RPM Tenacity SCT/DB/T chassis skid plates

Coming from RPM is a new skid plate set for the Losi Tenacity SCT, DB and T vehicles that helps to bulletproof the popular trucks. The front and rear skid plates are designed to fit both the moulded chassis version of the Tenacity as well as the aluminium chassis option. A key breakage area of the moulded Tenacity chassis is the area located just behind the front bulkhead mounting screws. By tying together the four bulkhead mounting screws with the two screws holding the steering mounting posts in place, the plate beefs up the strength and durability of the entire front end of the chassis, helping to reduce that pesky breakage problem while adding some much needed abrasion resistance to the chassis. As for the aluminium chassis, the skid plates will not only increase the longevity of the valuable alloy main plate, they will also significantly reduce the amount of scuffs and scratches it will receive since the skid plates are the lowest impact point on the chassis. Out back, the rear skid plate adds some much needed abrasion and wear protection for both the moulded composite and aluminium chassis. Drivers will also encounter less build-up of dirt and debris between the chassis and the lower rear bumper mount since the rear skid plate sits lower than the bumper mount. Both the front and rear skid plate are moulded from high-quality nylon material for durability and they come including mounting hardware.

RPM Super Rock Rey front spindle set

Coming from RPM and made for the Losi Super Rock Rey truck is a reinforced front spindle set. The parts have reinforced steering arm ribs that triangulate further than stock, strengthening the steering arm to unbreakable levels. RPM also increased the amount of support material surrounding the axle bearings to improve overall strength and crash survivability. To further the aesthetic appeal, RPM redesigned the brake calliper mounts for a cleaner, more finished look and made them lighter. In addition the stock, heavyweight 4mm king pin retaining screws were replaced with lightweight 3mm versions. This simple screw size change reduces the overall unsprung weight of the spindles by four grams without compromising strength. The spindles utilise the stock suspension geometry and are moulded from engineering grade nylons for durability.

Losi 1/5 DBXL-E 2.0 4WD Brushless Desert Buggy RTR

Coming from Horizon Hobby is the new Losi 1/5 DBXL-E 2.0 4WD Brushless Desert Buggy RTR with Smart technology. The original DBXL-E was a very popular vehicle for large scale bashers and enthusiasts alike. Its agile handling, out of the box speeds and durability make it a fan favourite. Now the DBXL-E 2.0 continues to build on the legendary status. Sharing many design ideas with the popular Losi 5ive-T 2.0 large scale buggy, Losi has built the DBXL-E 2.0 to be cleaner and easier to use, but with performance and speed to tackle any challenge. At home in any environment from dirt to pavement, wet or dry, especially with its 4WD drivetrain with larger 5mm drive pins, the desert buggy makes sure all the power is put to the ground. Drivers stay in control with a DX2E Active transmitter, a Spektrum SR6100AT 6-channel AVC telemetry receiver, and scale-to-size Maxxis Creepy Crawler LT tyres. The buggy features all the technological advances drivers demand including the Spektrum Firma 160A brushless Smart ESC and Spektrum Firma 4-Pole 780Kv brushless motor allowing to hit 80km/h with an 8-cell LiPo battery. Finally, the DBXL-E 2.0 has a Losi and Fox Shox race-inspired motorsports themed livery for that true off-road look.
