FTX DR8 1/8 Brushless Desert Racer – 6S RC Buggy
Experience off-road power like never before with the FTX DR8 Desert Racer. Tough, fast, and full of scale detail, this 1/8 brushless buggy is perfect for RC fans who want raw performance and rugged looks.
Equipped with a 6S-ready Hobbywing ESC and a 2000KV 4274 brushless motor, the DR8 can hit speeds of up to 62mph (100km/h). It’s a beast built for big spaces and bold drivers!
Designed to take a beating, it features a 3mm aluminium chassis, 5mm aluminium shock towers, and reinforced moulded suspension arms. The 4WD shaft-driven transmission includes sealed, oil-filled metal diffs and a hardened steel spur gear for extreme durability.
For smooth and stable handling, the DR8 includes pivot ball suspension, front and rear anti-roll bars, and big bore oil-filled shocks that let you tackle any terrain with confidence.
With its scale-style roll cage, interior cockpit, and LED light bars front and rear, it looks just as good as it performs.
