The package includes an assembled Desert Prerunner 1:18 4WD remote control RC car model with installed components: Latrax controller, 23T 370 series motor, 2065A digital servo control, LaTrax 2.4GHz receiver. 2-channel transmitter 2.4 GHz, NiMH battery 7.2 V 1200 mAh, 4x AA batteries for the transmitter. CZ instructions and EN, FR manual.
You need a charger for operation, e.g. Traxxas EZ-Peak 50W or Fusion NX84 with Tamiya-Traxxas reduction.
A smaller, more affordable Latrax RC car model under the Traxxas brand that maintains excellent quality and design. The powerful DC motor gives the model agility and speeds of up to 30 km/h. The real driving experience is completed by the 4WD wheel drive, independent suspension and spring shock absorbers. The robust construction, together with the front bumper, can withstand violent impacts and, if necessary, there are complete spare parts for the model. Precise control without interference is ensured by the Latrax 2.4 Ghz transmitter.
The Desert Prerunner is a 1:18 scale RC model car with 4WD all wheel drive. The chassis of the model is made of fiber-filled nylon. Thanks to its well-thought-out design, it was possible to reduce its center of gravity as much as possible and thereby improve driving characteristics.
Despite its small size, this RC model is equipped like a big car. You can look forward to independent wheel suspension, suspension with shock absorbers and power distribution through the front and rear differential to the semi-axles and then to the wheels.
As with real cars, this RC model uses a front differential that distributes the torque between the wheels and allows for different speeds on the front wheels when cornering. This makes the ride smooth and the toy car has excellent driving characteristics. For perfect power distribution, the model is also equipped with a rear differential. The differentials are equipped with metal gears for durability.
The suspension is implemented using shock absorbers that absorb unevenness during driving.
Traxxas servo 2065 digital nano servo with DC motor and nylon gears. The servo has a torque of 2.5 kg.cm and a speed of 0.20 s/60°@ 6.0 V. For water resistance*, the servo box is fitted with a seal.
The model is powered by a powerful 370 series DC motor with 23 turns.
A waterproof* LaTrax DC regulator is installed in the model. The regulator provides sensitive fully proportional motor operation. In electronics, modern MOSFET transistors with high efficiency and low losses are used for perfect performance. Power supply 6 cells NiMH or 2 cells LiPol.
3 driving modes can be set on the controller:
The three-channel Latrax 2.4 GHz receiver ensures safe driving without interruptions. Easy pairing with one button. Status indication by means of an LED diode.
The model is controlled by a two-channel proportional steering wheel RC kit LaTrax TQ in the 2.4 GHz band - operation without interference. The transmitter is powered by only 4 AA cells, optionally you can also use rechargeable NiMH batteries.
There is a rotary knob on the transmitter that trims the wheel steering (i.e. to make the model go straight if the steering wheel is in the center position). The status of the batteries in the transmitter is indicated by an LED. The transmitter can be set to reverse on the throttle and steering channel (if you would like to use the transmitter to control other models).
* Refer to the user manual for information on the water resistance specification. You can find tips and tricks for wet driving in the blog.
For commissioning, it is necessary to add a charger for the included drive battery.
To extend the driving time, we recommend purchasing an additional battery. For normal riding and for children, we recommend buying one more NiMH battery.
For normal operation of the Traxxas RC car, you need bolt glue, good quality tire glue, silicone shock oil and a set of screwdrivers. We recommend an affordable set of tools for cars from our range.
The thread or head of the screw is dripped with screw glue, which fixes it and the vibrations caused by driving prevent the screw joint from loosening. The screw adhesive has a special composition that allows the screw connection to be easily loosened with an adequate torque without damaging the screw head. Never use ordinary instant glue, it might be impossible to loosen a screw stuck like this!
Tire glue is used to glue the tires to the disc rim. It is always necessary that the tire is firmly stuck to the wheel rim all the way around! If the tire is not glued all the way around, it may tear. Tire glue has a special composition that is able to glue materials such as rubber or nylon, and at the same time, after hardening, the glue is flexible. Never use ordinary instant glue - it is not flexible after hardening and cracks would gradually form in the tire around the rims!
Sometimes it is necessary to add silicone oil to the dampers of the model. During normal operation, there are only slight leaks of silicone oil on the piston rods of the shock absorber. In the event that the surface of the damper pistons or the condition of the seals is in poor condition, the oil leakage may be large. For these cases, so-called repair kits are supplied. In the range of tuning parts, piston rods with an extremely hard TiN (titanium nitride) coating are delivered to all shock absorbers. Piston rods with a TiN surface are easily recognized by their golden-green color.
