Officially licensed by Ford, the JConcepts Ford Raptor SVT body is inspired from the ground up as an all-out SCT race body.

Losi XXX-SCT rolling chassis

The 1/10-scale XXX-SCT from Losi is ready to take on the short course. As a ROAR-legal rolling chassis, it comes out of the box completely pre-assembled with wheels and tyres. Electronics and motor is the choice of the driver and this means that from the standpoint of putting a race car on the track this all important choice is left to the guy that matters, the driver. It is also a considerable saving for those who want a ready built chassis but would rather choose the type of electronics combination themselves. Another race trait, the body shell supplied is clear. So, all ready to take that all important colour scheme that individualizes the truck and makes it stand out in a race.
