Overview
The Losi Aluminium Drag Link for Micro-B/T (Z-LOS-1985) is a premium upgrade component designed for RC enthusiasts looking to enhance their compact RC buggy or stadium truck. This high-quality aluminium steering component is engineered to provide improved durability and performance for your 1/24 or 1/28 scale RC car. Whether you're a dedicated racer, weekend basher, or someone exploring the world of RC cars in the UK, this aluminium drag link represents a significant step up in chassis tuning and reliability. Built with race-inspired engineering principles drawn from Losi's acclaimed 22 series vehicles, this component delivers the kind of precision and strength you'd expect from a manufacturer trusted by RC enthusiasts across the UK and beyond.
This drag link is specifically engineered as a chassis tune-up option, meaning it's an ideal upgrade for owners of compatible Losi Micro-B and Micro-T models who want to improve steering response and durability during intense driving sessions. The component's aluminium construction makes it significantly stronger than standard plastic alternatives, providing better resistance to impact damage whilst maintaining precise steering geometry. If you're running a ready to run RC buggy or stadium truck and want to take your performance to the next level, this is exactly the kind of upgrade that separates casual drivers from serious RC enthusiasts.
The combination of high-strength materials, professional styling with black anodisation and silver edging, and compatibility with multiple Micro-scale platforms makes this an essential upgrade for anyone committed to maximising their RC car's potential. Available at RC Model Shop, this is a genuine Losi component that represents outstanding value for money in the competitive RC spare parts market.
Key Features
- High-Strength 6061 Aluminium Construction — This drag link is manufactured from aerospace-grade 6061 aluminium alloy, which offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that far exceeds standard plastic steering components, delivering superior durability and reliability during both casual and competitive driving.
- Professional Black Anodised Finish with Silver Edging — The black anodised coating with silver edge detailing provides both aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance, ensuring your RC car maintains its professional appearance whilst the protective anodisation guards against oxidation and wear.
- Race-Inspired Design Based on 22 Series Vehicles — Engineered using design principles derived from Losi's proven 22 series competition vehicles, this drag link brings proven race engineering down to the Micro-B/T scale, giving you steering geometry optimised by professional RC racing experience.
- Direct Compatibility with Micro-B and Micro-T Models — This component is specifically engineered to fit seamlessly with both the 1/24 Micro-B 2WD Buggy and the 1/28 Micro-T 2WD Stadium Truck across multiple colour variants, ensuring perfect fit and function without modification.
- Improved Steering Response and Consistency — The rigid aluminium construction eliminates the flex and flex-induced inconsistency found in plastic drag links, translating to more predictable and responsive steering inputs, especially important when racing or executing precise manoeuvres.
Technical Performance
The Z-LOS-1985 represents a significant engineering upgrade in the micro-scale RC category. Constructed from 6061 anodised aluminium, this component provides substantially improved rigidity compared to standard plastic steering linkages commonly found on entry-level ready to run RC buggies and stadium trucks. The material selection reflects professional engineering practice, where aluminium is preferred for its combination of strength, low weight, and corrosion resistance. The black anodised finish with silver edging is not purely aesthetic—anodisation creates a protective oxide layer that guards against corrosion and extends component lifespan, particularly important for UK RC users who may drive in damp conditions. The race-inspired engineering pedigree means the steering geometry has been validated through competition use, ensuring that when you install this drag link on your 1/24 Micro-B or 1/28 Micro-T, you're benefiting from proven design rather than simple cosmetic upgrades. For users of compatible models including the C-LOS00007T2 Micro-B RTR (Silver), C-LOS00007T1 Micro-B RTR (White), C-LOS-1392T2 Micro-T RTR Stadium Truck (Silver), and C-LOS-1392T1 Micro-T RTR Stadium Truck (White), this component delivers measurable improvements in steering precision and longevity. The engineering approach demonstrates Losi's commitment to providing serious upgrade paths even in the compact micro-scale segment, where many competitors offer only basic plastic alternatives.

- Why upgrade from plastic to aluminium steering components? — Aluminium drag links offer several advantages over plastic alternatives: they resist flex under load, providing more consistent and responsive steering; they're significantly more durable and resistant to impact damage; they provide better corrosion resistance through anodisation; and they're lighter than many plastic alternatives whilst being stronger. For anyone serious about RC performance, aluminium upgrades are industry-standard practice.
- Does this drag link require any modifications to install? — No, this component is engineered as a direct fit replacement for compatible models. It's designed to work seamlessly with your existing Micro-B or Micro-T chassis without requiring modifications. However, installation should follow Losi's official guidelines to ensure proper steering geometry alignment.
- Will this upgrade improve my lap times? — The improved steering consistency and reduced flex provided by the aluminium construction can contribute to more responsive handling and better control during racing or high-speed driving. Many RC competitors at UK tracks consider aluminium steering components essential upgrades for competitive driving, particularly on technical courses where precision matters.
