RCX! Team Losi Aftershock

PeterV · #1 05-11-2006, 10:30 AM

Official press release:

Team Losi has taken the most desired elements of the everyday monster truck enthusiast and put together the biggest, baddest, most powerful entrance level monster truck ever offered…. The Aftershock. Bigger is better and the Aftershock is the biggest out there dwarfing all comers. Big power comes from a big block M26SS engine through a shift on the fly 2- speed transmission for the best combination of acceleration and top speed. And the transmission is filled with big steel gears instead of wimpy plastic pieces doomed to fail. The power is transmitted through heat-treated steel CV style driveshafts and aluminum cased steel geared differentials to the giant chrome wheels and huge rubber tires. The big rugged suspension arms are controlled by the biggest shocks in the business – over 3 times larger than those found on other models. Genuine rubber sealed ball bearings keep everything rolling freely while keeping dirt and debris out. Big power and big performance needs big control and the Aftershock’s sensational package is completed with another Team Losi exclusive, the premium JR XR2i computer based radio system. There is not one but two metal geared steering servos that allow you to keep control of this monster. The other remarkable features include multiple model memory, servo adjustments, and easy to read LCD screen. Best of all you can customize or personalize your truck with the wide assortment of genuine Team Losi performance and appearance parts currently available.

LOSB0012 Aftershock Nitro Monster Truck w/JR XR2i est. $399.99

Is it an 1/8th scale model?

Dirk Jan · #3 05-11-2006, 12:14 PM

Is it really much different than the LST(2)?? It not that 'shocking' to me...

R/C Kid · #4 05-11-2006, 01:09 PM

Well the price, for one is alot different that leads to assume at least a different radio and possibly the elimination of reverse, not that there aren't enough floating around from folks who have done the reverse lockout.

lfletch · #5 05-11-2006, 01:18 PM

had to do something with the leftover 1st generation LST's

devius1985 · #6 05-11-2006, 05:30 PM

well, who makes the engine??? m26ss isnt that discriptive...

Racing t · #13 05-14-2006, 02:17 PM

thats why I ask, lol.

devius1985 · #14 05-15-2006, 01:48 AM

The losi website calls it a "Team Losi M26ss engine"

http://www.teamlosi.com/Products/Def...rodID=LOSB0012

It could be a Dynamite engine, but you'd think they would've called it a "Mach26ss" if it was.

Ball Racing · #15 05-16-2006, 08:03 AM

Then what do you think the "M" is for?

admiral12r · #16 05-16-2006, 05:41 PM

umm the m is for mach i take it. deff look like a stripped ver. of the the lst1. how do you start it? i did not see a rotostart,(had to edit, and add the pipe is different) reverse or the hi/lo. as far as i see thats it. what else did i miss? i still think this would be a better starter than most trucks out there. what do u think?

TheSnick · #17 05-16-2006, 09:51 PM

Would have been a better buy to sell the LST 1 in tact just with the crappy radio for just slighty higher. This thing is a bit too stripped down for the price.

luvnitro · #18 05-18-2006, 04:53 PM

Does anyone know if the Team Losi M26SS engine that is coming with this truck is basicly a rebadged Mach 26 that is the same engine on the LST2 or is this a cheaper, less powerful engine? It states on their website that it has 3 HP.

CT racer · #19 05-18-2006, 08:57 PM

are the shocks plastic?>

Racer Rob · #20 05-19-2006, 10:48 PM

yes shocks are plastic.

pullstart, you can see it in the pic if you look closely

kawasakirider · #22 05-20-2006, 03:13 AM

If those shocks are plastic I wonder how much cheaper they would be than the metal ones on the other lst trucks. If they're allot cheaper i might buy a set for my savage

tmacfan4321 · #23 05-22-2006, 11:46 PM

on the losi website it says you can use a cordless drill or the spinstart if you replace the "recoil starter" with the included backplate

losifreak2004 · #24 05-23-2006, 05:46 PM

Losi and Horizon aimed to provide LST performance and Team Losi reliability and customer service to consumers for a Savage-level price tag. The Aftershock does a great job of that.

tmacfan4321 · #25 05-25-2006, 08:59 AM

the problem is, my lhs,well at least the guy running the counter, has still not heard about this. Most likely i'll have to order from horizon
