We are working diligently on getting the car to market and it will be out in the 1st quarter of 2011.

Two days before my Birth day although it will make a nice birthday present I would prefer 01/01/11

I had the chance to hold the new car in my hand before I had to lock it into one of our display cabinets at Trackside. Car looks awesome, fit and finish look real nice, and the shocks are sexy as hell!!

Yes, Dustin Evans, and Matt Chambers are racing the "22" at the 2010 Spektrum off-road champs at Trackside, and if your not there, you can follow all the action on LiveRC.com all weekend long.

The last time I was this excited Marcus was pulling my JRX2 out of Layway at the Ranch! Collected cans all summer to buy that car.

im not completely sold on the steering rack set up yet. just seems like it would wear fast once you get it out on the dirt a few times. im sure there is a good reason behind it but just seems like it would be a high wear item. other then that i think losi did a great job, but im not ready to give up my O.G. rb5 yet

I'm not a fan of running without a servo saver, I'm guessing that all the testers were pro-level drivers. Would the Losi fellows be so kind as to recommend a solution? I'm thinking the servo mounted unit found on the XXX4 maybe?

Another thought, what would a 22-T based body look like considering all the "liberties of scale" that have been taken this year on truggies?

2WD truck is strong in parts of the country actually. Just waiting for the 22T, but might try a 2WD buggy for the first time this year. Ya I like the design of this one alot. The shocks look AWESOME!

This old fart is gonna be running a brand spankin new TLR 22.

Did you know that the 22 actually refers to my 22nd year as a Losi guy?

1988 got kicked down an early release JRX2 by Pops himself.
