TLR 8ight-series starter box

The Team Losi Racing starter box for 8ight series vehicles is engineered and designed by Team Losi Racing to be the perfect starting tool for the 8ight and 8ight-T series of vehicles – from the current version 3.0 and 2.0 kits down to the original 8ight buggy. Unlike conventional starters, the starter box does not require positioning pegs, eliminating the need for measuring or major assembly. It features a powerful 775-size motor, adjustable positioning mounts, is compatible with NiXX and LiXX battery packs and comes with an optimised rubber starter wheel for improved contact with the engine flywheel.

Azarashi Redseal ZX-5 conversion kit

Following the Grayseal conversion kit for the Team Associated B44 buggy Azarashi now also have a respective kit for Kyosho’s ZX-5 SP2 buggy available. The set is developed around a new upper and lower carbon fibre chassis that makes use of a 2S shorty-type LiPo battery pack over the conventional 2S saddle packs for a lighter and better handling buggy. The longer 293mm wheelbase helps to calm down the vehicle without scrubbing corner speed or agility. The motor and speed controller are now located on the right side of the chassis opposite of the battery pack. Lighter components such as the steering servo and the receiver found a new home in the front of the buggy. Include in the set are the upper and lower chassis parts made from carbon fibre, a carbon battery strap, new servo mounts, longer centre driveshafts and hardware.

TLR 22 2.0 cab forward body shell & wing set

Coming late September is Team Losi Racing’s 22 2.0 cab forward body shell. Seen for the first time at the recent Hot Rod Hobbies Shootout the newly designed shell sports a very wide and highly angled windscreen and a long roof section that ends in a low shark fin and raised rear area, again with fins to bundle the air towards the new rear wing. The body is designed for the use with the new TLR 22 2.0 and offers more room around the battery section. As usual it comes clear, with window masks and a new heavy-duty rear wing.
