Losi Monster Truck XL RTR

Losi Monster Truck XL RTR

So you like big trucks, huh? Well then you’re going to LOVE Losi’s new Monster Truck XL!

This enormous, gas-powered 1:5 scale rig is based on the Desert Buggy XL and brings over the stout shaft-driven 4WD system, Big Bore threaded shocks, anti-roll bars, engine support cage and Dynamite 29cc gas engine.

To turn it into a massive MT, Losi has lengthened the chassis by 4mm and added extended suspension arms, aluminum front spindles and Monster Claw treaded tires. There’s also two S9005 steering servos to keep this beast in line. The cool-looking MT body is available in two color schemes.

As with all Losi vehicles, this one includes AVC, or Active Vehicle Control. It’s basically a traction/stability control system for RC, and it works great!
