Officially licensed by Volkswagen, this new DuraTrax Baja Bug is RTR with a 2.4GHz radio, motor and ESC. Read the official press release below for more info:
The DuraTrax 1/10-scale VW Baja Bug gives drivers a blast from the past! DuraTrax has engineered this model to match the original characteristics of being tough, tireless and a ball to drive. The Bug takes harsh terrain in stride, handles sand dunes as easily as dirt roads and rainy weather just as confidently as perfect driving conditions. Features like MagnaFlex components and Stress-Tech
protection let drivers take over tough turf with confidence and because the Bug is ready-to-run with a 2.4GHz radio, motor and ESC, they can “drop the hammer” and go anywhere! Scale detail bodies feature signature details of the originals from light bars, bumpers and roof racks to modified fenders and an exposed engine, complete with dual exhaust. The 2.4GHZ radio system is dependable, interference-free and fully compatible with Futaba FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) radio systems like the 2PL, 3PL, and 4PL. The “FTR” graphic on the receiver tells drivers that it’s Futaba Transmitter Ready. The DuraTrax VW Baja Bug is fast, fun affordable and ready to go beyond where the sidewalk ends!
