The 22 3.0 SPEC-Racer Buggy from TLR

By: Tim Gluth

Team Losi Racing (TLR) is a popular option among off-road radio-controlled racers. Their array of buggies, truggies, and short course trucks can be seen competing at just about any R/C track you visit. Building on the popularity of their 22 3.0 2-wheel-drive, 1/10-scale buggy, they have introduced a spec-racer version of that same model.

The 22 3.0 SPEC-Racer (SR) will give you everything you need for spec-class buggy racing. Based on the traditional 22 3.0 kit, this spec-class version features lightweight construction and base components to give you a track-ready weight just shy of 1499 grams (when electronics are installed).

Although this kit focuses on keeping its weight down, the components used are crafted with durability in mind and are meant to withstand the abuse of a hard-fought battle at the track. A mixture of polycarbonate (body, gear cover) and aluminum (chassis, drive shaft, front axles,  suspension components) parts, provide built-in strength while still remaining lightweight.
