The Losi 1/12 NASCAR Chase Elliott No. 9 NAPA Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 delivers a hobby-grade RC touring car replicating the iconic No. 9 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 driven by Chase Elliott. Featuring an officially licensed body with NAPA livery, Goodyear Eagle tires, and a composite chassis, this all-wheel-drive vehicle offers realistic NASCAR performance. Fully assembled with a Spektrum Smart 2S LiPo battery and charger included, it provides accessible racing for scale RC car enthusiasts on various paved surfaces.
Performance
Powered by a 28-turn MEGA 380 brushed motor and a 25A Spektrum SLT 2-in-1 ESC, this RC car reaches speeds exceeding 20 mph. The AWD drivetrain, with metal ring and pinion gears, ensures superior traction on concrete or asphalt, supporting precise cornering. Oil-filled, coil-over shocks and independent suspension enhance stability, though high-speed turns may challenge beginners without throttle adjustment. A 25mm cooling fan maintains motor efficiency during extended runs, delivering approximately 20 minutes of runtime per charge.
Design and Features
The pre-painted body captures the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1’s NASCAR aesthetics, complete with licensed Goodyear Eagle slicks on BBS rims for authentic traction. Functional front splitters, rear diffusers, and nerf bars protect critical components during collisions, though the polycarbonate body may scratch under heavy impacts. The composite chassis and metal-geared powertrain ensure durability, while adjustable camber and shocks allow tuning for varied surfaces. Optional clear bodies support custom liveries, enhancing personalization.
Ease of Use and Maintenance
The Spektrum SLT2 2.4GHz radio with a throttle-limiting switch offers interference-free control, suitable for beginners and advanced drivers. The included 1400mAh 2S LiPo battery charges in under an hour via a USB-C charger, requiring only a QC 2.0/3.0 18W+ adapter. Maintenance is simplified with high-quality hex hardware and accessible parts, though small components demand careful handling. The waterproof ESC and servo support light weather use, but prolonged exposure may affect non-sealed parts.
Special Notes: This is a Ready to Run model, fully assembled with a pre-painted NAPA livery body, Spektrum Smart 2S LiPo battery, USB-C charger, and AA transmitter batteries included. Requires a USB or USB-C power adapter (QC 2.0/3.0 18W+, not included). Suitable for beginners with its throttle-limiting feature, while advanced users can upgrade shocks or tires for enhanced performance.
