It introduced a lighter, stiffer chassis and refined suspension geometry that gave racers unprecedented corner speed and precision. The “L,” attributed to both “LOSI”, after Gil Losi Jr., who designed the all-new ball joint Tbar/rear pod, and “Linear” reflecting its smooth, predictable handling that quickly became the new benchmark in competitive 1:12-scale racing.

Now part of the Infinity team, the Portuguese driver is joined at the 3-circle ARC International RC Racing Track in Xiamen by Kouki Kato, the Japanese driver making his 1:8 Buggy debut on the large track which is built on the grounds of the massive Sunpadow batteries factory.

Mikimodel 1.2mm Steel Chassis for TC Stock & Modified

Italian Yokomo distributor Mikimodel has introduced a brand-new 1.2mm steel chassis for Electric Touring Car with specific finishes for Stock and Modified.
