BUILT LIKE THE BIG ONES
The same architecture you'll find in $400+ trucks — brushless power, real suspension, real radio — at half the price.
Brushless Motor
No brushes to wear out, no sparks — just raw, efficient power pushing 50+ mph. More torque, longer life, zero motor maintenance.
Oil-Filled Shocks
Real suspension, not toy-grade plastic springs. Four oil-filled coilovers soak up jumps, curbs, and rough terrain like a full-size truck.
2S LiPo Included
Rechargeable 7.4V LiPo in the box with a USB balance charger. 30+ minutes per charge — no alkalines, no dead batteries mid-session.
2.4GHz Radio
Modern FHSS transmitter with zero frequency conflicts. Full-range control — drive it as far as you can see it.
Hobby Grade
Every part is replaceable, every component upgradeable. When you want more power or speed, the standard 1/12 parts ecosystem has you covered.
Ready to Run
No building, no soldering, no setup. Open the box, charge the battery, and hit the dirt.

WHAT THE CREW SAYS
Don't take our word for it — take theirs.
“Had this thing for 3 weeks. Flipped it off a 6-foot ledge. Still runs perfect. The brushless motor is no joke — this thing is FAST.”
“Bought this for my son's birthday. He's 12 and this is his first hobby-grade truck. He hasn't put it down since, and the battery outlasts his old one by a mile.”
“I've owned trucks from the big three brands. For $199, this holds its own. The suspension is smooth and the top speed is real — not inflated.”
“Third RC car I've bought this year. This one actually feels hobby grade out of the box. No upgrades needed to have fun — that's rare at this price.”
“Ordered Monday, arrived Thursday. Drove it in the park and got stopped by four people asking where I got it. Already ordered a second one.”
“The 2.4GHz radio is clean — no interference. Drove it 200+ feet out and still had full control.”
