Robitronic Protos v2 1/8 Nitro Buggy ARTR

New from Robitronic:Awesome engineering mixed with proven elements – that’s our formula for uncompromised offroad fun!

Granted, Robitronics all new Protos v2 stays true to this formula: thoroughly assembled and outfitted with many tuning parts, the Protos v2 is sure to turn heads from the backyard to the racing track. Add the powerful, yet easy to tune 4,6ccm engine, and you’ve got one hell of a buggy right out of the box!

Robitronic even paid attention to often overlooked details that may as well spoil your fun: Steering an 1/8th scale buggy at top speeds is real muscle work. So, the Protos v2 comes stock with a ball raced, metal geared Savöx servo pressing 10,5kg*cm of torque. The throttle servo also features heavy duty metal gears and ball bearings.
