Coming from Losi are their new Tenacity 4WD brushed short course RTR trucks with Fox Racing Shocks or Method Wheels graphics. Taking several design cues from Team Losi Racing, this SCT is built on the original TEN platform. It utilises a full metric hardware package and was design to be tough and tunable thanks to its race-engineered composite chassis. The bottom loading battery makes it easy for quick battery changes and the entire waterproof power system uses Dynamite 60A ESC and a 12T brushed motor for speeds of 40km/h right out of the box. Drivers stay in control with a Spektrum STX2 radio with a Spektrum receiver and scale to size Maxxis Razr MT tyres. Finally, the truck features an updated body, coming with either Method Wheels or Fox Racing Shocks graphics.
