Built to Bash, Tuned for Control
The nylon composite chassis keeps weight low and absorbs impacts while the metal anti-collision plate protects the undercarriage. Independent shocks maintain tire contact and stability through bumps and quick transitions.
TPR vacuum tires feature an aggressive tread to dig into loose surfaces and resist cuts and delamination. The tread blocks clear mud and debris to maintain traction.
A secure battery strap keeps the pack firmly in place during acceleration, braking, and jumps. Adjustable metal link helps fine-tune handling.
The compact 35A 2-in-1 ESC/receiver simplifies wiring and adds low-voltage and over-temperature protection.
The RS390 high-torque motor delivers strong low-end punch for starts, hill climbs, and loose terrain, aided by an integrated cooling fan.
Front & rear planetary differentials balance power across wheels for smoother cornering and consistent traction on mixed surfaces.
Metal dog-bone drive shafts and ball bearings reduce drivetrain losses and withstand repeated impacts.
The 2.4GHz radio offers long range, precise proportional control, dual-rate adjustments for throttle/steering, and a light control switch. Multiple cars can run together without interference.
