Key Features

• Tough rally-inspired body — 1/18 scale pre-painted shell with applied decals for instant style and protection.
• Impact-absorbing foam front bumper — helps protect the nose during hard landings and minor collisions.
• Adjustable-height body mounts — lets you set ride height for different surfaces or visual preference.
• Waterproof electronic speed control — sealed design keeps the car running through wet conditions and light spray.
• Full proportional drive control — forward, reverse, and braking are smooth and predictable for learning or pushing pace.
• Three drive profiles — choose the feel that matches your skill: Sport mode (forward/brake/reverse), Race mode (forward/brake), or Training Mode™ (reduced forward and reverse range for easier practice).
• EZ-Set one-button setup — quick electronic setup so you spend more time driving and less time adjusting.
• Thermal shutdown protection — ESC safeguards against overheating for longer, safer running sessions.
• 370 brushed motor — proven power source that’s simple to maintain and delivers consistent performance.
• 2.4 GHz 2-channel radio system — ergonomic transmitter with internal antenna and electronic steering trim for easy dialing in.
• 3-channel micro receiver with fail-safe — reliable signal handling and a safety cut that stops the car if the link is lost.
• Servo reversing and trim — lets you correct steering direction and center the wheel without tools.
• Includes battery and charger — comes with an AC wall-outlet charger and a 1200 mAh 5-cell NiMH battery with iD® for convenient, out-of-the-box running.
• Fiber-composite chassis — low-CG layout improves handling and keeps the car planted through corners.
• Quick-release battery hold-down — swap batteries fast during practice sessions or short event days.
• Full-time shaft-driven 4WD — consistent power delivery front and rear for traction on tarmac and light loose surfaces.
• Front and rear gear differentials — improve cornering balance and drivetrain longevity under varied conditions.
• Waterproof sub-micro steering servo — sealed steering unit with an integrated servo saver to protect linkages from shock loads.
• Four-wheel independent suspension — each wheel moves independently for predictable handling over bumps and transitions.
• Coil-over shocks with variable mounting positions — tune spring angle and ride characteristics to match driving surface.
• Low-profile slick tires — pre-glued to 12-spoke rally wheels for a direct tire-to-road feel and easy tire maintenance.
