Dirt Oval Main Events, Indy R/C World, 4-20-2012

Losi 1/16 Mini ReadyLift SCT RTR LOSB0208

A 2WD mini with an Xcelorin brushless power system, oil-filled shocks and an extended short course chassis. Too good to be true? Nope. The Mini SCT RTR has all that and more. It’s ready to run and ready to take on the competition. Not only does this 1/16 truck have a Losi radio system with Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM technology, but it’s got a Sean Geiser ReadyLift licensed body with sponsor decals and generous ground clearance. Losi teamed up with Sean Geiser to bring you this scale replica of the ReadyLift truck from the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series.





This 1/16 ReadyLift Mini SCT harnesses brushless power in a package that provides incredible control and handling. Featuring an Xcelorin 4500Kv motor, all metal gear transmission, rechargeable NiMH battery pack and charger, and a radio system with Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM this short course truck has the power to blow away the competition.

Features

Xcelorin 4500KV Brushless Motor
Designed to give you plenty of power, the Mini ReadyLift SCT requires little to no maintenance.

Xcelorin Brushless ESC
This LiPo compatible ESC features auto-cell detection and comes with a cutoff built in for 2S and 3S LiPos.

Spektrum SR300 Receiver with 2.4GHz DSM Technology
Genuine Spektrum DSM technology will ensure an interference-free experience whether you run with five other SCTS or 15.

Adjustable Oil-Filled, Coil-Over Shocks
To ensure desired suspension performance, these shocks are adjustable with included preload clips.

All-Metal Gear Transmission
The Mini SCT is ready to take on grueling off-road courses. Thanks to all-metal gear transmission, handling the included brushless power system is a breeze.

All-Terrain Short Course Tires
Whether helping you dominate the short course track or tear up the cul-de-sac, these scale-inspired tires provide wicked speed.

Chrome, Off-Road Beadlock-Style Wheels
With a look similar to their counterparts on the full-scale ReadyLift truck, the chrome wheels with simulated bead lock rings ensure power is transferred to the ground in style.

7.2V 1100mAh NiMH Battery Pack with EC2 Connectors
The Mini ReadyLift SCT includes a powerful, rechargeable NiMH battery pack and wall charger, making it easy to get started.

DSM Transmitter
DSM technology offers multiple benefits over traditional systems: No interference or glitchingyou never have to worry about finding an open frequency, changing crystals or losing control. Losi DSM transmitters only require 4 AA batteries, making them lighter in weight and less expensive to maintain. A shorter, fold-over transmitter antenna makes travel and storage much more convenient
