Features

Upgraded Shock Tower

We also hit the HSP upgrade parts list and added an upgraded shock front tower that is manufactured from a much thicker and stronger grade of aluminium than previous models. The heavy duty construction of this component helps by keeping the shock absorbers aligned to to the correct geometry to provide maximum reaction over harsh terrain.

Adjustable Suspension

All four shock absorbers on the standard HSP models are adjustable and allow the operator to dial in the suspension to suit the type of terrain they wish to drive on. HSP have a unique "c shaped clip" that fits around the shock body just above the spring giving 2 different suspension adjustment settings. Fit this "c clip" to the shock and you can apply more pre-load to the spring for a firmer rate when running on a smooth surface to reduce body roll or take the clip out for a softer rate when running on 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 set-up that is right for just about any operating surface.

Harness The Power

Motivation for this Buggy comes from a powerful 540 Brushed motor. The motor is fitted with a metal gear which provides its power to a special nylon main gear that then transfers power to the front and rear differentials giving power to each corner of the vehicle. The 4 wheel drive system provides spirited performance for the novice through to the expert RC driver.

To help with additional cooling functions the motor is fitted with a color coded finned aluminium heat sink to help dissipate heat from the high performance motor and keep it running at optimum levels even in the harshest off-road or trying conditions.

Great Performance with a Powerful ESC

The 40A Electronic Speed Controller supplies current to the motor and on-board electronics with seamless command.  Providing proportional throttle and forward and reverse acceleration along with correctly matched brake force, this HSP ESC generates smooth and reliable operation including steering.

High Torque Steering Servo

Steering duties are commanded by a HSP 6001 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 "Vortex" 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.
