Coming from Horizon Hobby is the new Losi 1/5 DBXL-E 2.0 4WD Brushless Desert Buggy RTR with Smart technology.

The buggy features all the technological advances drivers demand including the Spektrum Firma 160A brushless Smart ESC and Spektrum Firma 4-Pole 780Kv brushless motor allowing to hit 80km/h with an 8-cell LiPo battery.
