1/10 Night Crawler RTR
The Bind-N-Drive 1/10-scale Night Crawler is a
transmitter-less version of the ready-to-run making it a convenient
money-saving choice for anyone who already owns a transmitter featuring
Spektrum DSM 2.4GHz Technology. The Night Crawler BND sports distinctive red
vertical chassis plates, wheel rings, and shock bodies as well as a
red-accented black body making it easy to distinguish on the course.
The Night Crawler is outfitted with brilliant LED lights and an outstanding
electronics package featuring a LiPo-compatible crawling ESC with voltage
cutoff. The included 540-sized crawler-specific 55T motor and high-torque metal
gear steering servo will get you up and over obstacles in no time.

Features
Front and Rear Solid Axle with Worm Gear Drive
The worm gear acts as a brake when no power is supplied.
When power is supplied, axle torque won't throw the vehicle off-balance while
climbing. A small gear assembly provides extra ground clearance under the axle
housing.
Crawler-Specific, LiPo Compatible ESC
There's no need to upgrade electronics so you can harness a
LiPo's power and performance. The included ESC, with crawler-specific
programming, accepts NiMH and LiPo batteriesand offers a voltage cutoff
feature to protect the battery and vehicle. The simple one-touch setup and
pre-wired EC3 battery connector will get you to the rocks in no time.
4" Aluminum Shocks with Adjustable Collars
The three-piece shock body design provides durable, smooth
operating shocks for maximum suspension articulation without binding. These
shocks are adjustable and rebuildable to ensure and maintain desired suspension
performance.
Front and Rear LED Light Set
The included, pre-wired light set is mounted to the chassis
and is adjustable. Each LED will light up all four corners so you can keep
crawling in to the night.
All-Metal CV Front Axle and Center Driveshafts
These provide superior durability to the driveline so you
can handle the stresses of rock crawling. While other crawlers use plastic
joints, this vehicle comes with metal CV joints and eliminates the need for
expensive upgrades.
Multi-Position Battery Tray
Lower than the competition, the crawler features a
low-center-of-gravity battery tray design that allows for multiple battery
typesfrom NiMH and LiPo stick packs to any of the 2.2-inch Losi LiPo crawler
battery packs. Secured with multiple hook and loop straps, battery packs can be
easily positioned to adjust for weight distribution.
Molded 4-Link Suspension
Designed with the RTR crawler in mind, the 4-link setup
minimizes rear axle swing and provides more precise handling. A 17-degree bend
provides smooth operation throughout the suspension cycling.
3-piece 2.2" Beadlock Wheels
True beadlock chrome wheels, with 12mm hexes, hold the tire
bead in place and let you change tires if neededall without glue. Better
still, you can enjoy the style and performance of a competition rig right from
the box.
2.2 Losi Rock Claw ™ Tires with Foam Inserts
Used by the pros, these national champions will help you
dominate the competition and conquer the rocks. The Rock Claw tires are
constructed with Losi's blue compound and have the characteristics, grip and
traction to scale even the toughest courses.
Direct-Drive Transmission
Lighter and more compact than any rock-crawler transmission
on the market, direct-drive transmission provides an ultra-low gear ratio for
rock crawling and metal outputs for durability.
Twin Vertical Plate Chassis
On this solid backbone, the electronics and motor are
mounted as low as possible to create a low center of gravity. Anodized blue for
a custom look, the aluminum plates protect the electronics in style.
Zero Ackerman Steering
Designed with the demanding conditions of rock crawling in
mind, the steering system provides precise control and class-leading
performance. With 45 degrees of steering throw, you will turn circles around
the competition.
Grappler™ Pro Body
The competition-legal body features realistic looks and
added functionality. The narrow front and rear provide extra wheel clearance
when the suspension is fully articulated and reduce interference on even the
roughest courses.
How Bind-N-Drive Works
Bind-N-Drive
1. Choose your DSM transmitter
The surface transmitters pictured below feature Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM Technology
and are compatible with the 1/10 Night Crawler BND.
You may already own one of these transmitters if you already own a Losi Ready-To-Run vehicle that includes a DSM transmitter.
Visit the Bind-N-Drive page for additional surface DSM transmitters that are compatible with Losi Bind-N-Drive vehicles.
2. Bind your DSM transmitter
Bind your DSM transmitter to the 1/10 Night Crawler BNDs
receiver and you are ready for action.
Please refer to your Losi vehicle's user manual for complete instructions on the binding process.
DON'T OWN A TRANSMITTER?
If you don't already own a surface DSM transmitter then you
should consider the 1/10 Night Crawler RTR (LOSB0104). The ready-to-run version
of the Night Crawler comes fully assembled and includes a receiver and
transmitter with Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM technology.
Losi also recommends purchasing a multi-model Spektrum radio
system such as the DX2S, DX3S or the DX3R. A multi-model Spektrum radio system
will allow you to add Bind-N-Drive models to your collection without the need
for an additional transmitter or repeating the binding process when switching
between DSM vehicles.
