Losi 4wd Micro Rally car

Losi have released this awesome looking Micro Rally car. An agile 4WD drivetrain and powerful micro motor hooked up with a rugged chassis, extended suspension travel and oil filled shocks make the Micro Rally Car a blast to drive on a myriad of different surfaces. Ready to run straight out of the box all that‘s needed to get up and running is to charge the 220 mAh battery and the rally car can hit the dirt. It features a scale rally style body with a choice of four trim colours based on two basic types of livery. The traditional type of rally/SCT livery is complimented with a style more in-line with the looks of popular rally/SCT liveries seen in the US today. Scale wheels and tyres finish off the scale appearance. The built in combined receiver and speed controller keep weight to a minimum but still offer fully proportional control both in forward and reverse and nerf bars incorporated into the design of the chassis also allow a level of protection for the electronics as well as the suspension.

Kyosho Inferno MP9 TKI 2 race kit

New from Kyosho, the Inferno MP9 TKI 2 race kit has been tested and proven at numerous international racing events, and some design upgrades have evolved multiple areas of the chassis platform to a new level. However perhaps the greatest innovation has been the dramatic reduction in cost, despite the significant upgrades and performance improvements. The chassis design focus is on efficient traction and is realized through short suspension arms and unique rear hubs that produce effective traction with light suspension stroke. Shock absorber design has changed from spacer setting adjustment to dial adjustment and incorporates the previously optional shock pistons with tapered holes that produce optimal piston speed and damping power over long running times. Other features include a new low-height body design with less front-end resistance that generates aerodynamics for a competitive edge and stable posture through the air.

HPI Mini Trophy 4wd desert truck

We brought you the announcement of the partnership of HPI and TSA Motorsports last week and today they have released the full details on the new Mini Trophy 1/12th scale 4wd desert truck. HPI Racing delivers super realism influenced by their relationship with TSA. An interesting note about this particularly “special project” is the fact that TSA used the body styling from HPI Racing and shaped the TSA full-size 7200 class truck to look like the HPI Mini-Trophy Truck, so the HPI Mini-Trophy came first.
