Ryan Cavalieri rejoins Team Losi Racing for 2021

Keeping with the current Ryan Cavalieri theme, TLR have just announced that they have signed the multiple World Champion to their team. Having started his career with Team Losi back in 1999 at the age of 13, since then Ryan has developed into one of the most accomplished racers of all time, and he’s still going. Here’s what Ryan had to say about joining TLR:

I’m beyond excited to be back with TLR. This is where it all started for me and where I won my first World Championship title and that one will always be special. I’m really looking forward to working with the entire team as we continue to push the envelope of performance. So far, it’s already been amazing and I can’t wait to see what the future holds. Thanks to Thomas and Todd along with everyone at TLR/Horizon for the awesome welcome.

Losi LMT 4wd Solid Axle Monster Truck

Completely designed from the ground up, the Losi LMT 4wd Solid Axle Monster Truck is the first of its kind on the market combining all-out performance with incredible scale detail. Starting with the chassis, a twin vertical plate is designed to provide all of the performance adjustments needed to tune the truck for any situation. Whether you are a scale driver, a basher or a racer, the chassis is designed to accommodate multiple shock setups keeping you tracking straight, no matter the terrain. New multi-piece axle housings surround the 1/8th scale drivetrain. Additionally, the easy access centre transmission comes stock with a centre differential and allows for quick changes with the optional spool for that wheel standing action. For the true Monster truck experience, the axles also allow for optional 4-wheel steering and a new adjustable servo saver to keep the wheels pointed in the right direction. The Spektrum Firma Smart 130 Amp ESC and 3150kv 4-pole Brushless motor allow you to unlock blazing speeds. Drivers stay in control with a DX3 transmitter and a Spektrum SR315 DSMR 3-Channel Sport Receiver. A composite flip top cage adds scale realism and protection, as well as functionality so you can easily access your battery and electronics. Of course, the scale detail doesn’t stop there with headers, drivers and LED lights and Losi have teamed up with Monster Jam for your choice of a Grave Digger or Son-Uva Digger body. Want to customise and kit out your own Monster Truck, the LMT is also available as a Roller.
