Speed Passion RS2 & RS1 RTR cars

Speed Passion have released two cars in their new line of RTR cars aimed at entry level drivers. First up is the RTR RS2 Stadium Truck, which features full ball bearings, oil filled shocks, adjustable geometry and is ready to race right out of the box. It features the new Cirtix Inspire 2.0 brushless ESC and Sport Tuned 4000kv motor, giving you more than enough power for the track or your favorite bashing spot to tear up any terrain. And no worries about frequency conflicts either, because the RS2 comes complete with a 2.4Ghz radio system for glitch free operation anywhere. The RS1 is a 1/10th Scale 4wd shaft driven sedan. It too sports the Cirtix Inspire 2.0 ESC with easy forward / reverse operation. The ESC Digital racing respond system uses the same DNA from the 2010 IFMAR World Champion, giving you the choice of 9 levels of power, which allow you to adjust the power to your ability. Supplied with the Sport Tuned 3000kv motor.
