HorizonRC.com Review – Losi 1/10-scale Night Crawler RTR

Buy or find more info about the Losi Night Crawler please visit the link below: www.horizonhobby.com Crawlers have truly burst onto the scene, thanks in large part to Losis multiple entries into the class. The 1/10-scale Comp Crawler raised the bar in many areas in terms of performance. For those who are looking for premium performance without the premium price tag, Losi has the perfect truck for you in the 1/10-scale RTR Night Crawler. Borrowing many key designs and features from the Comp Crawler, the Night Crawler brings some different twists to the crawling game and gets you up and running in no-time flat. I was able to take the Night Crawler with me when I headed to the recent Spektrum Off Road Championships held at S&Ns Trackside Hobbies, my old home track. They have recently set up a crawler room with a wide variety of different obstacles, rock formations, elevation changes and more. With a bunch of charged packs, my daughter at my side and my camera at the ready, we took to the course to try to get a better grasp of this whole rock crawling thing. Ill admit that I havent hopped on the rock crawling bandwagon before now. I mean its crawling rocks and going over stuff, how hard could it possibly be, right? Well, after spending a few days with the Night Crawler, I have to admit that I get it now. Rock crawling is a very cerebral experience, much more than I ever gave it credit for. While many may consider 1/12-scale on-road racing as the RC equivalent of a chess match

    @nubetube513 Pretty much anywhere that has major obstacles to crawl over can become a crawling course.

  2. nubetube513 says:

    Great video, definitely thorough on the rock crawling sport, but I think I’m gonna stick with the quicker vehicles for now. No tracks or construction sites to play in out here. Is there any competitions held any where for rock crawling?

  3. SUNSETRETREATSXM says:

    Good professional review and nice car.

  4. HorizonRCdotCom says:

  6. HorizonRCdotCom says:

    @bossman5341 1/10 2.2? I don’t know what vehicle you’re talking about.

  7. bossman5341 says:

    Do you know if the 1/10 2.2 comes with a remote and batry

  8. HorizonRCdotCom says:

    @traxxas441 I’m seeing it for $299.99 on the Losi site too.

  9. traxxas441 says:

    @HorizonRCdotCom sure not on losis site

  10. HorizonRCdotCom says:

    @traxxas441 It’s cheaper. The RTR is $339.99, the BND is $299.99 on the Horizon Hobby site.

  11. traxxas441 says:

    i have a question, they have the new bnd version out and its the same price as the rtr, why? with the losi mini and micro the bnds were alot cheaper,

  12. HorizonRCdotCom says:

    Yes, you should have good power and runtime with that.

  13. underdark321 says:

    wod 3600 mah be good

  14. HorizonRCdotCom says:

    I know Losi has a 5000mAh LiPo right now, I am sure you could get higher but runtime is honestly not an issue on these trucks. I ran a Dynamite 5300 in the truck too and had over a 20-minute runtime, no problems.

  15. DocMojave says:

    What is the longest lasting battery kit for the Losi 1/10 Night Crawler?

  16. HorizonRCdotCom says:

    Way to go! Congrats!

  17. HorizonRCdotCom says:

    Think of it like a corkscrew. Instead of having a ring and pinion gear setup like conventional transmissions the worm gear is mounted vertically in the transmission case. Check out the link to the Night Crawler’s page in the more info section, there are photos of what it is and what it looks like.

    awsome rtr. i took 2nd in sportsman class at the local course with a near stock night crawler

  19. jacobtraxxasman says:

    what’s a worm gear?

  20. HorizonRCdotCom says:

    I used a Losi 5000mAh LiPo.

  21. jackbike70 says:

    what kind of battery are you using

  22. HorizonRCdotCom says:

    Run time was not an issue. I stopped more often just to take a break than because of the battery.

  23. BOLTONxVALLEYxRIDER says:

    i am very interested in purchasing a night crawler for myself. if will be my first crawler. would you say that its a good choice? and how much run time did you get out of it? thank you.

  24. HorizonRCdotCom says:

    I was pretty impressed with it.

  25. ALWAYSATHREAT says:

    is the night crawler worth the money
