The Helion Rock Rider RTR 4WD Electric Rock Racer offers a balance
of fun and performance that you can only fully appreciate when you get
behind the wheel. This is a car that takes the skillful yet pedestrian
art of rock crawling and gives it power. And lots of it! A take-anywhere
trail-blazer, mud bogger, hill climber and dust blaster, the Rock Rider
is the perfect all-terrain all-rounder for back yard or back country
driving.
Pop the clips, lift the body, and beneath you’ll find a purpose
designed 4WD powertrain and chassis that’s been thoroughly tested in the
full range of off-road conditions and given a qualified seal of
approval by Helion test drivers. Here, a mix of high-strength
composites, a rugged high-performance 540 motor, all-weather ESC, plus a
proven transmission and suspension system, combine to offer traction,
speed, and stability when you most need it.
The fact is, Helion has given the Rock Rider an impressive arsenal of
carefully considered mechanical weaponry, starting with a solid, 6-link
rear axle that offers almost limitless tuning options. Heavy-duty front
and rear differentials add to the mix, whilst corner-to-corner aluminum
threaded shocks provide easy pre-load adjustment, smooth movement, and
consistent handling. Topped with an independent front suspension system
and high-grip all-weather tires for ultimate off-road traction, there’s
much to admire. With hex bolts throughout, a fully protected spur gear
housing and a shock-absorbing sprung servo saver, low maintenance is a
priority, too.
Metric Power System
As you’ll be wanting to run your Rock Rider over all manner
of surfaces, it is equipped it with a high-performance 21-turn 550-size

assured of reliable power no matter when or where you drive it.

included charger get you going right out of the box and deliver power
