if it was submitted? I guess from the point of view of anyone wanting to go spec racing, if it's not on the list it can't be used.

You would need to direct that questrion at David Spashett ay Horizon, he deals with all of that stuff.

Any further news on when the 5.5 system might be coming out?

The current Losi 10.5 doesn't meet the BRCA EB spec for spec motors.
