The kit includes longer arm links and shocks, taller springs, extended driveshafts, modified servo mount and all necessary hardware.

The truck builds on a heavy duty steel frame chassis with adjustable wheelbase, dual battery tray, floor pans, aluminium scale shocks and heavy-duty steel links and its driveline is equipped with portal axles, locked differentials, a steel gear transmission and hardened steel U-joints. The RTR set is rounded out by the new XL-5 HV speed controller, a Titan 21T 550-class brushed motor, a waterproof metal gear servo and a TQ 2-channel radio system.
