I waded through the 1/18.com forum and came up with this from Losi's Rich Trujillo
quote:
"Right now it will only accept our motor which I have been told was made specifically for us. I don't have the exact specs, but it is about the same size as the Orion Big Block. We will have motor plates that will accept other manufactures motors. Although it may seem like it was intentional, the motor is one that slipped through the cracks and it's to late for us to change it."
"Right now the truck comes with holder for 4 AA batteries and is compatible with the hpi type plugs. It also as an adapter clip to run any micro type packs. The cool part is this adapter clip can be adjusted to run your batteries forward or back...more tuning.
We are working on some Lithium (poly-something) batteries as an aftermarket piece. With the Lithium battery which is 7.2 volts, the truck has been clocked at 17mph and it ran for 45 minutes with the stock motor.
With a 6 cell it clocked 15mph, 5 cell 11mph, 4 AA about 8 mph.
I'm hoping to get a video or 2 up by early next week on the Losi site."
