Basher Announces New 1/8 Scale BSR Rally

Basher Announces New 1/8 Scale BSR Rally

Basher made a name for itself with the Nitro Circus monster and short course truck models (which we reviewed in the May 2014 and September 2014 issues, respectively), and has now added a rally car to the low buck, high-performance family. The BSR Rally is built like a 1/8 scale buggy, and well-equipped with 17mm shocks, 2100KV motor, and 4S-rated 120a speed control. Batteries are up to you, everything else is included with this fully RTR model. Price varies depending on your country, but US buyers are looking at just under $320.

The BSR Rally has a nicely proportioned body and we like the 12-spoke hoops. If it’s like the Nitro Circus trucks, decaling will be left to you.

Hook-and-loop straps hold the battery of your choice, up to 4S LiPo. The single connector on the speed control means you’ll need a series Y-harness if you want to run a pair of 2S LiPo packs.

Looking good back here, with included sway bars and diffuser styling on the rear bumper. The aluminum shocks have 17mm bores.

The small transmitter is functional but likely to be upgraded quickly by many buyers.
