Axial SMT10 Grave Digger 4WD RTR Monster Truck

Following the introduction of the Axial Racing SMT10 Monster Truck Raw Builder’s Kit, Horizon Hobby also announce the soon release of the Axial SMT10 Grave Digger 4WD RTR Monster Truck. Building on the same SMT10 chassis, the Grave Dogger truck features a 1950s-era panel van body that is as ghoulishly real as it gets, from the trademark graveyard paint scheme and chrome Zoomie headers to the driver figure with glow-in-the-dark helmet. BKT Monster Jam style tyres with foam inserts add more scale realism along with impressive grip and handling on a wide range of terrain. Everything going on beneath the scale body is just as exciting. Axial designers went all out when creating the chassis and roll cage for the SMT10 Grave Digger monster truck. Very similar to those of full-size Monster Jam® trucks, the SMT10 tube frame chassis was developed for maximum strength and has an extremely realistic appearance. There are a variety of shock mounting points for suspension tuning options, with additional mounting points on the cage and at the axle for moving the shocks to a more scale, vertical position if desired. Mated to the proven Axial AR60 axle, the 4-link suspension soaks up any obstacles in its path. The truck comes factory-built and ready-to-run with updated, improved electronics and radio gear. The Dynamite 550-size motor provides higher torque and top speed for pulling off radical monster truck moves. It’s matched with a LiPo- and NiMH-compatible Dynamite 60A ESC that features forward/brake/reverse, forward/brake and crawler drive modes. The included FHSS 2.4GHz radio gear is all high-quality Spektrum brand equipment. The STX2 2-channel transmitter and SRX200 receiver provide fast response and outstanding range. Equipment needed to get the truck going includes a 2S LiPo battery pack with IC3 connector, four AA batteries, and a suitable charger.
