ECX Torment & Ruckus 1/24th scale RTR trucks

Coming soon from Horizon Hobby are two new 1/24th scale RTR trucks. First up is the Torment short course truck featuring all-wheel drive and a tough nylon composite chassis. Oil-filled shock absorbers smooth out the ride over ruts, bump and jumps while grippy all-terrain tyres make for great forward and side bite. The chassis sports a bottom-loading battery compartment for the included 220mAh 6-cell NiMH battery and the factory-installed receiver and speed controller combo is coupled to a powerful brushed motor. Topping all of this off is a pre-painted bodyshell which is available in two different colour variants. The fully ready-to-run package is rounded out by a 2.4GHz radio system and an USB charger. Beside the Torment ECX also has the Ruckus monster truck to offer that uses the same chassis while sporting a pick-up style body and a larger wheel and tyre combo.
