New Losi 2wd

[flode]

This is good news

[styleone]

OK!! thats what I'm talking about!! more news anybody? :woot:

[Anibal Henriques]

Very good news .
Where did you get that picture?
I haven´t saw any prototype in the us races.

[Holeshot]

Never seen them use TLR before.

[Holeshot]

Ok, http://www.tlracing.com/.
Most stores have put the XXX-CR as discontinued and have it on special so it may hit stores soon?

[Aran]

looks amazing, not mid motor but rear motors better in the US right?

they could do a EU version like the losi 8ight, though that could be mid motored :P

[Holeshot]

Hopefully there is a Fourty-Four in the works.

[LRP]

any wright ups on it yet?? it is very breif on tlracing.com (http://tlracing.com)

Hmmm, hack photoshop job (by Losi) or no rear motor in that photo? There's a rear motor in the big photo so I wonder if that means it swings both ways?

No that was my hack "mspaint" job that I posted on rctech. I went to the tlracing site to look at the big pic. When I put my mouse pointer over the smaller pic it filled in with color and I noticed the motor wires. I just copied it into paint and added the arrow and text to point out what I saw. If you look in the small pic you can see the rear shock tower is further back too. Seems as though "it swings both ways"!

[DCM]

It is both mid and rear, with everything in the kit to allow you to do so.... very cool!

[PaulUpton]

There is a slideshow of pictures on the site, looks interesting, some nice stuff on it.

[/tobys]

Looks VEEERY nice!

[Smartalec]

Looks excellent, only thing I don't like the look of is the speedo sitting on top of the motor ........... won't that all get a little warm? :eh?:

[Reevsey]

Don't worry about the speedo ontop of the motor it does fit in behind the servo :thumbsup:

[Smartalec]

Cheers Simon, much better idea :thumbsup:

[cmgreen]

$269.99, thats a bargin compared to other 2wds that are out there!

[burniburn]

This 22 thing looks fantastic, I was not even aware that this was prepared by LOSI! I already wrote them off... If this car works and a 44 will come out I will go LOSI again.

[area52]

22 meets 52 ... :-)

http://www.area52.cc/news/361-team-losi-racing-tlr-22-twenty-two.html

[Legacy555]

Is this a rebranded Durango? Alot of those bits look awfully familiar

[Rocking Donkey]

Comes with all metric hardware? I like it, but thats not very Losi. I wonder if there is a clever way of reversing the motor rotation, an optional 4th gear similar to used on some CR2 conversions?

[Fabs]

Ooooooooh

What a surprise, a new Losi 2WD ! :p

[Cooper]

I want a punisher or bulldog body for it ;-) ;-)

:thumbsup:

[hf integrale]

Looks very good.not been much of a Losi fan in the past.but you've got to admire them
For sticking with a car and not changing for the sake of changing...looks from the pics they have changed shock design...why.I run Losi shocks on my sc10 and they are IMHO the best buggy shocks...good luck Losi

[Delves]

http://www.horizonhobby.co.uk/autoonline/j29_tlr/index.html
:)

[Mr. Red]

Looks awesome. Wonder how they solved the gerabox since it looks like its a 4 gear. Not very good if the motor is hanging in the rear I mean.

[Delves]

Yup 4 Gear gearbox for the mid, and 3 gear for the rear... all in the same box

[Gnarly Old Dog]

Looks excellent, only thing I don't like the look of is the speedo sitting on top of the motor ........... won't that all get a little warm? :eh?:

Even my svelte Castle Mamba Max Pro ESC fits behind my servo - with my Spektrum receiver:thumbsup:

[area52]

I think I spotted two different boxes on the pic with the layed out parts.

Sorry, meant to post this direct link through to the 22 page

http://www.horizonhobby.co.uk/autoonline/j29_tlr/j29_kits/j29_tlr0022_twentytwo/j29_twentytwo.html

Lots of images as well as the specs and features

Ah, ok, I see. :)

[triplesix]

[janus_77]

Looks very nice, but this seems a bit sketchy

http://www.area52.cc/images/stories/autos/content2010/content122010/content02122010/innovative-steering-rack.jpg

[/tobys]

so looks like 2 different gearboxes and shock towers; one for mid, one for rear...

when's this puppy going to be available?!

