| rdfs:comment | - Team Losi is not a yo-yo team, but a company that primarily manufactured R/C (remote control) vehicles. In 1998, they hired Steve Brown to design a line of yo-yos for them, to try to capitalise on the popularity of yo-yos at the time. 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-yo designs to Variflex and Steve for Variflex's yo-yo instructional video.
- Team Losi (commonly referred to as just Losi) is an RC vehicle manufacturer started by Gil Losi in the mid-1980s. Their first vehicle was the JRX-2, a 1/10th scale offroad racing buggy, which came out in 1988. The cars, trucks, and buggies that Team Losi makes are normally designed for racing, and are very high quality, with the notable exceptions of the Mini-T and the Losi Super Truck (LST). These are also the only two vehicles that were originally available in a sport ready to run package (RTR), instead of an unassembled kit.

| abstract | - Team Losi is not a yo-yo team, but a company that primarily manufactured R/C (remote control) vehicles. In 1998, they hired Steve Brown to design a line of yo-yos for them, to try to capitalise on the popularity of yo-yos at the time. Their first releases, initially under the brand of "Revolution Yo-Yos" and later their own brand, 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-yo designs to Variflex and Steve for Variflex's yo-yo instructional video. Steve left Team Losi in 1999 for Duncan, after problems relating to Variflex. Team Losi's yo-yo line was sold in 2001 and was discontinued at that time.

The Team Losi "sport" RTR models are slightly de-tuned versions of the racing kits. They have plastic parts that have "RTR" molded into every piece, and are completely assembled with a JR radio, Novak speed control, and unknown brand 19 turn "spec" motor. Currently popular Losi vehicles are the XXX-T2, XXX-NT2, JRX-S, XXX-S, Mini-T, XXX-4, XXX-BK2, and LST.
