Description
Please Note:

This kit comes without an ESC, Motor, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting, painting and drilling.

The updated Novafox 2WD buggy is a tribute to its popular predecessor from the late 1980s, and shares the same chassis as the iconic Hotshot. Its elegant, slim polycarbonate body features markings that hark back to the original model and evoke the look of a full-size racing buggy. The buggy is equipped with metal-plated gold-coloured wheels and front ribbed and rear oval block tyres for excellent off-road performance. A driver figure can be installed in the cockpit for a more realistic look.

The classic model retains its dust-resistant monocoque frame and 4-wheel independent double suspension, while receiving updates suited to the modern R/C world: dog-bone type driveshafts, a stabiliser to neutralise roll, and sealed gearbox and rear uprights with a total of 8 ball bearings as standard for more effective power transmission.
