HorizonRC.com Preview - Team Losi Racing's 1/10-scale Comp Crawler

[TheToughtimes]

I've heard that losi is going to discontinue the LCC soon is that true? Thanks

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@TheToughtimes I have not heard that

[rcwinner1]

Hey would this be a good first 1/10 scale rock crawler?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@rcwinner1 Yes, especially since it comes out of the box preassembled for you.

[tobychong14]

I'm havin trouble getting power to get up curbs and stuff I'm running a traxxas power cell 7 cell battery with a Novak 45 turn and rooster crawler esc my charger is an onyx 235

[MotorsportMonkey]

Im using 2s lipo's i use a 2s2p40c lipo, 35t brushless crawler setup from speed passion is a brutaly slow but epicly torquey beast for relativly good money for the electronics spektrum dx3c is more than good enough for full dig controll aswell, best easy upgrade... HOT BODIES/HPI ROVER EX (pink compound) best tyres for most rocks unless its wet are alot better than the standard tyres!

[hluiz509]

What gearing would you recommend, if using a tekin 35t brushed motor. Anybody?

[CrossmanM]

So when you buy this thing its ready to crawl?? or what do i have to get? im wondering cause i just bought one thinking there ready to go out the box but im reading i need some stuff. . . Please anyone let me know

[TheGoldenRobot]

Can u put the electronics from the losi 1/18 raminator on it cuz i got 2 of them sitting broken on my shelf.

[MCgangsta11]

witch is better ax10 or comp crawler?

[donttrywhatido]

i was wondering if you could like make a cart on the website that has everything needed for the truck and then give me the link cause i am just starting this hobbie and dont really know what i need so if you could put all the stuff needed into a cart and give me the link that would be so hepfull and thanks if you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[donttrywhatido]

could you tell me everything that i would need to purchase for this truck and where i can find it if so reall hepfull thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1120691]

thanks man o and do u need the dig servo or dose it come with it

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@1120691 It is not included, you'll need that separately.

[1120691]

ok i need help what do u need for the losi comp what r all the things u need for the crawler

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@1120691 Pretty much all your electronics so ESC, Motor, Servo, Receiver and transmitter along with battery and charger. OH, and paint of course.

[qntt2002]

@HorizonRCdotCom Can you use a Spektrum dx8 with it? I am a helicopter guy just getting interested in crawlers and I am not ready to invest in a new radio.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@qntt2002 You would need to use air receivers but technically yes. The main thing is you won't have the throttle springs on the left stick so you'll have a hard time getting in neutral.

[1120691]

what tip of remote do u need for the dig and do u have to put a brushless systems in the truck and do u have to a lipo on to

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@1120691 Something like the DX3S would work well. You do not have to use a LiPo or brushless but many do.

[jacobtraxxasman]

dude horizon u don't ned a 230 dollar esc and motor i mean omg it's 230 dolars i could use a 45t motor and ec for 80 dollars less!!!

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@jacobtraxxasman We've never said you have to use a brushless system, simply provided that info as an option. If you check out our website we have a Comp Crawler completion article where we reference some less expensive brushed options too.

[dgenerationx767]

how much does one of theses cost, with every thing included, and what motor and esc do u recommend

[HorizonRCdotCom]

If you look under the "More Info" section of the video there's a link right to the product page on the Horizon Hobby Website. There's a suggested setup section on there.

[orangesodap0wns13]

thanks

[jwd000]

wats the top speed of it?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

Very low, but it all depends on what motor and gearing you use. Crawlers are designed to go over things, rarely is top speed ever hit or needed.

[HarisKhoso79]

Can U tell Me some Very Reliable & Cost effective Setup for it Plz & how to install Futaba 4pk in it. Do I need a BEC for the Receiver R604FS or not?

I,m planning to buy a JR DS8711 for the steering. Plz Help Me, awaiting Ur Responce,

Thanks.

