Key Features
Speeds of 33+ km/h
The manufacturer lists a top speed of 33+ km/h. Actual performance can vary depending on battery charge, surface and driving conditions.
Full-Time 4WD
The four-wheel-drive system helps provide traction across suitable outdoor surfaces.
IPX6 Splash Resistance
The supplied product information lists IPX6 splash-proof electronics. This rating relates to water exposure under defined test conditions and should not be treated as permission to submerge the truck. Dry the vehicle after wet use and follow the manufacturer's care instructions.
Independent Suspension and Coil-Over Shocks
Independent suspension and coil-over shocks at all four corners help the truck manage uneven surfaces and bumps during recreational driving.
Reinforced Chassis Structure
The triangular chassis design is intended to improve structural rigidity during use and landings. Avoid extreme impacts that could damage the vehicle.
Rubber Chevron Off-Road Tyres
The rubber tyres feature a chevron-style tread intended for grip on suitable off-road surfaces.
LED Headlights
Working LED headlights add visibility and help the truck stand out during use. Always drive where you can clearly see the vehicle.
Adjustable Remote Control
The 2.4GHz proportional pistol-style transmitter includes high and low speed modes, plus steering and throttle trims. The supplied information notes that transmitter batteries are not included.
Modular Battery
