Description
Painting Required

This body shell comes completely UNPAINTED and may require body post holes to be drilled. Only use a polycarbonate style paint such as The Tamiya PS series to finish these bodies, as standard paints will not adhere and/or cause damage to the body shell's surface. If you require paint, we recommend the polycarbonate safe paints.

Enjoy driving in the dirt!

This is a 1/10 scale R/C assembly kit of a racing truck, the mainstay of US off-road racing. The name 'Asterion' derives from a heavenly dog, who is led by the hunter Bootes in a constellation in the northern sky. The short-bumpered form gives the model a racy feeling, and the metallic stickers add embellishment to the black body. The chrome-plated wheels and off-road tires add to the splendid experience of driving this high-performance truck.

Short-bumpered body and large-diameter tires make for fun driving. The R/C mechanism, battery pack, and drive belt are protected by a dust-proofed frame and dedicated bumper.

Features
  • The XV-01 chassis offers exciting R/C driving action on both on-road and dirt track surfaces.
  • Front-motor, belt-driven 4WD layout with the gearboxes, drive belt, battery, and R/C unit areas protected by covers against dirt and debris.
  • Holes in the bottom of the chassis further help remove any debris which manages to get onboard to ensure unhindered off-road performance.
  • Detachable wheel well liners help prevent mud and gravel intrusion.
  • Gear differential units enable customization with different viscosities of differential oils.
