Key Features
- Ultra-Lightweight Polycarbonate Construction — The body and wing are manufactured from lightweight polycarbonate material, which is engineered to reduce unsprung weight without sacrificing durability, resulting in faster acceleration, improved handling response, and better overall lap times on both carpet and dirt surfaces.
- Clear Finish — The transparent clear polycarbonate allows you to display the quality of your chassis engineering and paint jobs, whilst the finish is also practical for aerodynamic visibility and racing authenticity.
- Included Decal Stickers — Custom stickers are provided in the box, enabling you to personalise your machine with your own racing colours, number plates, and sponsor graphics without requiring any additional purchases.
- Aerodynamic Wing Design — The integrated wing system is designed by Team Losi Racing engineers to optimise downforce and stability at racing speeds, helping maintain traction through high-speed corners and over jumps on varied terrain.
- 1/10 Scale Racing Body — Specifically engineered for 1/10 scale 2WD buggy platforms, this body is designed to fit the Team Losi Racing 22 4.0 and provides a genuine OEM replacement or upgrade for serious competitors.
- Compatible with Multiple Race Kits — This body works perfectly as replacement or upgrade parts for the TLR03017 (AC race kit), TLR03016 (DC race kit), TLR03022 (DC ELITE race kit), TLR03018 (spec racing kit), and TLR03012 (DC race roller), ensuring compatibility across the entire 22 4.0 lineup.
Technical Performance
The Lightweight Body and Wing for the 22 4.0 represents Team Losi Racing's commitment to manufacturing the highest-quality replacement and upgrade parts for competitive 1/10 scale racing. The polycarbonate material used in this body system is engineered for the demands of track racing, offering superior impact resistance whilst maintaining minimal weight. This balance is crucial for racing performance, as reducing mass directly improves acceleration, deceleration, and directional change response. The clear polycarbonate finish is not merely aesthetic—it allows visibility into the chassis whilst providing UV protection and durability against the rigours of regular track sessions. The integrated wing design has been aerodynamically optimised by Team Losi Racing's engineering team to provide appropriate downforce levels without creating excessive drag, a critical consideration for 1/10 buggy racing where top speed and handling balance are both essential. The construction quality is consistent with all Team Losi Racing optional parts, meaning this body integrates seamlessly with the 22 4.0 platform's engineering and maintains the precision fit and finish that separates professional-grade RC equipment from consumer-level alternatives. Whether you're racing on smooth astro carpet surfaces or technical dirt clay circuits, this body system provides the performance-oriented construction that competitive drivers demand.
