ECX ups the ante with the 1/12 Barrage Gen2 4WD 1.55 Scaler. Built to tackle the most terrifying of terrain this and version builds upon the original’s reputation and takes it to the next level.

The ECX® 1/12 Barrage® Gen2 4WD 1.55 Scaler crawler is built to tackle the most terrifying of terrain. This version builds upon the original Barrage scaler's impressive reputation with exclusive features at an amazing price. Perfect for the price conscious consumer looking to move into the growing scaler movement, this crawler can take on all challenges no matter your skill level. It uses a 1.55" wheel and licensed Falken Wildpeak M/T tires significantly refining the look of the body to wheel proportion. The Gen2 has axle housings that no longer require the wide wheel hex extensions. This strengthens the axles and provides more consistent steering. Larger servo mount and steering links allow for bigger servos while the Dynamite® Tazer™ 390 size motor runs cooler and with more torque. A true 4-link suspension with improved articulation and strength is a substantial upgrade. From the brand known for its rugged durability, this scaler is a great introduction to extreme driving through any ruthless environment including rocks, woods, mud and your neighborhood creek. Plus, you get all of this excitement without breaking your budget or your drivetrain.
