The Camo line utilises a new chassis design that offers the realistic driving characteristics of a full sized desert racer thanks to its 4-link suspended, solid rear axle and independent front suspension for a true desert and rock racing experience. The Camo TT and X4 are ready to run once owners supply the required batteries and charger and they are 2S LiPo-ready. The Camo was designed to be an all around great performer, as well as a stunning display piece while not in use. The TT’s realistic cockpit seats a driver and navigator, strapped in safely, with the spare tire captured inside the realistic roll-cage directly behind them. The scale body design allows the roll-cage to be seen as the Camo TT screams across the desert terrain while the X4 sports a full roll cage, and a detailed cockpit with scale driver and navigator. Additional scale details, like the fire extinguisher, round off the X4’s scale appearance. The aggressive off-road tyres grip the toughest terrain, and look awesome doing it. The unique horizontal tread design work well on both loose and hard surfaces alike. Both vehicles will hit stores this August.
