Acme Trooper 1:10 Scale Brushless Radio Controlled Truck
Brushless motor systems 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 brushless models that due to there smaller size only needed a smaller brushless motor etc so could be priced at a realistic level.
Here we introduce the 1:10 scale brushless truck - the Trooper; this has a big brushless motor and 11.1V Li-Polymer battery so it will go unbelievably quickly.
Although this model is described as 1:10 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 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 4WD system with front and rear differentials evenly distributes the massive power to the chromed wheels making this truck a real tour de force.
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-Cd 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+.
