TLR 22X-4 1/10th 4WD electric buggy kit

Team Losi Racing have officially unveiled their all-new 22X-4 1/10th scale 4WD buggy that made some impression at the 2019 IFMAR 1/10th Buggy World Championship held at the Hudy Racing Arena in Trencin, Slovakia. Although still sharing its name with its predecessor, the triple-belt-driven 22-4, the 22X-4 has nothing in common with the previous buggy. Taking a completely different approach to a TLR 4WD buggy, the R&D team has developed an all-new platform from the ground up. Switching to the more reliable and versatile shaft drive design, the 22X-4 is much lighter and has improved driving characteristics while also being significantly easier to build and maintain. The buggy has a combination of features second-to-none including full adjustable suspension, 2.5 milled aluminium chassis, floating servo mount, adjustable motor and battery position, carbon fibre throughout, and so much more. Maximising the flex characteristics for all surfaces, the 2.5mm thick chassis with heavy pocketing gives the correct amount of flex and rigidity for smooth corning, optimised balance, and bounce-free landings. Taking suspension tuning to a new level, the 22X-4 has adjustments for front and rear axle height, rear axle pin position, inner front and rear hinge pin position in all directions, nearly unlimited rear camber link positions, shock mounting positions, and much more.

Klinik RC Cougar Laydown +3mm rear camber mount

Klinik RC have introduced their new +3mm rear camber mount for the Schumacher Cougar Laydown buggy. The mount is aimed at astro and carpet racers that have needed to stack 3-6mm in washers to obtain the correct roll centre for higher grip surfaces. Using the mount adds strength to the rear inner ball mount when running a higher roll centre. With no washers installed the parts offers the same height as the stock geometry with 3mm washer, hence the +3mm name.
