Losi Micro Rock Crawler 1:24 Scale

The Micro Rock Crawler is unlike any crawler you have ever seen. 

First, it is the smallest crawler around. And second, it is the first Micro vehicle to have a radio system with Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM technology. The Micro Rock Crawler can pretty much crawl anywhere. You can run it on the couch, over your keyboard, and almost any place outside. 

The 1/24 Micro Rock Crawler RTR it's small in size and big on fun.

 

WR8 Ford Fiesta 3.0 Abu Dhabi Nitro Rally Car

Coming soon from HPI Racing
RTR WR8 3.0 2011 Ford Abu Dhabi Castrol Fiesta WRC

Super Scale World Rally Championship Excitement with Nitro Power!

When you combine the ultra-tough Bullet 3.0 drivetrain with the true to scale look of the Ford Abu Dhabi WRC team, you get the HPI WR8 3.0: scale realism and awesome nitro power!

Rallying is the ultimate test of a road car, pushing it beyond its limits, and by starting with drivetrain from the Bullet 3.0 nitro-powered truck, or designers had the perfect starting point to make an all-new HPI rally car! By making improvements to the suspension and wheelbase, the WR8 3.0 chassis was born! The WR8 keeps the tough bevel gear differentials, 4WD shaft drivetrain, twin disc brakes and fully ball bearing-supported drivetrain of the Bullet nitro truck, but adds a new Nitro Star G3.0 High Output engine, racing-style clutch, new suspension geometry, thick sway bars, plus scale gravel tyres and wheels to make it a real rally contender!

To make it a complete scale package, our bodyshell designers got to work replicating the 2011 Ford Fiesta RS WRC used by the Ford Abu Dhabi World Rally Team, the offical Ford works rally team. This car saw action all around the world, from New Zealand to Norway, Great Britain to Germany! The shape and decals of this championship contender are absolutely spot-on, and when you add the officially licensed Abu Dhabi/Castrol livery, Michelin gravel tyres and OZ wheels, it's impossible to distinguish it from the real thing!
