The Backyard – Round and Round
Greetings all and a Happy Friday to you! Welcome to The Backyard.
I actually admire working this submit each Friday, as a result of Thursday is the day that the passion trade drops most of its information. And this week didn’t disappoint! Out of nowhere, the Losi 22S Sprint Car was introduced!
Losi 22S Sprint Car was introduced!
This is each a stunning announcement but additionally sort of not likely. One of my predictions for this yr was that scale oval racing was going proceed to develop in recognition and see some massive releases after the latest success of the 1/12 Losi NASCAR, the Traxxas Slash Modified, and a number of the cool smaller scale 1RC releases. I’d say the combo of the Losi Sprint Car and forthcoming 2025 NASCAR bodes extraordinarily properly for this to certainly be true!
While an oval automobile wasn’t actually a shock to me, a dead-nuts scale Sprint Car was/is a shock. They completely crushed the look of this. Even if you happen to had been by no means going to run it, it will look superior on the shelf of any winged race automobile nut. Those wheels and tires- chomp!
Thankfully although, it seems to be prefer it was constructed to race. If you’ve any curiosity within the automobile, I might strongly advocate the video beneath because it goes intimately on the design and engineering of the automobile.
I used to be a mud oval racer again when the unique Losi Slider dash automobile was on the market, however not many used it as a result of it wasn’t a real race automobile just like the kits from Custom Works and the like. This launch seems to be like it’s.
Gun to my head, essentially the most enjoyable r/c racing I’ve ever skilled is dust oval. Yep, much more than monster truck racing. Slugging it out on Saturday nights with late fashions, dash automobiles, modifieds….it was a freakin’ blast.
Hopefully this proves to be a preferred launch for Losi and many of us discover their solution to oval racing due to it! Head over to their Losi Sprint Car web page for particulars.
Ok, that’s it for me this week, people. Until subsequent time, hold it on all 4’s!
