HPI Blackzon Smyter DB BLUE 1/12 4WD Electric Desert Buggy (Beginners Larger Ready To Run with Battery/Charger Included) #540115
Part Number or Barcode: 5700135401158
Stock Level: In Stock. For further info: Click Here.

Blackzon have added to their incredibly tough Slyder range a bigger brother - the Smyter.  These cars are the larger 1/12 scale meaning they are well suited to outside use, but still surprisingly tough despite the high speeds and sharp handling they demonstrate.  Three body styles and two colours mean there is a choice of six different cars - and like everything they run on 2.4Ghz digital frequencies meaning you can power up almost as many as you like and have no interference between the models, making them ideal for family race meetings!
 
The Blackzon Smyter is perfect for getting a taste of RC jumping, performing stunts, bashing (and crashing!) ...Simply charge n' go and keep coming back for more!
 
With their 4WD shaft drivetrain, independent double wishbone suspension, adjustable coilover shocks and 4-Gear differentials both front and rear - the Smyter clambers over all kinds of terrain both indoors and out, giving you all-out fun wherever you choose to drive! Plus with its protective gear cover, servo saver built into the servo horn and splashproof electronics - you needn't worry about puddles or debris standing in your way!
 
All the Smyter trucks look awesome with a choice of two different liveries: Choose electric BLUE & black or bright acid GREEN & black. Each style comes complete with matching Beadlock effect wheel rims.
 
The whole Smyter family has plenty of get-up-and-go, preloaded with a brushed electric 390 motor and Li-Ion 7.4V 1500mAh Battery w/ T-Plug connector, you'll have all the power you need - plus a USB charger for ultimate convenience.
 
Three body styles are available - just choose the one that suits you (title above shows both colour and body style you're looking at):
 
Desert Buggy: With its roll cage housing the realistic driver and co-driver figures, gnarly beadlock effect treaded tyres and fully functioning spare wheel and tyre to get you out of a jam on those desert runs, The Smyter Desert Buggy is every bit as much fun to drive as you'd imagine.
 
Desert Truck: For that extra downforce for blasting over rocks and dunes, the Desert Truck gives you the all-terrain racing edge while its aggressive body style and grippy tyres make the DT as good to look at as it is to drive.

Monster Truck: No RC Truck line up is complete without a Monster Truck at the helm! Rolling on directional tractor tyres built for clambering over anyone or anything in its path, the MT (like all the Smyter trucks) lights up the night with its LED light pods and takes no prisoners.
