TLR 22-4 low-profile body – Teaser image

Team Losi Racing have released a first image of their forthcoming low-profile body shell for the 22-4 1/10th 4WD buggy. Making its debut during this week’s 2017 ROAR Electric Off-road Nationals, the 22 4.0 inspired shell features a lower cab section, and no vertically fin, making for a more flowing and better rotating body when compared to the cab forward offering. TLR’s JP Richards was the first to run the body in practice and says: “First glance, the body has that new sleek and edgy design. Then you hit the track and it really helps the car have a fluent feel, with a good balance of steering, stability, and traction without the overbearing feel of a tall front cab.” The body is roughly scheduled for a late 2017 release.

TLR 22 4.0 SR 2WD Spec Racing buggy race kit

Coming soon from TLR is the 22 4.0 SR spec racing buggy. Based off of the standard 4.0 the SR was specifically designed for the 17.5T Stock racing class, with an under-ROAR weight and option parts right out of the box. The kit takes the drastic improvements made in the on-track performance of the new 22 4.0 and maximised the drivetrain for spec racing. The car has shed weight by replacing carefully chosen stock 22 4.0 parts with the transmission boast the biggest gains where a direct drive system with a shortened top shaft, an aluminium diff with composite outdrives and aluminium CVA driveshafts with lightened steel axles have minimised overall weight and rotating mass.

JConcepts S2 8ight-E 4.0 buggy body shell

JConcepts have introduced the S2 body shell for the TLR 8ight-E 4.0 buggy. The S2 design, originally made popular for the 1/10th off-road crowd, had a lot of influence over this design. It sports a forward cab, low-profile stance with channeled roof and rear stabilising fin. The front of the pods have deep pocketed and “force-bars” channel some air in a much needed forward position while also providing a more rigid feel to the body. The low-profile side-pods whisk over the electrical and step where necessary and the rear wicker section improves rear-end grip and tightens up the handling. The clear body set includes window templates and a decal sheet and it is a direct fit on the 8ight-E 4.0.
