The Rock Rider BL Story

Off-road cars, buggies and monster trucks are fabulous, however there are times when you just fancy something a little unusual, perhaps with a look and performance that adds a new dimension to your RC driving and turns heads wherever it goes? Feeding off the massive popularity of the existing Rock Rider, Helion design engineers were tasked with making it even faster and, to reflect its new status, giving it a striking new paint job. They’ve done well. Packing a 3300kV brushless motor, 50A all-weather ESC and the same, proven, 4WD powertrain that gives the Rock Rider platform its beans, the Rock Rider Brushless is a car that’s been thoroughly tested in the full range of off-road conditions and has passed with flying colors.

Pop the clips, lift the body and beneath you’ll find a finely-tuned blend of high-strength composites that combine with a proven transmission and suspension system to provide traction and stability when you most need it. From the arsenal of carefully considered mechanical weaponry and there’s much to admire, not least a solid 6-link rear axle that offers almost limitless tuning options, plus corner-to-corner aluminum threaded shocks for easy pre-load adjustment, smooth movement, and consistent handling. Topped with an independent front suspension system and high-grip all-weather tires all the crucial boxes have been checked. With hex bolts throughout, a fully protected spur gear housing and a shock-absorbing sprung servo saver, we’ve made low maintenance a priority, too.

A take-anywhere trailblazer, mud bogger, hill climber and dust blaster, the Rock Rider Brushless is a performance-enhanced all-terrain all-rounder that’ll quickly become your grab ‘n’ go truck.

Helion Brushless Power System

Equipped with a high-performance Helion 3300kV brushless motor, a 50 amp all-weather ESC and the same proven 4WD powertrain that’s enjoyed by Rock Rider BR owners, you can be assured of efficiency, speed and reliable power no matter what the conditions.

1800mAh Battery and AC Charger

Advanced IKONNIK ET3 Transmitter

Offering a class-leading feature set, the advanced IKONNIK ET3 2.4GHz 3-channel sport transmitter offers style, comfort and an interference-free performance, courtesy of IKONNIK’s rock-solid Krypton (Kr) protocol. Functions include servo reversing on both primary channels, steering dual rate, throttle trim, steering trim and, perfect for beginners, throttle end point adjustment.

Rear Axle

Scale in appearance and offering the same benefits as a 1:1 Rock Racer, a 6-link rear axle with offset pumpkin offers almost limitless tuning options and improves ground clearance.

Included is a rechargeable 7-cell, 8.4V 1800mAh battery, mains charger and 2-channel 2.4GHz IKONNIK ET3 radio system with fully proportional steering and throttle control. All you need to complete is 4 ‘AA’ batteries for the transmitter.

Front Suspension

An independent front suspension system combined with high-grip all-weather tires offers ultimate off-road stability and traction.

Transmission Cover

To improve reliability, reduce wear and keep you on the off-road for longer, we’ve given the spur gear fully enclosed belt and braces protection.

Easy Access

Convenient maintenance access to the rear heavy-duty differential is via a scale-effect cover plate that’s secured with four hex bolts.
