There is no doubt that the Tracer has been a huge hit with enthusiasts new to R/C cars... but there is always that little bit more excitement to be gained, and we have upped the specification on the monster truck to bring you a brushless version for some real small-scale thrills and spills!
With a 3800kv brushless motor hooked up to a 7.4v 1000mAh 2S lipo battery the Tracer brushless really puts to use its rear mounted wheelie bar. Metal rear dogbones are included for extra durability along with new rear upper suspension links for added reliability under power.
A new 100m range radio is provided to help control those longer speed runs and as with the brushed version, the Tracer brushless edition features coil sprung shock absorbers with multiple mounting points, double wishbone suspension and front universal driveshafts for smooth suspension movement while steering through the rough stuff. Shaft driven 4WD and with geared differentials front and rear provide traction in all conditions.
Plug in front bumper LED lights are included and there is a wide selection of aftermarket options to further up spec your truck to new levels!
