Description
The red FTX DR8 combines 1/8 scale presence with a 6S-ready brushless power system designed for high-speed running across large off-road areas. A Hobbywing 150A ESC and 2000KV four-pole motor provide forceful acceleration and potential speeds approaching 100km/h, supported by a heavily braced 3mm aluminium chassis and reinforced suspension structure.
The shaft-driven 4WD transmission uses three sealed oil-filled differentials, metal gears, spiral-cut outputs and a hardened steel spur to handle the available torque. Adjustable pivot-ball suspension, front and rear anti-roll bars and aluminium threaded big-bore shocks let experienced drivers tune the car for stability and response. Red printed body panels, a moulded cage, cockpit detailing, spare tyre and powerful LED light bars deliver authentic desert-racer styling to match the performance.
