Exotek have introduced an aluminium front pivot mount for the TLR 22-4 2.0 1/10th 4WD off-road buggy. Machined from 7075 alloy and coming black anodised the part offers a heavy duty design and it prevents costly and time consuming DNFs from failures of the stock plastic pivot mount. The mount is machined out for lightness and it weighs in at only 17.6g. Included are two M3 set screws to lock down the hinge pins.
Exotek have introduced a front camber block with integrated anti-roll bar mount for the TLR 22 4.0 and 3.0 series of buggies and trucks. The heavy duty alloy front camber block was designed for the use with TLR sway bars and it is machined down to seven grams to minimise weight but made with 7075 alloy to increase the strength over the stock piece. The part uses set screw holes to remove excess play from the sway bar and it comes polished, anodised black and laser-etched for wear and looks.
The latest incarnation of Losi’s versatile TEN platform is the Tenacity 1/10th scale 4WD RTR monster truck. The vehicle is build on a ladder-style chassis frame that provides exceptional ground clearance and it features a tough centre differential, racing-inspired 12mm plastic-bodied shock absorbers and a bottom-load battery tray. The truck is powered by a 3S-compatible Dynamite 130A brushless speed controller and 3800kv 550-class brushless motor that allows for a speed of over 80km/h and the control is taken care of by the AVC-equipped Spektrum DX2E Active transmitter. The truck is available in two body shell colours and it comes including a Spektrum FPV mount.

Coming soon from Team Losi Racing is the stand-up transmission conversion for the forthcoming TLR 22 4.0 SR buggy. Originally introduced with the standard TLR 22 4.0, the 3-gear transmission is designed for the use in lower grip conditions and to replace the SR kit’s low-profile gearbox. Included in the conversion are the new gearbox with motor plate and gear cover, a new idler gear, waterfall, battery mount, wing mount and rear shock tower. The set will hit stores late August.

Team Losi Racing have released a first image of their forthcoming low-profile body shell for the 22-4 1/10th 4WD buggy. Making its debut during this week’s 2017 ROAR Electric Off-road Nationals, the 22 4.0 inspired shell features a lower cab section, and no vertically fin, making for a more flowing and better rotating body when compared to the cab forward offering. TLR’s JP Richards was the first to run the body in practice and says: “First glance, the body has that new sleek and edgy design. Then you hit the track and it really helps the car have a fluent feel, with a good balance of steering, stability, and traction without the overbearing feel of a tall front cab.” The body is roughly scheduled for a late 2017 release.

Coming soon from TLR is the 22 4.0 SR spec racing buggy. Based off of the standard 4.0 the SR was specifically designed for the 17.5T Stock racing class, with an under-ROAR weight and option parts right out of the box. The kit takes the drastic improvements made in the on-track performance of the new 22 4.0 and maximised the drivetrain for spec racing. The car has shed weight by replacing carefully chosen stock 22 4.0 parts with the transmission boast the biggest gains where a direct drive system with a shortened top shaft, an aluminium diff with composite outdrives and aluminium CVA driveshafts with lightened steel axles have minimised overall weight and rotating mass.
