Following a first brief introduction during the recent International Offroad Carpet Championship in Las Vegas, Team Losi Racing now officially unveiled their new TLR 22 5.0 1/10th scale 2WD buggies. Coming in three different specifications, as astro turf and carpet-specific AC, dirt-loving DC and stock class oriented SR variant, all base on the same hard-anodised 2.0mm aluminium main chassis, however specific, included, optional parts ensure best possible performance in the given classes or environments. Features identical to all buggies are VLA front arms, all-new front camber blocks with a third ballstud option as well as new front roll centre adjustment that allows for super low, low, medium or high roll centres. Increasing the length of the steering bell cranks and spindle arms, along with changes to the Ackermann angle give the 22 5.0 a significantly smoother steering feel, especially off-centre and high speed while increasing low-speed steering for tighter tracks and 180’s.
Yokomo have introduced their all new RPXII brushless speed controller for 1/10th scale racing and drift classes.

The controller is housed in an aluminium case and it utilises a 30mm fan unit for best possible heat dissipation. Along with the release of the controller comes a new programming card that can store up to three kinds of setting modes to maximise the usability.
