Helion Rock Rider BL 1/10-scale Rock Racer
If you’re a fan of R/C rock racing, or rock racers in general, the Helion Rock Rider Brushless might be a model worth looking at. This four-wheel drive, ready-to-run (RTR) off-road machine has just about everything you’d want, from an aggressive appearance, adjustable handling components, and speed.
The speed comes from its 3300kv brushless motor which is powered by a 7-cell, 1800mah NiMh battery. Independent front suspension With a solid-axle rear suspension help this machine maneuver over rocks and other obstacles and the all-weather electronics help to keep the fun rolling, even in wet conditions.
A 2-channel, 2.4GHz Ikonnik ET3 radio system Is also included, providing both range and fine-tuning to this rock racer.
As far as looks are concerned, the Rock Rider BL features an old-school “hot rod flames” paint scheme and an aggressively styled body. Fans of Axial’s Yeti will see some styling similarities between the two models.

While a price hasn’t been released for this model, Helion is what I'd concider a “budget-minded” brand, so I wouldn’t expect this model to break the bank. Learn more about the Helion Rock Rider BL at helion-rc.com.
