Losi SCT, the 22 name returns but this time with a greater
focus on fun.

Dan Wooster is no stranger to the pages of Racer. As a
prominent figure on the vintage scene, a contributor to the
Iconic RC column and vastly experienced in both on- and
off-road, who better to review Tamiya’s new TB-05 Pro
model.
