I was more impressed with the car before the body off pics . Aluminum chassis, so heavy and wears out . Mid motor looks like a rip off of new TQ car . And sliding rack steering ? Does it come with a dust bootie too?

Horizon has a nice some nice pics up of it as well. And I LIKE the price tag way better then I was thinking it would be.

Only ? I have is can you still run regular lipo's or do you have to use saddle packs with the trans in the rear position

And only thing that I don't really care for is the steering rack on it, seems kinda hard to keep it nice and smooth without wearing out the plastic if you race in anything other then clay.

Well, nobody can say Losi didn't do some outside the box thinking on this one

An undermount front clip on an aluminum chassis, sliding steering rack.....pretty innovative. I think the Losi fans will be pretty stoked about this release...should give them plenty of new things to tinker with for sure I'm not a big fan of 2wd buggy, but this car even interests me...maybe I'll have to give 2wd a whirl next year

WOW, look at the difference in shock size.

I wonder if your going need two different bodies when converting it one way or the other.

In this pic you can see the gap of no body when in mid mode but looks like they photshopped it a bit

Steering rack + dirt = issues. I see that as a potential problem.
Definitely people are going to be upset about the saddle pack config too.
The tuning options look awesome though.

I guess the Losi haters can't say Losi is not in the racing market anymore, because the 22 is a RACE kit for sure.