[HarisKhoso79]

I,m planning to buy the Comp Crawler but people's feed back in the Forums is a bit Scarry as the Problems they generally talk about the Comp Crawlers such as CVD's or Opening the CVD & checking & Greasing it, but why when it's New & also the Worm Gear, I,m a lot Confused, Could U give Extra Details on Matters such as these. Plz Help cause I Live in Pakistan & I,l be getting this from USA so as I have No LHS here It would be difficult for the Support.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

I would check out the forums on the Losi site specifically addressing these issues. I've spoken to Rich Trujillo, the lead designer of the Comp Crawler, regarding the CV issue and he assures me they have it fixed.

[NakedStick]

Absolutely wicked review!

[OXO046]

Can i use the dig with a Spektrum DX3S V2 3CH?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

I'm pretty sure you should be able to. I don't think the 3rd channel operates any differently on the DX3S as the DX3R and I know that works.

[OXO046]

Ok thanks. What battery does it use eg saddle or stick packs.

Just want to know because im thinking of getting into this part of the hobby and i have 500 euro to spend on truck and this look to be the best out there.

[Paintballboy54]

What kind of battery does it use? does it come with a charger

[HorizonRCdotCom]

Use a LOSB9871, and no, the charger is sold separately.

[PokerChipNut]

Is it possible to shorten the wheelbase to 28.7 cm (11.3 inch) instead of the stock 31.2 cm (12.3 inch) wheelbase? I want to use it as a base for my F-350 crawler but the wheelbase is too long...

[Kminatz]

im really wanting to get into rc crawling

will it be possible to build up a loci comp crawler ready to run for $500 or under with a good motor

[HorizonRCdotCom]

If you already had a radio and battery it'll be close. You can get the Comp Crawler for $284.99 on the Horizon Hobby Site and a Losi Xcelorin Crawler Brushless System (LOSB9585) for $224.99. This is just over your $500 mark and you still need servos and a battery. I think for under $600 yes, you could.

[benzy2]

You don't need brushless. A 55T brushed motor will keep you plenty happy. The worm gears remove the need for an esc with drag brake so just about any esc will work. I would add a decent metal gear high torque servo and then whatever radio you can afford. Should be around $500 especially if you use a cheap tx/rx combo or already have one.

[NeXt559]

55t is way too slow for the gear reduction in the worms

35t would be a muh more resonable motor bet even then its a little slow to some

if you're willing to drop some coin i'd go w/ a 7t cobolt puller. not too sure if there is enough room for it though

[plorwax]

your reviews are great, I really like them.

5/5 !!

[silverstarnc990]

I have one of them it does arch very much at all

[A1T1L]

hey cool vid i was woundering what kind of nice losi rc car that goes fast but is sorta cheap wat would u reccommend?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

The Losi 1/10-scale Desert Truck and the 1/10-Scale Slider are both fast out of the box and pretty budget friendly too. We have videos of both here on the site.

[joe0wnzu]

losi raminator

[timbulb]

I've been totally surprised by my 1/18 Mini-Baja (now called the Limited edition or something, due to legal reasons)

[roughandlola]

BLAH BLAH LOSI LOSI BLAH.

All I heard was losi is taking all the fun out of it and doing all the work for you.

I have heard they break too easy as well.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

Unless folks share specifics nothing can get passed onto the team to see if there is an issue. I'll give this a little more time but if there aren't specific examples this adds nothing to the discussion and will be removed.

[roughandlola]

Surf the crawler forums, people are breaking things before they even get outside.....

[rccrawlerboy]

it brake to easy

[HorizonRCdotCom]

What do you mean?

[rccrawlerboy]

friend had one it broke in like 2 seconds and the hobby shop said they sold 10 9 Broke in 1 day

[HorizonRCdotCom]

What specifically? Have you or your friend spoken to Losi Product support?? I know they did a ton of testing on this truck before it was released, I'd be shocked if it was fragile.

[rccrawlerboy]

axles and axle stubs

[HorizonRCdotCom]

Hmmm, I posted a reply yesterday but I guess YouTube blocked it because I had a URL/E-mail address in it. If you are having an issue e-mail us at the address under the "More Info" section. We'll try to help anyway we can.
