TLR 22SCT Short Course truck kit

Possibly the most hotly anticipated release from Team Losi Racing since their revolutionary 22 buggy, the 22 SCT has been developed by racers for racers and is set to bring new levels of performance to the popular 2WD SCT class. Sharing the same design philosophy as the TLR 22 Racing Buggy and TLR22T Stadium Truck before it, the 22 SCT is the world’s first Short Course Truck that can be built with either as a traditional 3-gear rear motor transmission or as a 4-gear mid motor transmission thus endowing it with true Global race appeal. From the dust and clay built tracks that typify the USA homelands, Australia and warm climates to the high-bite Astroturf and carpet venues that characterize much of Northern Europe, the TLR 22 SCT can be built to handle whichever way is fastest on whatever track surface is being raced on.
