Well, I traded my Hotshot for a NIB Losi rally weapon, and scored a NIB street weapon off the bay for $56 shipped for spares/different set-up options..... I am intrigued by the triple belt drivetrain/center front motor layout, and I've never had a belt drive electric. I'm told these are great cars, made in the late 90's before losi's QC and materials went downhill.

Anyone have any experience with these in the past? They are about 10 years old, and share a drivetrain with the XX4 4wd buggies.

should both be here this week.

I personally don't have any experience with the cars, but they should be pretty good if they're pre- Horizon hobby era.

a belt drive is a really nice thing, much smoother response, and a very different thing for sure. it also decreases your cog and allows for more tunning options

the street weapon, rally weapon and xx-4 all based off the same platform. unbeatable back in the day. probably the best 4 wheel drive platform losi has ever had

have them both, getting them ready for sale. Nice cars, but need saddle packs and I don't have any - not going to invest in them
