See it in Action: ROCHobby 1/7 Ridge Racer U4 Desert Buggy RS [Video]
FMS has added a new, brushless off-road machine to its lineup, and it's a big one. The ROCHobby 1/7 Ridge Racer U4 Desert Buggy features durable steel components, a powerful motor, and scale details. It is officially licensed by Ford and RTR.
The RidgeRacer is a bit of a change in direction for FMS, whose primary models are geared toward trail driving and crawling. This go-fast machine certainly looks like a fun option for R/C fanatics who enjoy performance as much as visual details.
