Team Losi Speed-T

Staying true to its name, the Losi Speed-T RC model sets its sights at an audience of truck-slugging speed freaks.  If you've got the driving chops, it can deliver the rest - bad-ass looks, blistering acceleration and an uncanny ability to take abuse.

Pre-trimmed and completely decorated out of the box, the Speed is a heck of a looker, especially with those tight-grip Road Weapon tires.  More than that, it uses high-impact materials throughout its construction, allowing it to live through its share of crashes and bumps - an absolutely vital characteristic at the speeds it can manage.

The vehicle's lengthened, hard plastic chassis keeps its nose close to the road, allowing it to maintain control even at high speeds.  With reinforced body posts, tunable suspension (with lower plastic  arms and upper camber links) and an integrated wheelie bar, it should keep itself steady (well, most of the time).  Equipped with excessively fast motors, there's a chance it can flip (wonderfully, I might add).

It comes ready-to-race with a powerful 4800KV Motor, taking you to speeds of up to 65 mph.  That long-armed suspension does its job wonderfully, though, keeping the Speed-T on all fours, even though it feels like it's going to fly off.  The large chrome wheels should help eliminate sidewall flex, all while looking particularly intimidating.

One of the vehicle's best features is the ability to be tuned to specific driving profiles, allowing it to be handled by everyone, from beginners to speed-hungry experts.  At the upper end of that range (it comes with three predefined settings), this truck runs way too fast - literally.  Powerful, durable and able to adapt at the push of a button, the Losi Speed-T is easily one of the best on-road racing trucks available today.

Losi Rammunition Monster Truck

Some RC "monster trucks" are difficult to distinguish from erstwhile run-of-the-mill bashers.  Team Losi's Rammunition Monster Truck, on the other hand, can't go by any other name.

In close-up photos, there's little to tell the 1/18-scale from the Hall Bros' full-scale version of the  monsterized Dodge Ram Heavy Duty.  It's that realistic down to the last bit of competition graphics.  Officially licensed by Dodge, it features an extra-reinforced shell, two-tone wheels and oversized tires that bring the popular monster truck to your backyard.

Is it monster strong?  The machine’s aluminum, dual-deck chassis and wide-track suspension (4-wheel independent) provides the model truck with the kind of stability and durability you expect from a high-level monster truck.  Expect it to foster smooth operations, regardless of terrain conditions you put it through.

What about performance?  Sporting a commanding Frenzy 370 engine at the helm, you can expect dominating power whether you're showing off its bashing potential or racing with other gigantic rides.  Heck, even the Hall Bros approved it for racing.  It comes with a synthesized radio system, rechargeable battery and charger for full control without interference and longer hours of fun driving.    Other features include dual-steering servos and oil-filled shocks.

Ready to show off its big moves right out of the box, the Losi Rammunition Monster Truck lets you experience the popular Monster Jam staple in miniature form.  It supports a wide range of custom parts, too, allowing you to tune it for even more torque and power when needed.  And once you see how fun this thing plays, that's probably what you'll end up doing.
