Losi Mini Rock Crawler

The 1/18 Mini Rock Crawler is a new and unique edition for the 1/18 scale sector of the hobby industry. This RTR with everything included will be a new vehicle category creator similar to what the Mini-T did for the hobby by allowing 1/10 scale enthusiasts to come indoors and compete in smaller spaces. Losi has recognized the growing popularity of the R/C rock crawling hobby and is proud to bring to the rocks the 1/18 Mini Rock Crawler. Not only is the Losi Mini Crawler the very first 1/18 scale RTR crawler in the world, but it also has the first complete RTR with everything included - just open the box and hit the rocks.

Designed from the standards of the full scale rock crawling world as well as the custom build RC platforms that have had great success, the Mini Rock Crawler is the perfect way to allow hobbyists to get involved with the excitement of R/C rock crawling with a competition ready rig.
