FTX DR8 1/8 Desert Racer 6S RTR - Blue
-
Description
Get ready to enter the speed arena with the DR8 Desert Racer from FTX! Big, brutal and fast the DR8 is sure to capture the attention of electric powered brushless fans looking for a fast performer with the added bonus of some scale realism.
Featuring the leading 6S compatible Hobbywing speed control and 4274 2000kv brushless motor, the true test will be finding enough space to unleash the DR8 to its full potential of up to 100kph!
At these speeds a solid base is required and the DR8 features heavy-duty materials and a proven design, with 3mm heavy-duty aluminum front and rear braced main chassis, 5mm thick front and rear aluminium shock towers and reinforced moulded suspension components all standard to help soak up any high speed tumbles.
The 4wd drivetrain features sealed oil filled metal-geared differentials coupled with spiral toothed output gear and pinion and is finished off with a hardened steel spur gear for a near bulletproof transmission.
Fully adjustable pivot ball suspension, front and rear anti-roll bars and big bore adjustable oil filled shock absorbers all contribute to provide race like handling and adjustability for different terrains.
The DR8 is topped off with a classic, desert buggy inspired moulded tubular roll cage frame with printed lexan panels and spare wheel. A detailed interior driver cockpit, painted fire extinguishers are all rounded off with super bright front and rear LED light bars.
All that you have to do is decide if you want 4S or 6S power. Just make sure you can handle it!

Can't fault modelsport !!
by guest31st MarVerified PurchaseStill fantastic value in 2022 when looking at what is in the 6s market! My first 6s 1/8th vehicle and I am glad I made the leap!
by adavies401031st MarVerified PurchaseI loooooove this car. The modelsport guys were really helpful with a few of my email enquiries as I could not decide between this and the Losi Lasernut which looks better but is more expensive and not as fast. This thing is a beast. I’ve only done two ‘bedding in” runs in the street but it left my and my neighbours jaws on the ground with how hard this thing accelerates. Before ordering it I was worried it looked a bit naff but in the flesh I love it. Super chunky and handles amazingly.
by rrennard1519911th JunVerified PurchaseHard to beat for the price, it looks great and goes even better . Make sure to order the rear alloy suspension mount and your good to go.
by guest27th FebVerified PurchaseFantastic service once again from Modelsport thanks Andy. The DR8 is super fast with very little ballooning on the stock tyres with the added scale detail and the leds it looks amazing ...
