Unleash The Fury! The VORTEX ACE edition is specifically designed by Hobby Warehouse to offer a tougher more durable HSP 1/10 buggy over the standard version for the RC driver that demands more from their offroad machinery. With its striking blue cover, matching blue wing and colour coded blue aluminium parts that perfectly compliment the blue accent on the centers of the bright chrome wheels, this buggy performs as good as it looks.The ACE models are only available from Hobby Warehouse and when looking for a HSP "PRO" model off road vehicle you should demand that your buggy be built in the same way. Upgrades & Colour Coding. Upgraded front shock brace manufactured from heavy duty aluminium. Colour coded Shock Absorbers are fitted with metal bodies to improve strength, bounce and rebound over harsh terrain. Colour coded aluminium chassis brace and matching internal components.Adjustable Suspension: All 4 shock absorbers on this ACE model are fully adjustable and allow the operator to dial in the suspension to suit the type of terrain they want to operate on. Simply turn the adjustment nut on the shock body and you can apply more preload to the spring, firmer for a smooth surface to reduce body roll or softer for rugged off road environments where you need all the suspension travel you can get. Rear wheel camber is adjustable along with front wheel camber and toe in toe out also being fully adjustable via a simple turnbuckle system on the steering arms. Your sure to find the setup that is right for just about any operating surface.Awesome Performance: Motivation for the ACE comes from a powerful Brushless 3300kV motor. The drive train is coupled to metal motor and main differential gears which translates to scintillating wheel standing performance. Squeeze the throttle and watch this guided missile rocket into the distance.Brushless ESC: The 60A Brushless Electronic Speed Controller is fan cooled and supplies current to the motor and onboard electronics with authority. It is programmable by the user to set race mode without reverse and also with brake function enabled which the operator can select different "Drag Braking Forces" to suit the type of operating environment the vehicle is being run in.NiMH Battery: The Supplied 8.4v 4200mAh NiMH hump pack battery keeps the motor, ESC and onboard electronics supplied with plenty of current for super performance along with a realistic operational time.The ACE version buggies can be fitted with an optional Cougar 7.4V 4500mAh 2S 30C Hard case Lithium Polymer battery for even more power that will take this truck to the next level of performance should the driver want insane acceleration. (Please note the CGHL30C45002S Cougar 4500mAh 7.4v 2S 30C Hard Case LiPo Battery is not included with the truck but is available as an optional extra from our web store.)When changing the battery from NiMH to LiPO the setting on the ESC will need to be changed so that the low voltage cut off is activated to protect this battery type from accidental over discharge. Instructions for programming the ESC are included in the box.Protective Battery Box: All ACE models have a protective battery box and retaining straps hard mounted to the chassis. This offers superior protection for your batteries from the harsh environments these vehicles typically operate in.High Torque Steering Servo: Steering duties are commanded by a HSP E6001 6kg "High Torque" steering servo. The servo is also protected from heavy shock loads that can be amplified through the steering components while operating in harsh terrain by a unique "Servo Saver" system. A special spring loaded joint is incorporated into the steering system which helps dampen severe jarring to the servo and helps extend its longevity.2.4GHz Digital Radio Transmitter System: The "Mean Green ACE Buggy" is supplied with a quality HSP 2.4GHz digital radio transmitter which means you can run other vehicles utilizing the same system without interference at the same time. The radio has forward, reverse, left/right along with proportional throttle control and steering travel adjustment. The supplied 3 channel 2.4 GHz receiver is compact and lightweight and comes matched to the transmitter out of the box. This receiver also offers superior interference rejection and has a failsafe function that can be set by the user if signal is lost or transmitter voltage falls to low.Ready To Run: This HSP 1/10 Buggy comes as a complete package, including an ESC, 2.4GHz radio system, 4 wheel drive system, high torque Brushless motor, aluminium upper deck chassis, aluminium drive shaft and shock mount, oilfilled shock absorbers with progressive springs and 8.4V 4200mAh NiMH battery with battery charger.