[Gnarly Old Dog]

I know what you mean but the testing hasn't shown it to be. Even the great British weather hasn't caused any issues with the steering.

It is very impressive...

[/tobys]

So this has already been run in the UK?

No wonder so many CR2's are up for sale!!!

[Mr. Red]

Feb according to our Swedish dealer.

Roll on, February! :woot:

[Delves]

Testing has been conducted in private away from the public both in the UK and the states. Recently rumours have been circulating after the 8th worlds which might be part of the reason people are getting rid of their CR2's

[Gnarly Old Dog]

So this has already been run in the UK?!


Perk of the job :woot::woot:.
Yes - It has been run as part of the global test program but only in private.

Testing and feedback to TLR will continue.

Was hoping to run at EPR this weekend but the man upstairs appears to have different ideas at the moment.

[Fabs]

I wonder who is supposed to have tested the car in the UK :cry:

[phil c]

anybody want to buy cr2 lol

[Legacy555]

I wonder who is supposed to have tested the car in the UK :cry:

Andy Carter has been testing it since October

[Delves]

Along with David Spashett

[DCM]

Any news on a price for the UK?

[MatJohnson]

£214, nice price that http://www.rcracer.com/off-road-electric-articles-112/2628-tlr-22-announced

[Jamie.T]

With an RRP of just £214.99, these will high streets at around £199 im sure.

Looks an amazing car.

[mikeyscott]

Certainly interesting devlopment and I loved my XXCR. Based on my previous enjoyment with Losi, certainly tempting

Hopefully will see one soon on the circuit.

Wonder who the team drivers for it will be and whether any turn up at Petit.

Great to have another strong brand back in the field.

Kyosho
Tamiya
Schumacher
Associated
Team Losi
X-Factory
Atomic Carbon

Any others joining the fray?

Isn't it the world champs next year? perfect timing

[Rocking Donkey]

The more I read the more I like. Things like the front bulk head attached to the bottom of the chassis, thats a new one on me. Everything seems to be designed to work on the car quickly like the shock mounts at the top, not new but good to see in the kit

[Darren Boyle]

@ Delves

Good to see you on a "proper" forum Chris.... :p

Now you just need to "race" a proper class too, now you have the right tool for the job. Looks very nice guys, well done and welcome to the party :thumbsup: (I bet your departed team drivers from last season feel a little :cry: now)

LOL at Mikey...... nice list of cars there mate

[Chris Doughty]

car does look good.... could we be seeing a Red Fire-Engine version on the track soon? :woot:

[MK Racing]

This car looks ace :thumbsup: Can't wait to get mine :)

I am now taking pre-order, the price will not change with the VAT increase as I have worked it with 20% VAT.

Why don't you bring it to the silverstone winter series this Saturday at moto arena Mr Carter????
Warm and dry so won't get it all dirty!!!

[blade]

looks the part cant wait to see it on track

[ryanlownie]

This is awesome news, really good to see Team Losi Racing back with this car. It's looking like they'll be a flood of these on the tracks in 2011.

I'm getting excited about it and don't even race 2WD!

[Gnarly Old Dog]

Now's the perfect time to start then Ry!

Only one choice to make - Rear motor or Mid:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Hello all,

Hans,
I've been running with Yuntong 5000mAH Saddles that are 25mm high - no problems

[hansie]

Hello all,

I saw a hex wheel adapter floating over my screen on that youtube vid.
And i also saw it in one of the photo's, does it accept the standard
Associated and Losi rims?
I've been asking a a lot of questions today.....

greetings

Hans

[MattADH]

I believe its all new rims on the 22 with hex fitting front and rear

[floudas103]

the only minus I see is the hexes...it means you can't use "standard" wheels...:thumbdown:
Otherwise it is awesome!!!!:thumbsup:

UK RRP is £214.99 but I think some of the shops that are taking pre-orders are doing it cheaper than this!

