1/12 NASCAR Dale Earnhardt Jr. #8 Budweiser - Red

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: High-Octane Cup Car Racing in Your Own Driveway! Why wait for the weekend to watch Sunday's race when you can put yourself directly in the driver's seat? The team at Hobby Hideaway loves the Losi 1/12 scale NASCAR series because it bridges the gap between diecast collectability and authentic, hobby-grade RC performance. Available in officially licensed liveries from legendary drivers and modern Cup Series superstars—including Dale Earnhardt Jr., Chase Elliott, and Joey Logano—this Ready-to-Run (RTR) speed machine turns any smooth parking lot, driveway, or tennis court into your personal speedway.

True Hobby-Grade Cup Car Performance Do not confuse this with a toy-grade department store car—the Losi NASCAR is built on a serious, tunable RC platform designed to survive the "big wreck". Underneath the aerodynamic body sits a durable composite chassis featuring a full all-wheel drivetrain (AWD) with metal ring and pinion gears. It features independent suspension and adjustable oil-filled, coil-over shocks that allow you to tune your camber and ride height just like a real NASCAR crew chief. Powered by a 28-turn brushed motor equipped with a dedicated 25mm cooling fan, this car rockets to speeds of over 20+ MPH while delivering up to 20 minutes of continuous racing action per charge.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• Officially Licensed Realism: Features replica NASCAR Cup Series bodies (Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, Ford Mustang, or Toyota Camry) with functional front splitters and rear diffusers.

• All-Wheel Drivetrain (AWD): The high-traction AWD system features an enclosed drivetrain with robust metal gears, providing incredible grip and cornering stability on asphalt and concrete.

• 20+ MPH Powertrain: Equipped with a 28-turn brushed motor, a factory-installed motor cooling fan, and a Spektrum SLT 2-in-1 25A waterproof ESC/receiver.

• Tunable Suspension: Features fully independent suspension with oil-filled, coil-over shocks that can be customized and adjusted for different surface conditions.

• Spektrum SLT2 Radio System: The included 2.4GHz transmitter features a built-in throttle limiting switch (50%, 75%, 100%) for ultra-precise control.

• Complete RTR Package: Includes absolutely everything needed to race out of the box: the fully assembled car, a Spektrum Smart 2S LiPo battery, a safe USB charger, the radio transmitter, and AA batteries.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: If you are setting up a makeshift oval track in your driveway or a local parking lot using traffic cones, take advantage of the "Rookie Mode" switch on the back of the Spektrum SLT2 transmitter! When you first launch the car, dial the throttle limit back to 50% or 75%. This dials out excess wheelspin and allows you to practice hitting your apexes smoothly without pushing the nose wide in the turns. Once you get into a smooth, consistent rhythm and learn the braking zones, flip it up to 100% and unleash full Cup car horsepower!
