Team Losi Racing 22 4.0 Spec Racer Kit

By: Tim Gluth

If you’re looking to try your hand at R/C racing, one of the easiest ways to jump in is with a spec-class racer. This class of radio-controlled racer typically has tight restrictions on the motor, gearing and other chassis components. Having these tightly-controlled specifications allow for the vehicles to be close, competition-wise, leaving the driver to find their way to victory.

Team Losi Racing has added a new 1/10-scale, two-wheel drive spec racer to their lineup, and it’s one with a storied lineage. The TLR 22 4.0 Spec Racer Kit is a performance-bred buggy that’s designed to fit within the regulations for popular spec racing series.
