22S Dirt Late Model In-Depth | The Engineering Behind Losi’s New Dirt Oval Racer

Shawn sits down with Ryan, lead developer of the Losi 22S Dirt Late Model, for an in-depth look at how this purpose-built dirt oval racer was designed, developed, and prepared for the track. For years, getting into the Dirt Late Model class often meant building from a buggy platform, adding a conversion kit, and sourcing the remaining components yourself. The 22S Dirt Late Model offers another path: a complete 1/10 scale, brushless, ready-to-run race car built on the proven foundation of the Losi 22S Sprint. Ryan breaks down the lower center of gravity, competition-proven TLR 22 suspension geometry, and closed-wheel body design that give the car the planted feel and door-to-door racing characteristics Dirt Late Model drivers expect. He also explains how the body’s asymmetrical shape, skew, and twist were developed to capture the appearance and aerodynamic performance of a full-size late model. The details go far beyond the body. The 22S Dirt Late Model features a molded roll cage, hand-painted driver figure, detailed cockpit, scale Wide 5 wheels, and officially licensed Hoosier tires. A clipless mounting system provides quick access to the aluminum chassis, adjustable suspension, all-metal transmission, sealed gear differential, and Spektrum brushless electronics. Many suspension and transmission components are shared with the 22S Sprint, making it easier for existing racers and hobby shops to support both platforms. Watch as Shawn and Ryan take a closer look at the engineering, scale details, electronics, and performance features that make the Losi 22S Dirt Late Model a race car first.
