Red Bull Athlete Mitchell DeJong Joins Team Losi Racing

Posted by Tim Mohr @ 1:48 pm. Filed in: Industry News, Losi

You may know the name Mitchell DeJong from a special edition Traxxas Bandit Buggy, while others may know him as being a 15 year old Red Bull Racing off-road prodigy. There is no doubt he is a superstar on the rise, he’s won multiple titles in full scale off-road racing and is likely to win many more.

Recently DeJong signed on with Team Losi Racing/TLR. It will be really cool to see DeJong help promote TLR products (and the rc hobby in general) to the mainstream during his full scale off-road racing. The press release also stated that he’s an avid rc’er, so look out for him on the local tracks in SoCal with his Losi Ten-SCTE.

Thank Goodness It’s Friday, we’ve been working our tails off all week for it to arrive. How about another TGIF Mystery Link?

T-Bone Racing (TBR) Extra Bumper Support for Losi XXX-SCT

Posted by Tim Mohr @ 10:43 am. Filed in: Losi, miscellaneous, New Products

Why would you need a “rear bumper support”? If you don’t know why, then you don’t need one. However, if you are a hardcore basher you’ve already destroyed a dozen rear bumpers from demo-derby and rear-end landings and you know they aren’t cheap to replace.

T-Bone Racing (aka- TBR) has just released a new rear bumper support for the Losi XXX-SCT. The rear bumper support will help keep your stock bumper intact during even the most hardcore of bash sessions.

How much does one of these go for? Well street price is a measly $18 and you can pick one up right now off the TBR Website.

Now we can really dial our micros in for maximum handling and traction. TheToyz upper arms are constructed out of aluminum, not only for the bling factor but to also withstand a beating.
