Technical Performance
The TLR Ultra Lightweight Body & Wing represents the pinnacle of weight-reduction engineering for 1/10 scale RC buggies in the UK and worldwide. Constructed from specially formulated polycarbonate materials, this body and wing combination delivers exceptional durability whilst maintaining minimal mass throughout the design. The clear finish provides complete visibility into the chassis, suspension, and drivetrain components, allowing drivers to monitor mechanical condition and make real-time adjustments without removing the body. The aerodynamic wing profile has been engineered to optimise high-speed stability and cornering performance, particularly beneficial when running brushless motors on 3S or higher-capacity LiPo batteries. The body fitment is precisely engineered for the 22 5.0 buggy platform, ensuring that mounting points align perfectly with chassis features and that the aerodynamic profile works harmoniously with the vehicle's suspension geometry. For competitive racers and serious bashers operating RC buggies in the UK's vibrant RC racing scene, the weight savings achieved through ultra lightweight construction can translate into measurable improvements in lap times, acceleration response, and cornering grip, particularly on tight technical tracks where every tenth of a second counts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the TLR Ultra Lightweight Body & Wing suitable for beginners? — This product is specifically engineered for competitive racing and serious performance-focused driving rather than beginner-level operation. Whilst physically compatible with the 22 5.0 buggy, the benefits of ultra lightweight construction are most appreciated by experienced drivers running high-performance motor and ESC combinations. Beginners may find the standard Lightweight Body & Wing (model TLR230012) a more appropriate choice for initial RC buggy operation.
- What is the difference between the Ultra Lightweight and standard Lightweight Body & Wing? — Team Losi Racing produces two variants for the 22 5.0: the standard Lightweight Body & Wing (TLR230012) and this Ultra Lightweight version (TLR230013). The Ultra Lightweight designation indicates enhanced weight reduction through material selection and design optimisation, making it the choice for competitive racers and those seeking maximum performance gains from weight savings. The standard Lightweight variant is also available for those seeking a balance between weight reduction and cost.
- Will this body fit my 22 5.0 buggy without modification? — Yes, this clear body and wing combination is purpose-built for the Team Losi Racing 22 5.0 platform and requires no modification for installation. As a genuine factory component manufactured by Team Losi Racing, fitment is guaranteed to be perfect with standard chassis features and mounting points.
- Does this body come with mounting hardware? — The product listing indicates this is the body and wing combination; however, RC buggy bodies typically require body posts, clips, and foam pads for mounting, which are usually sold separately. These are standard components readily available from RC retailers across the UK and are typically required for any body installation on 1/10 scale RC buggies.
- How does the clear finish compare to painted bodies? — The clear polycarbonate finish provides complete visibility into internal mechanics whilst maintaining the aggressive aerodynamic styling of the design. Clear bodies showcase your model's components beautifully and allow visual inspection of mechanical condition during racing and maintenance. However, they do not provide the colour contrast and visual impact of painted designs, and some racers prefer painted bodies for aesthetic reasons or to improve visibility from a distance during racing events.
