Losi 1/12 Grom IMSA Ford Mustang GT3 Racer
Alongside its Grom IMSA Chevy Corvette GT3, Losi has introduced one of its on-track rivals, the Grom IMSA Ford Mustang Dark Horse GT3. If you're a fan of on-road endurance racing, this new IMSA series race car should be an instant buy.
This wonderfully detailed race car faithfully captures the aggressive design of the 1:1 #64 Mustang GT3, with molded polycarbonate and injection-molded details like side mirrors, dive planes, and a large rear wing.
Losi's IMSA race car features a clipless body-mounting system like the one found on the Losi Asphalt Late Model and the Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson Monte Carlos. This keeps the exterior clean and ultra-realistic, and it makes accessing the chassis as simple as pressing a button.
Under the body, you'll find a chassis layout that's very similar to what's used on the Losi NASCAR RC Cars, with a few small adjustments. The front splitter and rear diffuser have been redesigned to mimic the parts found on the IMSA Corvette GT3, and the battery connector now plugs into a port on the chassis, helping keep things clean and orderly.
Another small change is found in the battery mounting system. Instead of a Velcro/hook-and-loop strap, the battery is secured with a friction-fit tab system.
Powered by a brushed 380-size, 28T motor, this all-wheel-drive R/C car reaches speeds over 20 miles per hour right out of the box. Based on my experience with the Losi NASCAR models, this is a quick car that should look great both at speed and at a stop.
