Losi Desert Buggy DBXL-E 2.0 8S 1/5 RTR 4WD Electric Buggy (Losi)
Let's start off with saying I don't blame or hold anything against amainhobbies. I dealt with and purchased many products from them in the past and have always been pleased with them and their service. They and my local hobby store is the only place I purchase from. This is only a review of my new, as of 2 weeks ago, losi dbxle 2.0. First, losi quality very sad especially for a r/c that cost almost 1200.00 and over 1300.00 by the time it was shipped. I work alot and never got around to doing anything with it till tonight 1/16/25. First off while going thru inspecting things I noticed 3 of the 4 feet on the esc were already broken off, obviously from being over tightened at the factory. Not a huge deal cause the 2 sided tape they use is holding it in place and not moving, but still brand new and already broke. 2nd while pulling the cover off the pinion to check mesh and also check exactly which pinion it comes with (13t) I noticed the set screw was loose and pinion gear literally slid right off. So now I'm at the point I feel i pretty much just need to go thru EVERYTHING in the buggy before I run it the first time. Not amainhobbies fault and I don't blame them, but I wanted to buy another one of these for my son and that definitely WON'T happen now. No doubt there is a quality issue at losi and whoever builds their cars. Sorry losi you've losi my future business.

Losi Desert Buggy DBXL-E 2.0 8S 1/5 RTR 4WD Electric Buggy (Losi)
I’ve wanted this rig for a bit & seen the sale so went for it. My buddy has one so I knew what to expect when it arrived. I was sort of bummed originally when I could not purchase the orange & black Fox body but pleasantly surprised I like this one even better far as color scheme. Definitely happy with purchase like always & I would have gladly left 5 stars but body had a couple little cracks so that’s the reasoning on the four stars. I would say get ya one but hearing discontinued?

Losi Desert Buggy DBXL-E 2.0 8S 1/5 RTR 4WD Electric Buggy (Losi)
I have one of these that I purchased used. It is running a max4 12s system.

This is a very large and heavy RC. Out of 70-80 RC - I’d call it my most dangerous. It is a BLAST but the handling takes some work to get “right”. I love mine but I can’t run it in the hard or my street etc mine I do with the Xmaxx for instance. It needs to be out in the open both for fun and safety. :)

Losi Desert Buggy DBXL-E 2.0 8S 1/5 RTR 4WD Electric Buggy (Losi)
The drive of this truck is unreal. If driven scale, it's extremely durable and "toss-able" for such a heavy rig. Handles so much like its little bro the DB Pro. I use 2 9000mah 4s packs with at least a half hour run time at a local pit bike track. Worth every penny. You get what you pay for. Kevin, if you're reading this, you need this. Stop playing around.
