ROCHobby 1/7 Ridge Racer U4 Desert Buggy RS
If you crave speed with a dash of scale detail, you'll want to check out the latest release from FMS; the ROCHobby 1/7 Ridge Racer U4 Desert Buggy. With official licensing from Ford and RTR, this larger-scale off-road machine looks ready to blast over dunes and easily rip around wide open spaces.
Designed for speed and performance, the ROCHobby Ridge Racer features an independent front suspension, a solid rear axle, aluminum-bodied shocks, steel gears, and an aluminum chassis.
At the heart of this model is a 1600kv brushless motor that, paired with a 150A ESC, should provide plenty of power to all four wheels. Other highlights of this model include an aluminum center diff case, steel driveshafts, and pre-installed LED lights that'll keep your R/C fun going day or night.
The Ridge Racer sports a polycarbonate body that's designed to replicate the 1:1 Fun-Haver Bronco RTR Ultra4 off-road racer. Two color schemes are available to choose from, red and blue, and both feature a white bronco body base.
