Some of its noteworthy features are
Let’s Get Into Team Losi XXX NT SportThe Sport possesses a solid aluminum chassis designed in the lines of now famous Triple XXX NT. Its about 0.125 inch thick and boasts of sand blasted surface finish. It features countersunk screw holes at the bottom of the chassis which prevent unnecessary brushing of the head of the screws. You will find slotted and clearly demarked engine mounting holes. There is an upper deck running from the bulkhead at the front to the fuel tank which encloses the fuel tank and the steering servo. The engine more or less resides in between the upper deck and transmission housing while the receiver rests on a protected platform on the right hand side of the chassis. You will find a separate mount that houses the servo responsible for the brakes and throttle controls. The battery box in Team Losi XXX NT Sport is a moulded plastic that finds place towards the rear part. It is one of the most significant parts of the nitro truck as it houses the powerhouse of the vehicle. A good battery box must be protective against most of the natural elements for a long lasting battery which in turn will increase the run time of your rc stadium truck. The transmission system differential in this stadium truck may not sound very high profile but then it goes about its work with utmost efficiency. The motivation for this kind of differential came from the need of easier assembly. This also makes going through the maintenance process easier. Unlike the triple XNT kits Sport comes with shielded ball bearings that perform at the same level as the Teflon coated ones, but at a much lower price. Now let’s get on to the brakes. Disc brakes in stadium trucks have always been an area of attraction because of the kind of abuse they are subjected to. In this stadium truck the brake shares the shaft with the idler gear. The unique shape of brake hub ensures proper distribution of load onto the brake rotor which in turn increases the life of the rotor. Damping mechanism is sturdy in XXX NT Sport as is needed in any off road stadium truck exposed to those bumpy tracks. Orange springs that have been proven for bumpy track racings do a good job of providing damping to the vehicle. Design of the steering system is such that it eliminates bump steer and at the same time does a good job by improving steer geometry.
So How Does Team Losi XXX NT Sport PerformThe fact that Sport is a follow up to the champion Team Losi XXX NT truck is good enough an indicator of the performance capability of this stadium truck. It handles tough situations and tracks extremely well and is easy for a beginner to get wheeling in a very short time. The fact that it comes pre assembled means very less turn around time for you to get it rolling. However the power and performance of this stadium truck will impress any serious seasoned enthusiast for sure. The vehicle delivered to you will be custom painted in the factory. Professional level of body painting means that all those small details like windows and lights are taken care of. It’s available in three different colors viz aqua, grape and graphite. In the RTR Team Losi XXX NT Sport tires are pre attached to the wheel. That reduces one more task for you. Semi soft material of the tire improves their longevity and improves grip on the road. Overall this stadium truck is a good buy given all its performance oriented features and sharp looks.
