Funco VXL 8S RWD Sand Car 1/6 RTR - Red

Introducing the breathtaking Traxxas Funco VXL, a dune buggy that reaches speeds of over 55 miles per hour, offering you the ultimate driving experience on loose, sandy terrain. Designed as an accurate replica of the Funco Motorsports dune buggy, this RC car provides both the aesthetics and the powerful performance of its real-life counterpart. Whether tearing through sand dunes or speeding over flat terrain, the Funco VXL is built to impress.

Overview

As the king of the dunes, this Traxxas Funco Sand Car embodies the extreme thrill of driving a desert buggy with over 1000 horsepower. With a completely redesigned chassis featuring an extra-low center of gravity, the Traxxas Funco VXL brings the dynamics of a real dune buggy into your hands. The new belted sand paddle tires and an innovative RWD drive system guarantee impressive performance on any surface.

The front wheels are equipped with real functional disc brakes, where brake pads pressed onto the ventilated brake discs by a separate servo via a steel cable offer super controllable and powerful braking performance.

The steering servo is fitted with metal gears, making it strong enough for use in loose sand. The special new belted tires are optimized for use in sand, with paddles at the rear that efficiently transmit the motor's power, and front tires designed not to dig in but still offer surprisingly good grip on harder surfaces.

With 8S power combined with paddle tires, this Funco is a real wheelie monster. Thankfully, with the wheelie bar, these are well under control. Who can drive the longest on their rear wheels?

Traxxas has translated both the looks and the driving behavior of the real Funco into this extra-large remote-controlled car, from the detailed driver’s cabin with dashboard to the replica engine with realistic details such as R2C air filters and a Whipple supercharger. The color-matched whip lights and a robust frame that's ready for rollovers ensure that this RC car performs as well as it looks.
