Ready to run kits can be found of four different levels

319€ - Mega - Granite, Senton, Typhon

369€ - Mega Lipo - Granite, Senton, Typhon

499€ - BLX 2s - Granite, Senton, Big rock, Typhon ja Vorteks (539€)

519€ - BLX 3s - Granite, Senton, Big rock, Typhon ja Vorteks (559€)

-Mega series is for someone who wants to get going at an affordable price. With this 279€ kit you will get the car and the transmitter as well as a basic charger with a 3300mAh NiMh battery. The stock battery takes 4-5 hours to fully charge and lasts around 10-15 minutes of driving with the 100% power setting.

-Mega series LiPo is for someone who wants to get going at an affordable price but have slightly more time driving and use less time for charging. With this 339€ kit you will get the car and the transmitter as well as a proper smart charger with a 5000mAh LiPo battery. The LiPo battery takes about an hour to fully charge and lasts around 15-25 minutes of driving with the 100% power setting.

-BLX 2s series is probably the best starting point for someone looking for the most reliable, durable and functional car. The BLX series has better brushless electronics, better steering servo, stronger drivetrain, tunable upper arms and other small improvements over the Mega series. The biggest difference to the Mega series are the brushless electronics. The benefits of the brushless electronics are:
- Considerably more power
- Notably higher efficiency
- Much better reliability

The brushless electronics are the better option all around but they do come at a higher price point as the BLX 2s series kit comes at 449€. The Mega series models can all be updated with these better components but if you are thinking about updating to these in the future its the best and the cheapest to go to a BLX series model straight away.

A common question regarding the BLX series models is, isn't it better to start with a less powerful Mega series car? We actually think it is not. The fact that the BLX series cars are more powerful is not an issue. The cars have a stepless adjustment of the power level and if you choose to reduce the power level you will have a much longer driving time. This way you can match a lower power level of the Mega series models and get an even better driving time due to the better efficiency of the brushless motor. Then on out you can increase the power level to what you feel comfortable with once you learn how to control the car as you get more experience driving.

With the BLX 2s series models the battery takes about an hour to fully charge and lasts around 15-25 minutes of driving with the 100% power setting.

-BLX 3s series is the same kit as the BLX 2s series but with a more powerful battery. The BLX 3s series models come with a 3s battery that offers up to 50% more power! As with the 2s batteries the BLX series model goes around 60 km/h. With the 3s batteries however the car goes over 80 km/h and with a longer gear ratio around 100 km/h! If you are looking for the most power and insane performance this kit is made for you!

What is the difference between the models?

Granite - Granite is the most popular model of the series, a monster truck with large tires. With the power of the BLX brushless electronics you can pull nice wheelies, do flips over big jumps and have a lot of airtime. This car is for you if you want to jump high, do crazy tricks and go over rough terrain.
