The
included
DX-Pro digital

and 10-model memory.

FEATURES
POWERPLANT. One big
change from the earlier MG10
line of trucks is the new
engine. A large 3.0cc motor
moves the truck along with
ease. It provides a very linear
power band, making the truck
more fun to drive. The power is
very controllable with the
shaft-driven 4WD system and
is transmitted through a beefy
drivetrain. There are no outdrive cups to wear down,
instead the dogbones are
inserted into a hex-shaped
output shaft from the differential. With the power of the
3.0cc engine, a well-designed
slipper clutch takes even more
stress off the drivetrain. With
the instant transfer of power
between the front and rear
(thanks to the shaft-driven system), I never had any problems
with gears, clutches, or spurs
stripping or failing. The drivetrain runs on full bearings
throughout. The engine is

mated to a 75cc tank, which
can provide up to 10 minutes
of driving time based on throttle control. The engine includes
a durable pull-start, and
exhaust flows through a composite pipe. The air filter is
already oiled and tucks neatly
to the side, out of harm’s way.
ELECTRONICS. The radio
included in the RTR package is
fantastic. Although it’s still an
AM 27MHz system, the Skyion
DX-Pro Digital Radio can
switch modules to accommodate different frequencies. Also,
you can program up to 10 different models with the transmitter, making it a great radio
for someone new to the hobby.
The truck was trimmed from
the factory and hardly needed
any tweaking to get running.
Digital trims, dual rates and
endpoints are just a few of the
radio’s features. Protecting the
receiver from harmful splashes
of water or mud is a sealed
radio box.
