Key Features & Specifications

• Scale & Dimensions: 1/18 scale, approximately 22cm in length.

• Drive System: 4WD (Four-Wheel Drive) with a shaft-driven transmission for reliable power delivery.

• Motor: Brushed 390 motor (often listed as "high-torque"). This provides good low-end power for climbing and acceleration but is less efficient and powerful than brushless systems.

• Speed: Claimed top speed of up to 30 km/h (≈18.6 mph), which is quite fast for its size. Actual speed depends on battery and surface.

• Chassis & Body: Durable plastic monocoque chassis with a realistic, pre-painted polycarbonate (or strong ABS) buggy body.

• Suspension: Full independent suspension on all four wheels with adjustable shock absorbers for handling bumps and jumps.

• Tires: Large, textured off-road tires mounted on stylish black wheels, providing excellent grip for dirt, grass, and gravel.

• Radio System: 2.4GHz pistol-grip radio controller. The 2.4GHz frequency eliminates signal interference from other transmitters and allows multiple cars to run simultaneously.

• Battery: Typically includes a 7.4V 850mAh Li-ion battery (2S). Important Note: Many users later upgrade to higher-capacity LiPo batteries for longer run times and more power.

• Charger: Comes with a basic USB charger for the included battery.

• Key Capabilities:

  • High Speed: Agile and fast for its size.

  • Climbing: Good low-speed torque for tackling moderate inclines and rough terrain.

  • Drift: Can perform power slides and drifts on loose surfaces like dirt, gravel, or smooth floors.

  • Off-Road: Its suspension, ground clearance, and 4WD make it a capable off-roader for its scale.
