Hobby King Truggy

From HobbyKing:

There’s nothing like the sound, the smell and the feel of nitro to get your blood pumping. If you liked the original you will love the nitro version of this favourite all-rounder. No matter if you’re a basher or an ocassional racer the tough chassis and tuneable suspension coupled with a super powerful .28 engine will keep supplying the fun until the fuel runs out.

This great value nitro truggy pumps the awesome power of its .28 engine through all four wheels via sealed gear diffs* and a tough drivetrain just like the original electric version; it also carries over the same stiff alloy chassis and suspension geometry. Straight out of the box the truggy handles well; it corners hard, has plenty of grip and is extremely responsive in the air.

The Basher SaberTooth 1/8 Scale Nitro Truggy (RTR) just needs fuel, a glow igniter and a narrow blade long shaft screwdriver to get started. The .28 nitro engine is incredibly easy to get started and will be broken in after a couple of tanks of slow driving. The included 400CC fuel tank is a great design and gives you plenty of time to get to your car if it flips upside down, unlike some that stop working seconds after a you land on your lid.

The SaberTooth Nitro also shares a lot of parts from the original SaberTooth and all the spares for both versions can be found here.

If you’ve always run electric cars and you want to try nitro or you already have the passion for fuel and want a new all-rounder then this is the perfect car for you.