[MatJohnson]

MK has it on the site for 199.99

[Tom3012]

Febuary apparently... DMS £190 pre-order according to the other thread ;)

[tmaxxlosixxx]

NOT A BAD PRICE AT ALL

[liam]

typical....only had a xxx-cr for a month!

theres gonna be afew 2nd hand 2wd bargains to be had when this comes out

Now, new losi or avante? both out in feb

[nicefrog]

This is sooo good to see Losi still has some racer left in it. Very very impressive looking buggy too. Hopefully this will shake up Associated enough for them to finally release something new before the worlds even if they don't especially feel like they need to :)

[watfordtrackwarrior]

looks like im gonna have to get 1 of these as ive been saying for the last year il race buggys again regular when losi bring out a new car 2wd never really believing they ever would lol:thumbsup: lets hope they can win another worlds

[mikeyscott]

V v tempting to pre-order one to replace SV. However nothing wrong with my SV.

[styleone]

Im guessing team drivers need no sneaks at 22...but for everybody else...check this out

[tarotrex]

Why not pre-order starts for Xmas??Can't wait for that long!

[Legacy555]

Losi seem to have got rid of VLA arms on this new car.
I quite liked that feature on the rear of the car and used it quite a bit....

[DanB4]

Been waiting for a new Losi buggy for ages! Woohoo! :)

Will they bring out a new 4wd next you reckon?

[Holeshot]

I just bought a DEX410 so hopefully not for awhile or the wife will get up me :yawn: If they make one on the samel level as the 22 it will be one interesting buggy.

Holeshot, if Losi will design another innovative and (r)evolution 4wd off road, I am sure you'll buy it...or I am wrong. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[stegger]

For those people who have run the car are they running the car with the speedo in standard position ( mid motored position ) ?

[Gnarly Old Dog]

We've managed to fit all our radio on the chassis plate in mid motor config - it helps to use a low profile servo like the Spektrum S6070 that we've been using.
The US TLR photos were taken before the S6070 was available and they featured a full size servo and chose to place the ESC on the motor guard but we have been able to fit the Castle MMP on the chassis with the Spektrum DSM2 micro Rx.

It does fit - honest.

I'll try to post up some photos of my install later this week - can't do it right now but bear with me.

[stegger]

Thanks for the quick response, i'd have problem fitting a futaba 2.4 and SP speedo on the chassis then, but then i'm used to that with the durango :woot:

[Gnarly Old Dog]

LOL - that's the trouble with slim cars I guess.
Si has used the Futaba Rx so maybe you'll be OK. Don't forget the Castle is ma-husive.
Lo-Pro servo is nice though - does free up a fair bit of room.

I think you'll get the ESC on the chassis no prob - might need to be a bit ingenious with the Rx.

I'll post my install up in a few days - just trying to keep pace with everything right now:woot:

Cheers

[stegger]

Yeh no worries, know what you mean same here :woot: Car's not out for a while anyway so no rush :thumbsup:

[till]

i preordered one already, will se when I will recive the car, let´s hope they meet their deadline!!

cheers guys

[SHY]

Looks very promising! :thumbsup:

And I must say I'm both impressed and surprised that they managed to keep the new car secret right up to the launch date!!! WOW!!!

No Wikileaks there... :p

[migsy]

this is a shock to see, a few months out and i miss the new! where did this come from? I want one:D:p;)

[nicefrog]

Looks very promising! :thumbsup:

There was talk here on oople more than 6 months ago that a new Losi that could swap from rear to mid motor was coming. But they kept it to a most likely true rumour rather than pictures :) so that's something

[E-Dog]

My wish list !

TLR 22
Spectrum DX3R
Novak GTB2
Orion Vortex 9.5T
Losi short LiPo x2
:wub

[Mr. Red]

Got two kits reserved:thumbsup:
Got both dirt and turf tracks up here in the north. Easier that way;)

[way_to_hell]

Hey,

Can someone tell me which sizes of allen wrenches and nut drivers are needed for the 22?

Cheers

[MHeadling]

Its all metric, so a 1.5mm,2.0, 2.5mm allen wrenchs and prob a 5.5mm and 7mm nut driver should do it but I am sure on of the Losi team lads can comment.

Hello all,

I was wandering if my zippy saddle packs will fit in the 22.
they're quite high....
if not, that won't stop me from getting one.....

Hans

I have the same question !

Do they fit ? (31mm high)

As I don't have any saddle packs yet, I'd prefer to pay 80$ than 300$+...

Thanks ! Sorry for my poor english !
