Key Features
- Stiffezel Material Construction — This mud guard set is manufactured from Stiffezel material, a premium polymer specifically chosen to optimise chassis flex characteristics. The choice of material is not arbitrary; Stiffezel provides the optimal balance between rigidity and flexibility, allowing the chassis to absorb impacts and maintain traction whilst protecting critical drivetrain components from mud, dirt and moisture. For UK RC drivers operating in variable weather conditions, this material choice ensures consistent performance regardless of track conditions.
- Integrated Fan Mount — The built-in fan mount allows you to attach compatible cooling fans directly to the mud guard assembly. This integrated approach saves weight, reduces complexity and provides a cleaner installation compared to aftermarket fan mounting solutions. The fan mount enables better thermal management during intense racing sessions, helping maintain consistent performance throughout extended run times.
- Laydown Configuration Compatibility — The fan mount is specifically designed to work with laydown motor configurations on the 22T 4.0 platform. This means the mount is precision-engineered to align perfectly with the horizontal motor orientation, ensuring proper airflow to the motor and ESC whilst maintaining the aerodynamic advantages of the laydown setup. This compatibility ensures you get maximum cooling efficiency without compromising vehicle balance or handling characteristics.
- Fan Size Flexibility — This mud guard set accommodates most standard 25x25mm and 30x30mm cooling fans, giving you excellent flexibility when selecting your cooling solution. The mount design has been engineered to securely hold these popular fan sizes, preventing vibration and movement during high-speed racing. This flexibility means you can choose from multiple fan options available in the RC market to suit your specific cooling requirements.
- Purpose-Built for 22T 4.0 Platform — This component is specifically designed and engineered for the Team Losi Racing 22T 4.0 buggy, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal performance. Team Losi Racing's attention to detail means every aspect of this mud guard set has been tested and validated to work seamlessly with the 22T 4.0's chassis geometry and suspension layout.
Technical Performance
The TLR Mud Guard Set represents precision engineering at its finest, utilising Stiffezel material to create a component that performs multiple critical functions simultaneously. Stiffezel is a premium engineering polymer that has been carefully selected because of its unique properties; it offers sufficient flexibility to allow the chassis to maintain optimal flex characteristics whilst providing adequate rigidity to protect the vehicle's internal components from environmental hazards. This material balance is crucial because too much rigidity would transfer all impacts directly to the chassis, degrading handling characteristics, whilst too much flexibility would compromise structural integrity and protection. The engineering team at Team Losi Racing has spent considerable development time perfecting this material choice, and it represents their commitment to creating products that enhance rather than compromise vehicle performance. The integrated fan mount feature is engineered to work specifically with laydown motor configurations, where the motor is oriented horizontally in the chassis. This orientation is popular in modern RC buggy design because it lowers the centre of gravity, improves weight distribution and provides aerodynamic advantages. The fan mount has been positioned and designed to ensure that any attached cooling fan will direct airflow effectively across the motor and electronic speed controller, maintaining optimal operating temperatures during intense racing sessions. The modular design approach also means that if you decide to run without a fan mount, you can use the mud guard set independently, giving you complete flexibility in your vehicle configuration.

Team Losi Racing ensures perfect fitment between all their components and the 22T 4.0 chassis, so you can install this set with confidence knowing it will align perfectly with your vehicle's geometry.
- Can I use this mud guard set without the fan mount? — Absolutely. The fan mount is an integrated feature, but if you choose not to install a cooling fan, the mud guard set will function perfectly on its own. The design allows complete flexibility in how you configure your vehicle.
- What cooling fans are compatible with the integrated fan mount? — The fan mount is designed to accommodate most standard 25x25mm and 30x30mm cooling fans. However, not all fans on the market will fit, so it's important to verify fan compatibility before purchasing. Speak with our expert team at RC Model Shop if you need specific fan recommendations for your setup.
- Does the fan mount work with all motor orientations? — No, the fan mount is specifically designed for laydown motor configurations, where the motor is positioned horizontally in the chassis. If you run a different motor orientation, the fan mount may not be suitable. This design choice reflects the fact that laydown configurations have become the standard in modern competitive RC buggy racing.
- What is Stiffezel material and why is it used for mud guards? — Stiffezel is a premium engineering polymer chosen specifically because it optimises chassis flex characteristics. It provides the perfect balance between protection and performance, offering enough rigidity to shield your chassis from mud and debris whilst maintaining the flexibility necessary for optimal handling. This material choice reflects Team Losi Racing's engineering philosophy of creating components that enhance overall vehicle performance rather than simply adding weight or restricting movement.
