Losi 22S ST 2WD brushless RTR

Horizon Hobby have introduced the new Losi 22S ST 2WD brushless ready-to-run stadium truck. Based on the Team Losi Racing 22 platform, the all-new Losi 22S ST RTR has taken the performance and durability of the 22 and maximised it to become a Ready-to-Run performance stadium truck. A powerful Dynamite brushless system provides a great amount of speed and power that’s completely manageable with the aid of AVC Active Vehicle Control technology. The get-up-and-go of the 22S is easily handled by the race-inspired suspension of the championship-winning 22 race platform. With user-friendly design concepts, like a bottom loading battery compartment and a chassis designed to be extremely easy to wrench on, owners can spend more time racing and less time swapping batteries or wrenching on the truck. Additionally, if owners want to take their experience to the next level, they can upgrade the Losi 22S ST with various Team Losi Racing 22 platform option parts and accessories. The truck is available in a blue livery with black wheels or a red livery rocking white wheels and it comes including a Spektrum DX2E Active radio and Spektrum servo.

JConcepts Stampede ’51 Ford Panel Grandma body shell

Coming from JConcepts is the 1951 Ford Panel Grandma body shell for the Traxxas Stampede monster truck. The “Grandma” was one of the most feared vehicles in monster truck racing during the late 1980’s. The 1951 Ford Panel truck was mean, a little green and always known for the most amazing single qualifying passes. JConcepts went to work creating the 1951 truck by once again starting from scratch to redefine a generation design from the “golden years”. The hood of the truck makes its point with a swooping radius and raised badging. The front fenders boast a large set-back to the hood which makes that undeniable stance as a 1950’s panel truck. The stand-up cab screams retro while the side windows are small but large enough for a scale driver to take a look outside. The body line along the side separates the sides to break-up the height between the fenders and top of the dome. The rear fender flare kicks-out in a vicious way to protect chassis components while giving the rear of the vehicle an almost car-like flare. The Ford truck has built-in running boards featuring a diamond-plate look which is found on the real monster while the wheel well openings are slightly enlarged to accommodate a large assortment of jumbo tyres and specifically, JConcepts’ Rangers and Fling King tyres. The front grille is made as a secondary part to get the utmost detail and 3D design which can be painted or decorated off the vehicle for the most convenience. After trimming, the front grille can be attached (using not included double-sided tape) into the recessed portion on the body as the finishing touch to this ultra tough and memorable piece. The body comes clear, including window masks and a decal sheet and it fits all Stampede-based Traxxas monster trucks.

JConcepts Ford F-250 Traxxas Stampede body shell

Coming from JConcepts is the Ford F-250 body shell for the Traxxas Stampede truck. The 1989 Ford body built and fit for the Traxxas Stampede offers first class styling and its exterior is accentuated with a smooth and moulded front and rear bumper. The must-have body of the 1980’s was featured on several of the most popular full-size monster trucks during this generation and always proved to be popular among the Ford enthusiasts and always wreaked havoc on the competition. The 1989 F-series carries over the same body style from the previous generation, yet sports a new rounded front clip that improves vehicle aerodynamics over its predecessors. The softened body lines around the rear of the bed and large fender arches around the wheel wells provides the scale monster truck look. The body features flush-fitting grille and headlights, wrap-around parking lights, a minimalist grille and an accurate and clean-looking Ford and JConcepts decal sheet.
