The Conquest 10MT XB Story

Complexity and sophistication is common in the RC world, but sometimes all you really want is a vehicle that offers core Monster Truck qualities. A sturdy RC off-roader that provides the speed and excitement you desire, the durability to take the rough with the smooth and the handling to keep you in control over all manner of uncompromising terrain.

If you’re new to RC bashing, you might also want something that’s easy to maintain and upgrade as your skills increase. The Conquest 10MT XB is just such a truck. It is, in short, a 2WD, all-weather, all-terrain, all-rounder that’s as happy backyard bashing as it is leaping off ramps, scorching through scree, or performing rubber-burning wheelies. Not until you take a closer look will you appreciate the finer points of the rigid, workmanlike, composite chassis, the robust independent suspension and oil-filled, coil-over shocks, the fully enclosed spur gear housing that hides an adjustable slipper clutch, the authentic high-grip, long-wear, V-tread tires and the durable high-torque servo.

But there’s more! Easy to access electronic components make maintenance simple and keep upgrade options varied, while a Helion 2000mAh 7.2V rechargeable NiMH battery offers sensible run times. It’s what you might call a ‘total’ solution, not least because it’s supported by a high performance 550 brushed motor, Helion 40 amp ESC and IKONNIK’s ET-3 radio, with rock-solid Krypton 2.4GHz protocol. That’s quite a package and at a price you can’t afford to ignore.

The Conquest 10MT XLR Story

Finding a brushless Monster Truck that delivers on power, strength and performance, yet still offers amazing value, can be quite a challenge. The very fact that you’re reading this, however, means you’ve found it.

The Conquest 10MT XLR is just such a truck. It is, in short, a 2WD, all-weather, all-terrain, all-rounder that’s as happy backyard bashing as it is leaping off ramps, scorching through scree, or performing long rubber-burning wheelies. Not until you take a closer look will you appreciate the finer points of the rigid, workmanlike, composite chassis, the robust independent suspension and oil-filled, coil-over shocks, the fully enclosed spur gear housing that hides an adjustable slipper clutch, the authentic high-grip, long-wear, V-tread tires and the durable high torque servo.

But that’s not the whole story. Like all top-end RC trucks we’ve made a point of providing stand-alone electronic components to keep maintenance simple and cost effective, we’ve also thrown in a Helion 2000mAh 7.2V rechargeable NiMH battery and, as if that’s not enough, it’s all supported by a high performance 3625 3300Kv brushless motor, Helion 50 amp ESC and IKONNIK’s ET-3 radio with rock-solid Krypton 2.4GHz protocol. That’s quite a package and at such an attractive price you can relax and drive it like you stole it… Which, to be fair, you almost did.

The Rock Rider Story

Helion Rock Rider + unrelenting terrain = ultimate challenge + massive fun. It’s what physicists, chemists and RC dudes call a perfectly balanced equation – a balance you’ll only fully appreciate when you get behind the wheel of the Rock Rider. This is a car that takes the skillful yet pedestrian art of rock crawling and gives it beans. And plenty of ‘em!

Pop the clips, lift the body, and beneath you’ll find a purpose designed 4WD powertrain and chassis that’s been thoroughly tested in the full range of off-road conditions and given a qualified seal of approval by Helion test drivers. Here, a mix of high-strength composites, a rugged high-performance 540 motor, all-weather ESC, plus a proven transmission and suspension system, combine to offer traction, speed, and stability when you most need it. The fact is, we’ve given the Rock Rider an impressive arsenal of carefully considered mechanical weaponry, starting with a solid, 6-link rear axle that offers almost limitless tuning options. Heavy-duty front and rear differentials add to the mix, whilst corner-to-corner aluminum threaded shocks provide easy pre-load adjustment, smooth movement, and consistent handling. Topped with an independent front suspension system and high-grip all-weather tires for ultimate off-road traction, there’s much to admire. With hex bolts throughout, a fully protected spur gear housing and a shock-absorbing sprung servo saver, we’ve made low maintenance a priority, too.

A take-anywhere trail-blazer, mud bogger, hill climber and dust blaster, the Rock Rider is the perfect all-terrain all-rounder for back yard or back country driving.

Metric Power System

As you’ll be wanting to run your Rock Rider over all manner of surfaces, we’ve equipped it with a high-performance 21-turn 550-size brushed motor and 40A all-weather ESC. This way, at least, you can be assured of reliable power no matter when or where you drive it.

1800mAh Battery and AC Charger

The Helion 1800mAh 6-cell rechargeable NiMH battery pack and included charger get you going right out of the box and deliver power enough for long run times and a dirt-kicking performance.
