ALL-Terrain Terror – Traxxas’ BL-2s Brushless Powered Ford Fiesta ST Rally

Undoubtedly inspired by the Ford Rally WRC racecar, Traxxas’ latest RC release captures the essence of the world-class rally racer and puts it into your hands. The rally-bred Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally is a 1/10-scale brushless-powered rally racecar that aims to take your RC driving experience to new heights and over any terrain.

With agile handling, sticky AWD traction and a sleek licensed body, the ready-to-run (RTR) Fiesta ST Rally promises to deliver the full rally racing experience in RC form. Let’s dive into the features that make this RC car the powerhouse that it is.

BL-2s Brushless power
The Fiesta ST Rally is equipped with the new BL-2s brushless power system for effortless high-speed power and a torque boost for explosive acceleration. The BL-2s brushless power system not only boosts speed and acceleration but also ensures long-lasting performance with improved efficiency. The 3300kV motor requires minimal maintenance, providing a hassle-free racing experience.

EXTREME DUTY
As if the abundant power isn’t enough, Traxxas takes the car’s durability up several notches by including the Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit as standard, enhancing overall strength and durability to handle the toughest challenges on and off the track. The factory-installed Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit reinforces drivetrain and suspension components for ultimate strength. From HD shock towers to steel wheel hubs, this Rally boasts a seriously stout driveline.

The slipper clutch, featuring larger alloy pressure plates and high-temperature aluminum pads, ensures superior power handling. Sealed steel-gear differentials are ready for brushless power without the need for costly upgrades, and the modular chassis design makes differential access a quick task.

Stability Meets Serviceability
Riding on a long-wheelbase chassis with a rigid triangulated support design, the Fiesta ST Rally achieves extra stability without compromising flexibility. The car’s low center of gravity ensures a planted and surefooted feel even at high speeds. This stability is part of what delivers an authentic and thrilling rally driving experience. The modular chassis design allows for easy removal of the front and rear sections, providing quick access for service and adjustment.

Carefully positioned components on the Rally chassis result in optimal weight distribution and allow it to achieve perfect weight bias for neutral handling precision. The mass is strategically distributed down the centerline, ensuring the smooth and stable cornering that racers crave.

LONG TRAVEL SUSPENSION
Featuring seemingly bottomless suspension travel, the Fiesta ST Rally’s long travel suspension effortlessly absorbs jumps and helps deliver incredible control. Performance-optimized components offer maximum articulation without binding, and oil-filled Ultra Shocks ensure a smooth performance that can be tuned to your liking.

CLIPLESS CONVENIENCE
We’re raved about this in past Traxxas vehicles, and it’s no different with the Rally. The innovative reinforced clipless body offers secure mounting with quick and easy removal. No posts, no clips—simply drop the body onto the chassis and snap it into place for a secure hold. Battery changes are a breeze with side tabs for quick access. We simply love this feature—it works well and looks great.

Weather-proof fun
Just like with real rally cars, you’ll enjoy racing the Rally in any weather conditions you find yourself in. Traxxas’ patented waterproof technology ensures your RC action is not limited by the climate. Enjoy the freedom to race, come rain or shine.

RACE-INSPIRED TIRES & WHEELS
Rally’s unique directional tire tread pattern in high-grip rubber provides the ultimate bite on various terrains. The rugged rally wheels feature a 12-spoke rally replica design, combining style and strength for an unbeatable racing experience. Get ready to unleash the rally fury with the Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally—the epitome of brushless power and performance on the track.
