Losi 1/10 TEN-T Truggy RTR
Expected Release – December 2009
Losi’s 1/10 scale TEN-T Truggy RTR packs all the performance and innovation of their earth shattering 1/8 scale nitro platform into a 1/10 scale truggy. Built to take on any track or terrain, this vicious machine includes a ton of features in a compact, agile design including a chassis with the engineering characteristics of the 8IGHT-T. For intense acceleration and top speed, power from the Losi 3.4 performance small block engine is routed through a 2 shoe clutch and a bulletproof 4 wheel drive system.
The TEN-T is equipped with a Losi first, the newly introduced Remote Onboard Starting System or ROSS. With the push of a button on the Spektrum DX3S transmitter, drivers instantaneously heat the glow plug and engage the electric onboard starter. Getting to the action has never been so easier.
The included Spektrum DX3S radio system does much more than just starting the engine. With genuine Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM technology, the Losi TEN T offers precise, connected control not found on other vehicles. Boasting integrated telemetry, the DX3S displays up to the second information including speed, temperature and receiver battery voltage right on the Tx screen.

E-flite Ultra-Micro 4-Site
Full Throttle 3D Fun in an Ultra Micro Package
Expected Release – Mid November 2009
Here is the plane experienced pilots have been waiting! E-flite’s first fixed wing model into the ultra micro world. The E-flite Ultra Micro 4 Site sports full 3D aerobatic capabilities and robust construction making it perfect for flight in most large indoor venues or outdoor calm to no wind conditions. This plane brings a level of control and responsiveness 3D experts are going to love. Included with the BNF version are two 1S 150mAh LiPo battery packs model EFLB1501S, E-flite’s Celectra 4 Port LiPo charger model EFLC1004, and AC adapter model EFLC1005.
The PNP version of the Ultra Micro 4 Site is pretty much a replacement airframe with all the electronics. Installed features include a receiver that is integrated into the board so that all a pilot needs to do is provide their own transmitter, batteries and charger.
Spektrum Receiver – ESC – Servo Unit and 2 Independent Aileron Servos
The Spektrum AR6400L Ultra Micro DSM2 Receiver/ESC/Servo unit features two built in linear long throw servos for the elevator and rudder which provides great control when combined with the two independent AS2000L long throw aileron servos.
Carbon Fiber Bracing and Pushrods
The added stiffness of the carbon fiber bracing creates much of the airplane’s precision. It reduces flex without adding a lot of weight. The carbon fiber pushrods ensure movement of the servos is felt in the control response.
Motor and Prop
A powerful 8.5mm coreless brushed motor paired with a 130mm x 70mm propeller provide the Ultra Micro 4 Site more than enough thrust for unlimited vertical performance and all manners of high altitude 3D maneuvers.
