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.
