Featuring a unique two piece aluminum/plastic tub chassis, these ‘wolves’ include 3 all-metal gear differentials, aluminum motor mounts, 3mm aluminum shock towers, long-stroke oil-filled shocks and complete hex hardware. Other cool features like an anti-vibration ESC mounting plate and built-in wire-routing clips are also standard.

Electronics are also included and installed, featuring an 80A, waterproof ESC, 4000kV brushless motor and 9Kg metal-geared servo, all controlled by a 2.4GHz radio system. The receiver even sits in it’s own water-resistant radio box.
