Boasting the power of an ORION Vortex 10 brushless motor and a high-powered ESC equipped with cooling fan, this truck generates incredible torque for dynamic acceleration from a standing start. The high efficiency of the shaft drive 4WD works in perfect sync with the long span arms and double wishbone suspension to deliver precision surface tracing for superb handling on paved, gravel and rough-road surfaces as well as delivering controlled touch downs in jump landings. Combining the off-road power of a big-tire machine with the exceptional control usually seen on a racing circuit, performance like this has never before been realized in a monster truck. The mid-size dimensions make it easy to manage and it is packaged as a Readyset so all you need are batteries for the transmitter and chassis and a battery charger. Simply charge the batteries and this electric powered model surges to life with no messy fuel oil to clean up afterwards so you can enjoy the power and glory of monster trucking on your own terms.
