Get Crusin' with the Traxxas 1/10 Ford Mustang GT

By: Tim Gluth

Traxxas has expanded their on-road 4-TEC lineup beyond their Ford GT and new “bodiless”, chassis-only options to include the Ford Mustang GT. This re-styled American classic is a hit in 1:1 form and it looks like Traxxas has nailed the styling of their 1/10 version.

Riding on the 4-TEC chassis, this all-wheel drive car is powered by a Titan 12-turn brushed motor (550 size) and will run on either a NiMh or LiPo battery pack (not included).
