Losi 22S 2WD SCT Brushless RTR short course truck

Following a couple of teaser videos on social media, Losi have officially introduced their new 22S 2WD SCT Brushless RTR short course truck. Based on the Team Losi Racing 22 race platform, the all-new 22S series truck has taken the performance and durability of the 22 platform and maximised it to become the ultimate Ready-to-Run performance basher. A powerful Dynamite brushless system provides ample power that’s completely manageable with the aid of the Active Vehicle Control AVC technology. The get-up-and-go of the 22S is easily handled by the race-inspired suspension of the championship winning 22 race platform. Several Team Losi Racing 22 platform performance parts can upgrade the look, style and performance of the 22S RTR. With user-friendly design concepts, like a bottom loading battery compartment and hard mounted electronics, the user experience is hassle-free allowing the bashing to begin right away. Included in the package comes a 2.4GHz radio system, MAXXIS Razr tyres as well as a MAXXIS or K&N styled body shell.

Exotek B6.1 & XB2 CF LiPo holder sets

Coming from Exotek are new carbon fibre LiPo tabs and cups battery mounts for the Team Associated B6.1 and Xray XB2 series of vehicles. Both were specifically designed to allow quickly adjustable weight tuning while providing more natural chassis flex due to the “floating” battery mount with only two tabs touching the battery instead of a whole brace spanning from side to side. The sets are made of carbon fibre, the AE set scrubbing about 4.5g of weight while the Xray set is about 4g higher than stock and both include all needed hardware. The B6.1 set is usable for all B6.1-based kits such as the B6.1, T6.1 and SC6.1 as well as the older spec B6, while the Xray mounts can be used with all XB2 and XT2 series kits, however it is understood that JConcepts buggy bodies for the XB2 do not provide enough clearance for the tabs.

Tekno EB410 front & rear swaybar sets

Tekno RC have announced two new swaybar sets for the EB410 1/10th scale 4WD buggy. They make it easier to fine-tune the setup depending on the traction level, from loamy low traction surfaces to high grip carpet. The front set includes wires thicker than those found in TKR6623 and are best used on higher grip surfaces such as carpet or blue grooved clay. They provide a great tuning option to reduce steering sensitivity and prevent traction rolling on high bite surfaces. Included are five 1.5mm to 1.9mm wires. The rear set includes thinner-than-stock swaybars, making them a useful option for low grip surfaces. They will help generate additional rear traction and can also aid in stabilising the rear suspension on very bumpy surfaces. Included are five 1.0mm to 1.4mm wires.
