SHOP BY COMPLETION
Losi® ready-to-run (RTR) vehicles come assembled and finished, with nearly everything you need included. Roller (rolling chassis) models are basically ready-to-run chassis that require electronics and a few other items.
RC Cars & Trucks By Completion Level
Radio Controlled vehicles usually come in either a RTR (Ready-to-Run), Roller or Kit. Majority of our vehicle selection are RTR. Ready to Run indicates that the vehicle is fully assembled including the electronics. Although assembly is not required most RTR vehicles do require a battery and charger to be purchased separately; however, there are some exceptions. In order to be sure the items required to complete your RC vehicle be sure to check the “Needed to Complete” section of every product page.
A Roller vehicle means that the vehicle is fully assembled but does not include any electronics. Most often it will also not include a body, wheels, or tires. The benefit of a roller is that you can save money by repurposing electronics you may already have or put the saving toward new race-level electronics with more tunability and features than what would come in a RTR. Completing a roller can takes an average 3 hours depending on your skill level.
Lastly, some RC vehicles come in kit form. A kit requires to be fully assembled. All parts are packaged in groups that correspond to the manual that is included in the box. Although most kits come with basic tools including L-wrenches, we do recommend purchasing proper hex drivers to make your building experience more pleasant. Building a vehicle from the ground up is not only the most rewarding but its also the best way to get to know your RC vehicle in case you ever need to diagnose any issues or make improvements.
