The RTR market is about to be turned upside-down as JQ has once again stepped up the game by releasing the all-new JQ RTR version of THECar. Although RTR, this car is still race ready, and proven to be capable of winning races right out of the box.
JQ Products Press Release:
JQ Products are pleased to announce the release of THECar in RTR (Ready to Race) form!
We wanted to create a new standard of performance for 1:8th RTR Buggies. By clever design and production arrangements, we have been able to keep the specification of this vehicle high, and as close to the Pro version as possible. The servos and engine have been chosen based on their performance as well as their affordability. We wanted to make sure that the servos are strong and fast enough to be able to control the car, in a similar fashion to actual race cars with top of the line servos. Many RTRs have so slow and weak servos, that they are hard to drive for even experienced racers. This is not the case with this RTR, as the Savöx servos are strong and fast enough for the task. The engine is a standard pullstart RTR unit, and it has more than enough power for this super lightweight RTR, that only weights 3300g. The street price is expected to land at €399 in Europe, and $399 in usd markets, and it should be available worldwide in August.
