DETAILED INSIDE & OUT
One look at this beauty and you’ll notice the precision that’s gone into crafting the chassis. It’s contoured for excellence and designed to handle a variety of terrains with finesse. Whether you’re navigating rocky trails, dirt tracks, or anything in between, this chassis is your trusty companion.

The molded Lexan body panels not only add to the aesthetic appeal but also contribute to the durability of this RC rock racer. They’re designed to withstand the occasional bumps and scrapes that come with off-road adventures.

It’s also all about the scale details, and the inclusion of a faux fuel cell adds a touch of realism to your rock racing experience. In the cockpit you’ll find a detailed, crafted-to-scale dashboard complete with GPS, radio comms and other features. The attention to these little details sets this RC vehicle apart from the rest. Under the hood you’ll find a scale V8 crate engine housing assembly that further enhances the realism of this rock racer. It’s not just about the performance; it’s about living the experience.

FORM & FUNCTION

The functional scale two-speed transmission and transfer case make sure that the power from the brushless motor is put to good use. Switch from 2WD to 4WD and lock the front or rear differentials to get over a particularly difficult section of trail. You can trust this rock racer to deliver power where it’s needed most, ensuring a smooth and responsive ride. Inside the gearbox you’ll find hardened steel gears as well as smooth-rolling ball bearings.

Rock crawling enthusiasts, take note. The Pro Rock Racer comes equipped with 2.2” beadlock wheels that provide a firm grip on uneven terrain. No obstacle is too big for these wheels to tackle. The Grappler 2.2” scale tires are another testament to this rock racer’s versatility. These tires are designed to provide excellent traction whether you’re climbing steep inclines or dropping down treacherous descents.

To ensure a smooth ride over bumpy terrains, this rock racer is fitted with dual-spring front and rear aluminum-bodied shocks. These absorb shocks and bumps to make your driving experience comfortable and more controlled.

ON THE ROCKS

We headed out to the park to see what the Pro Rock Racer could do. This is a new type of offering from RC4WD, which is mainly known for highly-detailed crawlers, so we were pretty curious. Once we hit the dirt at speed, we knew that they have a fun vehicle on their hands in the Pro Rock Racer. We made sure to check that it was capable of taking in some rock crawling as well and we’d like to report that yes, it can crawl. We especially like the scale details that RC4WD built into this vehicle. It’s not often that you get to see such a detailed rock racer.
