TLR 22X 1:10 2WD Race Buggy

Team Losi Racing has released their latest 1:10 2WD Buggy in the form of the 22X, with the kit offered in a DC (Dirt/Clay) and AC (Astro/Carpet) option.  The reigning 2WD World Champion manufacturer started with lessons learned from the title winning 22, and from years of further 22 platform development plus valuable racer feedback.  The result is a brand new buggy design that’s easier to maintain and comes optimised for dirt and clay or astro and carpet tracks, with a ton of adjustability that makes it easier to drive faster on today’s high-grip surfaces.  Key improvements include a hard-anodised 2mm 7075-T6 aluminium chassis that’s lengthened and optimised for today’s higher grip tracks, plus larger 13mm big-bore shocks with 13mm springs for plush landings and quick cornering.  Two front caster block and spindle options let you tune the steering feel to what you want and need on different surfaces; options for wide or narrow king pin locations are available.  The wide location provides a more linear feel and keeps the buggy flatter through the corners. For a more aggressive steering feel, you can choose the narrow king pin location.  The TLR 22X has a new laydown gearbox design with an easy-access differential and idler gear.  You can maintain the differential and idler gear quickly without disassembling the entire gear box which is a big advantage given that the suspension uses the gearbox for all of its mounting points.

New Mayako prototype LCG eBuggy at Philippine Masters

The Mayako team is out in force at the Philippine Masters in Manila and has presented an all new prototype eBuggy that will be a future MPC (Mayako Members Programme) kit release.  Designed by Joesph Quagraine, the Finn says the point of the MX8E LCG is to develop a car for the first ever IFMAR 1:8 Electric World Championships which are coming up in Portugal at the end of August.  A very high grip, technical, 1:10 style track, JQ says now is time to develop the next generation of 1:8 buggies adding they will start with eBuggy, then Truggy, and then a nitro buggy based on the new design concept.  He said the design goal is simple – low centre of gravity, low weight, and suspension geometry better suited to modern racing.  JQ also explained that while the obvious thing people will see is the suspension, this is not the only reason why the car works, team driver Pekko Iivonen proving the car with his TQ run and A1 win in the eBuggy class here at Round 2 of Cayote backed Asian Buggy Championships.  Mayako has developed new shock internals and new springs plus other undisclosed components for the project.
