The rigid body carefully reproduces the distinctive lines of the Ford F-100. It includes Ford emblems, the grille, bumpers, door handles, and the roll bar. The interior also features model-quality detailing with textured seats, a steering wheel, and rearview mirrors, enhancing the vehicle’s realism.
The factory-installed lighting system includes headlights, taillights, turn signals, and roof lights. The functions are interconnected and can be controlled via the transmitter. The built-in magnetic connection automatically powers the lights when the body is installed, eliminating the need to manually plug in or unplug cables.
The second generation of the FCX18 chassis features a low center of gravity design. The positioning of the engine and transmission helps improve stability on inclines and reduces the risk of rollovers during technical sections. The numerous metal components also enhance the overall durability of the vehicle.
The 2-speed transmission allows you to adapt the F-100’s performance to the terrain. The low gear prioritizes the torque and precision needed for off-road navigation, while the high gear lets you increase your speed when traveling on trails and in more open areas.
The officially licensed BFGoodrich KO3 tires replicate the distinctive tread pattern of the full-size model. Their tread pattern is designed for crawler use and allows the vehicle to navigate various types of surfaces and obstacles.
