Team Losiedit this page
From YoYo Wiki
Team Losi was not a yo-yo team, but a company that primarily manufactured RC (remote control) vehicles. In 1998 they hired Steve Brown to create a line of yo-yos for them, to try to capitalise on the popularity of yo-yos at the time.
Their first releases were the Da Bomb (modified shape) and Cherry Bomb (butterfly shape). Later, the Grim Sleeper was added. These would eventually be released in two special versions: the A-line (using harder heavier plastic) and the Silver Series (chrome plated). The harder chrome finish of the Silver Series helped remedy the common complaint of the starbursts wearing down too quickly because of the soft plastic used.
All of the Team Losi yo-yos were also offered in collectable black versions, short-packed one per case to limit availability. The Silver Series featured short-packed Gold versions.
Team Losi also provided two yo-yos designs to Variflex and Steve for Veriflex's yo-yo instructional video.
Steve left Team Losi in 1999 for Duncan, after problems relating to Variflex. Team Losi was sold in 2001 and the yo-yo line was discontinued at that time.
