I made the mistake of buying two of these for my sons. we spent big bucks trying to harden them. worst RC product and Losi wouldnt stand behind them.
Add the Muggy to this experience - again they wont admit it has major design flaw and i wont buy their kit.
I compete with my Mugen against the 8's and they are a good ride but thats about all i have seen from Losi in terms of high Quality.

It is very cool however that we have more competition in the space now as it will raise the bar for everyone. It hopefully will nudge Traxxas as well.

I'm actaully a little disappointed that Losi a marketing a conversion kit rather than a complete electric 8B/T, perhaps that will follow. It will be interesting to see how the esc & motors stack up against the competition though.

I just watched the RCTV live episode with the Xray 808 . The team driver mentions that Xray might be releasing an electric version in the future .

looks like the ball is starting to roll
