Welcome,
# 1 upgrade should be kill switch
Air intake = I like the triple dome with red neck outer (not impressed with outer wears, they help) but good cleaning and oil after use is by far best practice.
Rock crawling with 1/5 scale gas be a challange for sure (clutch engagement rpm) IMO
Parts
I like DDM, as mentioned above, great service, parts solection, prompt shipping
they HAVE NOT LET ME DOWN YET
thanks!!@scallopking It looks like the guys have you sorted out. Good luck and have fun.
Just wait till the losi rock rey is out for a bit for 1/6 scale rock/trail rig....I wouldn't bother with a gas truck they don't have near enough gear for it or reverse.... not to mention no drag brakes or the like.
Something I forgot to mention, yours is new so losi may have updated by now.... the shocks suck! Even after heavier springs and tons of wasted oil, i bit it and went to 5ive t front shocks all around. Greatly improved the "jumpability" of the dbxl and a lot less nose dives coming off a jump. Not something I would worry about right away. I just broke a front sway bar mount the other day, fixing it made me think of how much I couldn't stand the stock shocks. Here's the how to link.

Evssv, how does the body fit with that? I tried it on mine and the filter was pushing my body out.Dt1 filter+ v stack+outwears on my losi 5b.. .so it will fit ur dbxl dude

Its only done 1 n half tanks from new... and ive not took it out yet....as i need to do the engine mesh mod as doug reminded me..but yeay its spot less flickr linkHey why and how is that thing so clean
Altenatively. Instead of a killswitch you can get a piece of rubber band and or a spring.

What this does is that if all electric systems fail, no radio, no killswitch no nada nothing. The engine vibration is enough to pull the servo back to neutral and slightly into break territory of the servo. I don't know a single person who use killswitches due to the amount of potential gremlin issues that they have been known to cause. From engines refusing to start or refuse to stop or start and stop contantly or some other irritatant. A rubber band is a lot cheaper and always work regardless. Use a spring if you want to be fancy about it. Killswitch is a religion at this point.

this is most excellent - thank you.
evssv. so what does the v stack do aside from more air flow I think? And can i ask, what parts I need to match up? I looked at DDM and there's a few different ones. Thank you very much. And if I had this do I need to upgrade anything else? I am doing the pipe upgrade so far.
Mind you. I mostly run mine at a closed place. If you plan to run it in parks or places where there are plenty of other people. Do both. Killswtich+rubber band. If mine fails. At worst it get a rearranged front end. The run away scenario in a place with people, especially people who are unware of how heavy these things are, can turn real grim. Just be aware of engine issues after you install the kill switch and always unplug that first. Before you do anything else with the engine. In case of issues, I mean.
i love this vid....sooooo funnywow didn't even consider a run away DBXL. That would hurt. I have a couple large empty lots around me and will just run it there. People run their ATVs through them so there's a soft dirt track already in. But should it run away there or even just flip and I am not close to kill it or turn it over I imagine the kill switch is good there too. Yeah so got to figure out the kill switch addition. thank you!
