8.5/ 10

Gavler Meta-Score

Discontinued — Horizon Hobby has retired this 1/10 brushed Ruckus RTR, so it is no longer available new; the page is kept for reference and existing owners. When it was on sale it was the easiest way into RC monster trucking: everything in the box, everything waterproof, everything working. New buyers should look at a current entry-level RTR.
