The 463mm long truck comes fully assembled, it features oil-filled shock absorbers, a gear-type differential and large 130x78mm tyres. The RTR kit is decked out with a pre-decorated body shell in a vintage multi-colour racing livery.

Equipped with a front motor/rear battery design the car utilises a 3.5mm carbon fibre chassis that shifts the weight bias more towards the rear for improved traction while the new aluminium front motor mount houses the updated upper and lower alloy front arms.
