Losi Mini Late Model Class Rules Update

This is an update to reflect the evolution of this class over the last year. The intent is still to keep costs for a competitive car under control. Our "house" Late Model class is essentially a stock class allowing only normal tuning and upgrades designed to limit breakage or maintenance costs. If 3 or more racers show up with cars with more modifications we are willing to run them together in their own class.

Stock Losi Mini Late Model - run "out of the box" with the following allowable changes:

- Changes to springs / shock oil / spring spacers / internal limiters. Losi Aluminum shocks are permitted.

- Adjustments to toe & camber. If a racer wants to upgrade to the Losi titanium link set / heavy duty ball cups to minimize breakage, we permit it but don't encourage it. The use of aftermarket steering bellcranks / links is permitted.

- Any Losi tire / wheel combination made for Mini Slider or Mini Late Model

- 6 cell NiMH batteries only. Maximum 1600 mAhr

- Stock motors. Brushes & springs may be replaced. Due to the need to replace the stock motor frequently we have decided to allow the use of the Mamba 4200 KV brushless motor with the Mamba 25 or Mamba Sidewinder Micro ESC. We've tested this combination against stock motors and found the speeds to be comparable. So an upgrade to the Mamba should not be necessary in order to run competitive times.

- Stock differential (shimming allowed) or Losi Ball diff (PN LOSB1125)

- Electronics: Any brushed ESC, servo or receiver may be used. Any compatible radio may be used.

- The pinion / spur gear may be replaced to alter the gear ratio.

- Losi and McAllister Late Model bodies and McAllister COT bodies intended for use on the Losi Late Model may be used.

- Fasteners may be replaced with alternates of same size
