An outsized, excessive torque Axial Boulder 550 21-turn brushed motor sends energy by way of sturdy, heavy-duty WB12 driveshafts to formally licensed Raceline Avenger wheels and 5.5-inch tall Mickey Thompson Baja Boss M/T tires. Surrounding all of it is a sturdy composite cage that provides safety and challenge-ready path buggy seems.

The included Spektrum DX3 radio and Firma 70A ESC provide the telemetry advantages of unique Sensible know-how.
