One question that has been asked more than any other in the world of 1/10-scale off-road racing has been, "When will they come out with another Team Losi Racing™ 4-wheel drive 1/10-scale buggy?" After many years of focusing on 1/8-scale buggies, 1/10-scale 2WD buggies and short course trucks, the designers have turned their attention back to this core market and have returned to the 4WD "wheeler" class. They're gearing up to hit the track with the 22-4™ 4WD 1/10-scale buggy kit.
Taking inspiration from a number of past and current TLR® vehicles, the 22-4 kit represents a refinement of what has been one of the most popular Team Losi Racing cars ever, the XX-4. And we've found the lineage between the XX-4 and the 22-4 is hard to miss. Some of the things that are instantly recognizable is the triple belt setup, forward-positioned center-mounted motor, saddle pack battery and more. From the 22-series you will recognize things such as super-beefy molded components, titanium carbonitride components, an HDS slipper clutch and big-bore top-filled shocks. In the end, the 22-4 has been designed from the ground-up to take everything drivers loved about the XX-4 and improve the drivability and durability, and update it for the latest-generation batteries, motors and race tracks.
Todd Hodge has helped lead Team Losi Racing into the future with innovative designs such as the 22™ 2WD buggy, 22 2.0 and 8IGHT™ buggy platforms. He has raced both the original XX-4 and is now helping guide the return to 4WD buggies with the 22-4 kit. We visited with Todd to learn more about this chassis, what it has to offer and why he believes it the 4WD car to lead the pack. Sit back and enjoy our exclusive, in-depth look at the Team Losi Racing 22-4 4WD buggy.
