I'm not real bright here, but it looks like Losi is making an 1/8 scale buggy tire???? :rolleyes: :p

[-=ADA$=-]

yea, but it has new bead!! in regular type, on very rutted trucks, my tires got cut by sharp bead, and stons (in turns) with this desing, it shouldnt, provided it will give enaugh bonding area

I think what he is wondering, is Losi going to make a 1/8 buggy.

I doubt it, but you never know these days.

Well in a sense dont they already? I mean, Horizon Hobby, Sportwerks, JR, KO, Spektrum, Losi, they are all partnered am I correct? That would make the Mayhem vehicles fall under that category????

That doesn't mean that the Sportwerks buggies have Losi engineering behind them, just like Losi didn't help develop the Spektrum.

I've heard quite a few rumors that Losi is making its way into the 1/8th arena... not a surprise at all.

Only problem with those tires is that you HAVE to run them with their wheels. Good way to make money but can definitely be an inconvienance.

Hopefully that bead will be beneficial on the track.

Not true-- You could trim off the extra flap and mount those on any 8th scale rim. Not sure how the rims would work with other rubber but with the extra groove it might actually make mounting other tires to the rim easier!

Yeah losi has a prototype 10th scale truck the is very hush-hush :cool:

[adrianderekluna]

i'd be curious on seeing a losi 1/8th scale buggy. i bet the lid would be tight like the XXX.

[rcconcept]

They did the same thing with the LST when they realease a tire before the truck

[paperclipracer]

well a lot of there factory drivers are also driving 1/8 scale buggys
hence why there making a factory team tire now. i cant wait to see a losi 1/8 scale buggy

[Casper]

A lot of there team drivers are running x-ray's and jammin cars right now. It will be interesting to see what the losi car will be like. There team drivers are running good cars so if it is a mix between those two that would be awsome. It will also be great to have team losi parts support for an 8th scale. A lot of the overseas cars can be harder to find parts for.

Give the guy a break. He is from Poland! These are international boards as the internet has not bounderies. Glad he is here to share info!

[TC3Racer]

The best thing about having a Losi buggy would be that its American made and parts will be alot cheaper than most other buggies. Not having to ship all the parts internationally will really help.
