Trooper 1:9 Scale Brushless Radio Controlled Short Course Truck

Here we introduce the 1:9 scale brushless short course RC truck - the Trooper; this has a big brushless motor and 11.1V Li-Polymer battery so it will go unbelievably quickly. The 4WD system with front and rear differentials evenly distributes the massive power to the big wheels making this truck a real tour de force. Although this model is described as 1:9 scale it is as long as some of our 1:8 scale models like the Werewolf so you really are getting a lot of model for your money.

The Trooper RC truck is a high performance, high speed machine. It is fitted with highly efficient heatsink metal motor mounts, as standard to prevent the motor getting too hot when being pushed hard. The Trooper's brushless motor and ESC are a new technology that until recently have only been available as upgrades for normal RC cars. This is because to have a brushless setup not only requires the brushless motor but also a brushless ESC, Li-Polymer battery and special li-polymer charger which are all very expensive and would cost hundreds of pounds. Then came some brushless 1:16 scale models, that due to their smaller size only needed a smaller brushless motor etc so could be priced at a realistic level. The special motor in this model is much quicker than the motors found in other models. Because it is brushless, it also means the motor needs no maintenance and can handle a lot more power being pumped into it. So to take full advantage of that the standard 7.2v Ni-Mh batteries that are found in most RC car kits has been replaced with a very powerful 11.1v lithium battery along with a balanced lithium battery charger which is needed for these special batteries.

The brushless RC Truck comes fully built with everything you need to get going apart from eight normal AA batteries for the radio handset. This is a high spec racing model that at full speed requires some real skill to control it. It is therefore recommended for ages 14+.

1:9 SCALE MODEL
This 1/9th scale car measures in at 550mm x 310mm x 190mm (length, width, height)

SOLID ALUMINIUM CHASSIS
Strong aluminium chassis with countersunk screws for a flush surface.

11.1v LI-PO BATTERY
Includes a powerful lithium polymer battery pack to take full advantage of the brushless motor and make it much faster.

FAST 3650 BRUSHLESS MOTOR
A fast brushless motor with aluminium cooling motor mount. Brushless motors are much faster than standard brushed ones.

OIL FILLED SHOCKS
The angle and the tension of the shocks can be adjusted to suit your driving preference and terrain.

ALUMINIUM CENTRAL DRIVE SHAFT
This model comes with a strong aluminium central drive shaft that transfers the power to the front and rear for the 4WD system.

4 WHEEL DRIVE WITH DIFFERENTIALS
This model has a 4 wheel drive system for better performance off road and also improved grip when cornering. The truck also features working front and rear differentials that further greatly improve handling and performance.

ALL NEW 2.4GHz RADIO TRANSMITTER
All new 2.4GHz radio technology is used. This is more reliable than the old FM equipment and allows mulitiple RC cars to be used in the same area without interference.

CENTRAL DIFFERENTIAL GEARBOX
As well as the front and rear differentials, this model also features a third central differential that allows the front and rear wheels to turn at different speeds when needed to improve handling.
