LoL yeah I should have purchased the 5Ive B but that was out of my price range at the time of purchase.Doug if you mean for the center diff it was like 90 bucks but if you mean the entire truck probably 2000-2300 give or take a few bucks.
Lol my comment was a low blow for sean??? 90 is a good price??

He is my go to guy for any questions regarding the dbxl. I have two or three more upgrades in mind and then I am done for a while until I save up some money for a new buggy.

Yeah first I got the disks and pads. Didn't fit. Then I got the drive cups. Didn't fit the diff. Then I got the center diff. Didn't fit. Then I tossed all the parts in a box and tossed the box on a shelf and left it collect dust. It was a good chunk of change, I remember my wife giving me tons of poop as I just got it, then spent all kinds of money on it to make it stop better for nothing ?
And yeah we all seem to make the same mistake with the first 1/5 when were being cheap. I wanted 4x4 as I'm not a huge fan of 2wd. (Screw you Z) so I got the cheapest name brand machine I could (used of course) never looked into it.
Lol .....???
Dang it people ! Do your research ?

Just wanted to play, didn't want to spend tons of money. It's fine now, that I've had it for a long time. It's been sorted and works well.

Well I am hoping that mine doesn't give me any trouble or not too much trouble and the next one will be a much better platform.I had the same thought when I bought the DBXL.I wanted electric first because an Arrma would have been much cheaper but I am a combustion engine guy. I love to hear the engine and exhaust ripping around wherever I am driving it so I bought the Losi.I am modifying the body on mine right now for the Jetpro pipe I purchased so as soon as that is done I will post a thread with some pics of my modest foray into the 1/5 world.

You'll be fine, they just need a bit of tlc. Iv'e had My dbxl for 5 or 6 years old now. Just did a big tear down a few months ago. That was only the second major tear down since I've owned it. So cant complain too much.
