The Losi Slider class
is designed for the young or old entry-level racer who wants to
enter the hobby of RC racing at the lowest startup and maintenance
cost and minimal prep time available. This is an excellent class
for that family member that travels often to the track but doesn't
want to race in the more expensive and time-consuming classes. This
class is the fun, striped-down version of RC racing. Buy the Slider,
set it up, and run it. Anyone entering this class needs to keep
the spirit of the class in mind. Have some fun!
