LOS03004, $300

Due Late November, 2015

Part of the challenge of driving the Losi® Night Crawler 2.0 4WD Rock Crawler is finding a scenario it can't handle. From steep inclines to brutal boulders, this relentless Rock Crawler simply won't quit. That's because this edition of the Night Crawler has been pushed to its limit with even more terrain-conquering features included than before. The result is a rig that leaves nearly nothing standing between you and getting behind the wheel. Not the night, not the weather and not the type of unforgiving conditions that normal RC cars and trucks simply can't handle.

The worm gear acts as a break when no power is supplied. When power is supplied, axle torque is optimized so the vehicle won't be thrown off-balance while climbing. A small gear assembly provides extra ground clearance beneath the axle housing.The included ESC features crawler-specific programming and comes pre-wired for EC3 battery connectors. In addition to being waterproof this ESC is capable of running on both NiMH and LiPo batteries so you can maximize your rock crawling whenever you drive.Massive 4 inch shocks provide smooth operation and maximum articulation without binding. Shocks are also adjustable as well as rebuildable to ensure they maintain the desired suspension performance.A New and improved light bar and rock lights keep you driving well into the night. High-intensity rock lights illuminate all four corners of the Night Crawler 2.0, so you get total light coverage, and the LED light bar can be adjusted for maximum illumination.All electronics on the Night Crawler 2.0 are waterproof, so you'll never have to worry about the servo, motor or ESC when Mother Nature is at her worst.Aluminum front axle and center driveshaft provide superior durability and help to handle the strenuous driving associated with rock crawling. This provides the edge over competitors that use plastic joints and eliminates the need for extensive upgrades.The Night Crawler 2.0 features a battery tray that allows for multiple battery types including standard NiMH and LiPo “stick” packs to any 2.2-inch LiPo crawler battery packs.A 4-link suspension setup helps minimize rear axle swing. A 17-degree bend enables smooth operation throughout the suspension cycling and enables precise handling.The Night Crawler 2.0 electronics and motor come mounted to durable twin aluminum plate chassis that help protect against wear and tear. The plates are also positioned as close to the ground as possible to create a low center of gravity that compliments the crawler experience.Light and compact, the direct-drive transmission on the Night Crawler 2.0 provides an ultra-low gear ratio for rock crawling and features metal outputs for extra durability.True beadlock chrome wheels utilize 12mm hexes to maximize durability. Not only do these wheels provide supreme style and performance they also won't require any glue to help hold a tire in place.Massive Rock Claw tires provide superior grip and add a level of realism to the crawler experience. Rock Claw tires feature Losi's blue foam compound and have the grip and traction to scale through the most demanding terrain.Steering system provides precision control and course-crushing performance. 45 degrees of steering enables the Night Crawler 2.0 to crawl, climb and conquer in the most demanding scenarios without skipping a beat.
