Losi Promoto MX 1:4 Motocross RTR

Losi has come out with this pretty cool RTR RC 1:4 Motocross bike, the Promoto-MX. The iconic America brand claim that it is the very first one scale RC motorcycle that accurately reproduces the full experience and pure fun of riding a real motorcycle. Availble in three livery options, the unprecedented realism of the Promoto-MX goes much deeper than its faithfully detailed looks — the narrow frame, rider gear, and officially licensed graphics. Even more impressive is how successfully it captures true dirt bike performance, a breakthrough accomplished through a unique hybrid of mechanical and electronic technology developed specifically for the Promoto-MX. It’s how these technologies work together that makes all the difference.

TLR 22 5.0 optional chassis & 22X-4 Driveshaft Bones

Team Losi Racing has released a number of new options for their competition 1:10 Buggy chassis offerings. First up are two optional chassis for the 22 5.0 2WD Buggy which come in +4mm and +7mm longer versions. The +4mm longer chassis will make the buggy smoother and less twitchy on entry, carry more mid-corner speed, and have more on power steering, but still have enough grip for clay surfaces. A prototype of the +4mm chassis was used by Dakotah Phend to win the 2022 ROAR Dirt Nationals and is the race teams’ choice for dirt and clay tracks. The +7mm chassis creates the perfect length for carpet and astro turf surfaces to produce good consistent lap times. It is very smooth on entry, great mid-corner rolling speed, and increased on power steering for surfaces with very high traction like carpet and astro. Phend took the 2022 ROAR Carpet Nationals using a prototype of the chassis. Both chassis are CNC machined from 2.0mm 7075-T6 aluminium, milled for weight reduction and optimised flex characteristics, then hard anodised for wear resistance and protection.
