Losi 1/5th 5ive-T Roller

Losi 5T Roller

The Losi 5ive-T 4WD Racing Truck is now available as a Roller. The same great chassis, toughness and driving exhilaration, but this time you get to choose what engine and RC equipment best suits your needs. They have also left the 4-piece bodyset clear so you can finish it up in whatever colours and wild schemes match your personality. Factory-built as a rolling chassis, leaving you to finish it off with your choice of electrics, engine and pipe.

X-Factory X-6 Cubed 2wd buggy

X-Factory have released shots of their prototype X-6 Cubed 2wd buggy ahead of the release of the final car. This car shown is close to the final version with only a few minor changes between this and final production. The biggest one is the way the ball studs are mounted to the rear tower, in production the ball studs will be in the same location but mounted vertically. As you can see from the photos the Cubed will be an all carbon fibre car in keeping with X-Factory’s recently released SCX-60CF short course and the X-60CF stadium truck. The buggy has a top deck for easily adjustable chassis flex, a new slim design for better cornering and performance over bumps and is very close to minimum legal weight. It will also come with an all new body and medium downforce wing. Expect it to hit shops in June.
