Just before the ROAR electric nats got under way, we brought you the spy shots of an all new truck from Losi. It is official now, and the 22T is available for pre-orders! The all-new 22T has a street price of $299.99. Over the past several years, the popularity of the 1/10 truck classes has greatly decreased, do you think the 22T will revive the 1/10 truck class, and bring about new trucks from the other manufacturers? Share your thoughts and comments below!

OFFICIAL TLR PRESS RELEASE:

Like the Team Losi Racing 22 buggy, the unique design of the 22 platform also allows the 22T to be the first truck in the industry to include a rear motor or mid motor completion, the end consumer chooses. Having both of these options opens up the potential for the 22T for multiple track types and driving styles. With the power available from today’s LiPo batteries and brushless technologies, the 22T was designed to be the most durable 2WD racing truck available. All suspension components are 10 to 15% larger than traditional 1/10th race vehicles and more durable materials are utilized aiding in the overall durability of this vehicle.

The hard anodized aluminum chassis, 12mm big bore shocks, adjustable front kick (via optional parts), oversized rear outer hub bearing, bolt-on camber blocks are just a few of the features that make the 22T a force to be reckoned with but the unsurpassed amount of adjustability gives the 22T an advantage over the competition like no other. These features and much more allow Team Losi Racing to introduce a truly innovative and globally dominating 2WD race truck.
