Losi 1:6 Audi R8 LMS Ultra RTR

Losi 1:6 Audi R8 LMS Ultra RTR

Losi is going big with this killer looking 1:6 Audi R8 LMS Ultra replica. Based around the new 6IX platform, this AWD supercar is loaded with go-fast goodies to push it over the 60mph mark!

Starting with the chassis, Losi has developed the Audi around a 3mm aluminum chassis. Huge 18mm Big Bore shocks are connected to thick, plastic suspension arms; independent on all 4 corners.

Feeding the R8 is a healthy dose of brushless power. A Dynamite 1200kV brushless motor pulls the juice through a Dynamite 160A Brushless ESC. This ESC is waterproof and capable of handling a whopping 6S of LiPo power. You no longer have to remove the body to change the batteries; the 2 3S packs are installed through hinged doors at the bottom of the chassis. A Spektrum DX2E radio system keeps the R8 on the track and, of course, AVC is included.

The detail on the body is stunning and includes separate molded grill, mirrors, canards, front splitter, rear wing and rear diffuser!
