RIPPER 1/18 kit 2.4GHz, Blue

The RGT Ripper (18800) is a high-performance expedition rock crawler model in 1/18 scale, delivered in a Ready-To-Run (RTR) configuration. The model was developed with a focus on a low center of gravity (LCG) and maximum terrain permeability. The chassis is based on a specifically shaped "skid-style" frame with a 5° skid plate angle for smooth overcoming of edges and obstacles.

The chassis uses a V-type eight-link suspension and a two-speed transmission with a low mount. The weight distribution is optimized in a ratio of approximately 60% on the front and 40% on the rear axle, which increases the resistance to overturning when climbing. The use of portal axles with a reduction gear at the wheels increases ground clearance and at the same time reduces mechanical stress on the central gearbox.

The drive is provided by the Hobbywing WP-MINI24-RTR brushless system. The motor is characterized by high torque at low speeds, smooth running and quiet operation. The controller (ESC) allows you to adjust the brake force in neutral (drag brake) in eight stages and has protection against battery undervoltage, overheating and signal loss. The system is compatible with 2S and 3S LiPo batteries.

The mechanical components are designed for high durability. The transmission contains exclusively metal gears and shafts made of hardened #45 steel. Suspension is provided by oil shock absorbers with extra soft springs. The model achieves approach angles exceeding 90° and a transition angle of over 50°, making it a highly effective tool for technical climbing.
