Team Losi’s new XXX-T Matt Francis 2 raises the bar for two-wheel drive off-road truck racing. Starting with the most dominant electric truck of the 21st century, the Team Losi development team used existing as well as revised and new designed components for a new chassis that allows you to stay one step ahead of the competition. The key elements of this new design are a new transmission and suspension package that compliment each other for greatly enhance performance and unequalled tuning options. In general, the mass of the transmission and motor has been lowered and moved forward closer the center of gravity for greater forward traction. The increased traction generated has allowed the development of a more aggressive suspension package that offers unmatched tuning opportunities. The new XXX “Gen II” transmission features a smaller differential with new out drives, Kevlar® spur gear, machined motor plate, polycarbonate gear cover, revised molded motor guard, and retains the race proven double-disk slipper. Although the diff uses some existing parts, the out drives have been revised for improved friction dynamics for added traction and performance. The innovative suspension package features Variable Length Arms, a totally new concept in off-road racing. These new arms feature additional pivot pin, shock, and sway bar locations. In conjunction with the new front carriers and rear hubs, it is easy to alter the handling characteristics of the car to meet the demands of the wide variety of track conditions seen around the world. This also allows the racer to tune the driving feel of the car to better suit his style. To make all this fit into the existing XXX-T platform there is a new molded forward pivot mount and rear pivot plate as well as a machined aluminum rear pivot mount. Beside the stunning technical advancements and the host of titanium, aluminum, and graphite parts there is also a host of new performance parts like Titanium Nitride hinge pins, o-ringed aluminum shock adjusters, aluminum suspension balls, and totally new rebuildable universal drive shafts and “King-Pin’ rear tires. Looks haven’t been forgotten either as there is also a new futuristic looking MF2 body with most of the aluminum parts are finished in Team Losi’s trademark hard anodizing. This remarkable kit allows you to build and tune an off-road truck that accelerates quicker, brakes straighter, goes through bumps faster, and carves turns with greater speed and stability.  XXX-T GRAPHITE FRANCIS EDITION Overview Losi's new Matt Francis Edition XXX-T comes loaded with a full complement of goodies that the racing champ himself has effectively used against his competition for almost a year now. No need to spend any extra money in upgrade options, this kit has it all. Going graphite The most noticeable departure from the stock XXX-T is the extensive use of strong, lightweight graphite/composite material throughout the chassis. Other components (besides the chassis itself) that now benefit from this material include the shock towers, front bulkhead, kick plate, rear pivot plate, suspension arms, battery strap, and a steering brace. This not only has made the chassis lighter but considerably more rigid. The added stiffness gives this special edition XXX-T a more precise feel because there is less chassis flex. Superior suspension and drive train The Matt Francis XXX-T boasts one of the toughest and most dependable suspensions available. Titanium turnbuckles that are stronger and lighter than stock ensure precise steering, no matter how tough the terrain. The titanium nitride-coated shock shafts minimize O-ring drag and resist wear from dirt and debris. Threaded shock bodies and revised springs provide a limitless number of tuning possibilities. Simply turning the shock adjuster nut on the threaded body allows you to precisely adjust the preload and ride height. The drive train is practically bulletproof, thanks to the adjustable slipper, the machined aluminum hard-coated top shaft and gear, as well as the MIP CVDs. Seeing red Losi has molded the bumper, motor guard, front body mounts, rod ends, and wheels in bright red to further set the Matt Francis XXX-T apart from the pack. Even the motor plate and front axles are anodized red. Red compound eight-rib front tires are complemented by red compound T-2000 tires in the rear. A fantastic looking “Fury” truck body, along with special edition decals further under-score the exceptional performance this truck offers. If Matt Francis’s success with his XXX-T is any indication, this special edition bearing his name should give experienced racers everywhere the edge they need to win. In fact, the truck comes with tuning tips from the man himself, so racers can get the most from all this “preemo” equipment.
