It's built on Tamiya's beginner-oriented EZ chassis, which snaps together without cement or screws: the gears sit in the chassis frame with the motor mounted on top, and a cover snaps over them, with the chassis parts moulded in tinted, see-through plastic so the mechanism stays visible. A double-shaft motor drives all four wheels through a low 50:1 gear ratio, which trades speed for torque and keeps running speed manageable — useful for younger or first-time builders. Metallic-grey 5-spoke wheels are fitted with grippy off-road tires suited to steep slopes, and metallic stickers are included for the body.
