Losi 1/12 Asphalt Late Model RC Race Car Dale Earnhardt Jr. No. 8 Overview

Every racing champion started somewhere. For legends like Dale Earnhardt Jr., that somewhere was asphalt late model racing. It's the proving grounds where hungry drivers battle on tight tracks and only skill behind the wheel determines who wins. Now you can experience that same intensity with the Losi Asphalt Late Model GROM.

Asphalt late model racing sits at the heart of American motorsports. The CARS Tour Late Model Stock program is the premier late model stock car touring series. Late model stock racing is where drivers earn their stripes, where racing organizations scout for the next generation of stars, and where fans witness some of the most competitive wheel-to-wheel action in the sport. The cars are closer in specs, the tracks are smaller, and the competition is fierce. It's grassroots racing that's been missing from the RC world. Until now.

The Losi Asphalt Late Model GROM is a hobby-quality RC race car engineered for racers who want authentic performance. With its clipless body mounting system, officially licensed GM body design, Wide 5 racing wheels, and Hoosier asphalt short track tires, this is a machine built to deliver the short track experience you crave. The elongated hood provides increased downforce for a planted feel through the corners just like the real thing.

Straight out of the box, the Asphalt Late Model GROM is fully assembled and race-ready. No additional items needed. Top-quality Spektrum components come standard, including AA batteries for the transmitter. The included Smart LiPo battery charges in under an hour via the convenient USB charger giving you plenty of time to create your course on a driveway, parking lot, tennis court, or basketball court. Set up a tight oval with cones and experience the intensity of short track racing.

With its composite chassis, metal-geared powertrain, independent suspension, and oil-filled coil-over shocks, the Asphalt Late Model GROM delivers versatile AWD on-road performance even experienced RC enthusiasts will respect. This car was designed with one goal: real racing performance.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. knows what it takes to win on the short tracks. His JR Motorsports late model program continues that legacy, bringing back iconic trim schemes like SunDrop from his early '90s days and maintaining his Budweiser look. Now you can race with those same iconic schemes.

The Asphalt Late Model GROM makes it easy for racing enthusiasts and families to share the thrill of competitive RC action. Get the Losi Asphalt Late Model GROM and prove yourself on your own short track!

OFFICIALLY LICENSED CHEVY BODY

This brand-new body design is fully licensed by Chevy and engineered for performance. The elongated hood area provides noticeably more low speed downforce than a Next Gen body, making the car feel more planted through the corners. It's authentic late model styling with race-proven aerodynamics.

OFFICIALLY LICENSED JRM RACE LIVERIES

Celebrate Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s legendary racing career with authentic JR Motorsports trim schemes. Choose the iconic SunDrop scheme from his early '90s days, or the legendary Budweiser look that defined his career. These officially licensed designs bring the perfect blend of legacy and modern racing to your collection.

WIDE 5 RACING WHEELS

This brand-new wheel design replicates the authentic Wide 5 bolt pattern found on real asphalt late models. Each wheel even features a small groove where you can use a simple ballpoint pen to add the iconic red stripe detail just like the real race teams do.

HOOSIER ASPHALT SHORT TRACK TIRES

Officially licensed, these Hoosier racing tires feature tampo-printed logos on the sidewalls just like the short track race cars across the country. The carefully selected rubber compound delivers the perfect balance of traction on most surfaces while providing appropriate wear life for plenty of laps.

RACE-READY SPEKTRUM 2-IN-1 SYSTEM

The same trusted performance found in the rest of the Losi GROM lineup, now updated with a standard bind port that doubles as the perfect connection point for racing transponders used in organized RC competition.

EASY-TO-USE BATTERY & CHARGER

On a full charge, the included Spektrum Smart 2S LiPo battery provides 20 minutes of uninterrupted run time. When it's time to recharge, just plug the supplied charger into any convenient USB or USB-C power source. It's simple, safe, and gets you back on the track fast.

EFFICIENT POWERTRAIN FOR 20+ MPH SPEEDS

The Losi Asphalt Late Model GROM's factory-installed powertrain features a powerful 28-turn brushed motor paired with a 25 amp electronic speed controller. An included 25mm electric fan ensures a long life of maximum performance by keeping the motor cool while you race at 20+ mph top speeds.

BUILT TOUGH TO LAST

Unlike remote control toys, the hobby-quality Losi Asphalt Late Model GROM is designed and built to withstand season after season of racing. The front splitter, rear diffuser, and nerf bars effectively shield all critical components from impacts with other racers.

MAKE IT YOURS

The Losi Asphalt Late Model GROM is fully customizable. Optional clear bodies are available that you can finish however you wish for a look that's all your own. You can upgrade the shocks, camber links, tires, and more to give your car tuning capabilities like a real racing car.

SPEKTRUM SLT2 2.4GHz RADIO

Race with an unlimited number of other drivers and never worry about signal conflicts, thanks to the interference-resistant 2.4GHz technology of the Spektrum SLT2 radio. Adjustments on the transmitter let you fine-tune steering control to suit your individual racing style.

ROOKIE MODE

The throttle limiting switch on the back of the SLT2 transmitter lets you put your car in “rookie mode,” limiting speeds to 50% or 75% of its full potential — perfect for learning RC control skills gradually and safely. It's great for sharing the fun with younger, less experienced drivers, knowing they'll be able to stay in control.

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE

For superior traction on concrete and asphalt, the Losi Asphalt Late Model GROM includes an AWD drivetrain rather than 2-wheel drive. More grip is available for cornering, so you can put the power down quickly when you're exiting the turns.

METAL GEARS

Critical gears are made of metal to endure demanding racing action. The transmission uses robust metal gears to carry power from the motor through an enclosed drivetrain to the wheels and tires. Even the Spektrum SX110 steering servo has metal gears!

EASY TO MAINTAIN & REPAIR

With some simple routine maintenance, the Losi Asphalt Late Model GROM delivers exciting racing performance for years. You'll be able to find parts for repairs and upgrades at many hobby retailers or online. High-quality hex hardware holds everything together, so you don't have to worry about stripping screws.
