The Neo Fighter Buggy takes its inspiration from the legendary Frog, a 2WD buggy familiar to many who joined the first R/C boom of the 1980s. At home both on- and off-road, this 2WD buggy features a lightweight yet tough monocoque frame that protects vital equipment such as the servo and battery from damage; its long form also offers great stability. Coupled with friction dampers and 4-wheel double wishbone suspension, the Neo Fighter Buggy performs well even on difficult off-road surfaces. Such a combination of hassle-free assembly and high-performance, light-on-its-feet handling is sure to recommend this model not only to fans of the past, but also to the next generation of R/C racers.

The stylish slimline chassis stems from its lightweight yet durable monocoque frame, which features a longitudinally-positioned battery and R/C equipment along the centerline for excellent balance. Ribbed front and square spike rear tires provide ample grip, and the rear-positioned gearbox is sealed to protect from dust and dirt, with the built-in differential gear offering smooth cornering.

Angled Suspension Design
Angled Suspension Design

The front suspension arms are attached at a sharp 25-degree angle to massively improve off-road ability. This aggressive geometry allows the machine to soak up hits and glide over obstacles that would stop a standard rig. It is a high-performance setup built to keep you in total control during the wildest backyard sessions

Customisable Polycarbonate Body

The tough polycarbonate body is built to take a beating while maintaining a sharp scale appearance. You can paint and apply markings as you like to create a one-of-a-kind racer that stands out from the rest of the fleet. It is a durable and versatile shell that brings a professional presence to your construction or racing site.

Heavy Duty Dust Cover

A dedicated dust cover shields your sensitive RC equipment from sand and grit to prevent running trouble on the site. This protective barrier ensures your electronics stay clean and functional even during the most intense desert runs. It is a practical addition that keeps your machine operational in the harshest environments.

Sealed Gearbox For Protection

It is a rugged internal design that keeps your drivetrain running perfectly in any environment.
