X-Factory TLR22 carbon fibre battery strap

X-Factory have announced a new carbon fibre battery strap for the rear motor TLR 22. The new CF strap installs with just two screws through chassis holes already in the 22. Removal of the old cloth Velcro straps and installing the dialed new CF part takes less than five minutes. X Factory made the first one specially for the Bill Bridges benefit race last month, and they were so popular that they decided to produce them for the public.

Losi 22 RTR 2wd buggy

Based on the TLR 22 Buggy Kit, the Losi 22 RTR has all of the performance characteristics of its racing cousin but with a few minor differences in materials used and what is included. The Losi 22 RTR is equipped with all the components needed to have fun driving anywhere, or to be raced competitively. It can also be easily upgraded to the TLR 22 standard. The 22 RTR is equipped with the same suspension geometry and durability as the TLR 22 and uses a serious electronics package by using a Losi brushless sensored motor and speed controller that can be raced in competition. This RTR is piloted by Spektrum technology via the DX3E radio and SR300 receiver and to control the steering a Losi extra high torque servo is provided to give the 22 RTR a precise and optimum steering response. The 22 RTR comes built in the rear motor configuration only, but the parts can be purchased to convert the chassis to a mid motor configuration.

Pro-Line have released their BullDog shell for the Losi TLR22 in both rear and mid motor configuration.

The new mid motor body also features a large scoop to maximize clearance and air flow to your motor and electronics.
