In the long and distinguished history of 1/10 EP (electric) R/C racing buggies, there are two types based on different drive systems. Rear 2WD models are typically easier to assemble and maintain and exhibit nimble driving characteristics; and then there are the equally popular 4WD models, which use drive force to all four wheels for superior traction on low-grip roads compared to 2WD. For drivers considering a step up from entry-level models, we are proud to introduce the Lazer SB Dirt Cross 4WD, which is a cost-optimized version of the competition-level ZX-5 that has continued to evolve performance and control as the cutting-edge of Kyosho’s worldwide 4WD EP buggy racing campaigns. While the suspension and driven system are retained from the proven Lazer ZX-5, the Dirt Cross does much more than reduce costs; it is designed to appeal to a new generation of R/C racers. While retaining its basic shape, the main chassis has been updated and optimized for the latest battery and motor systems. However, the body has been completely redesigned with a rear positioned cabin (instead of the usual forward-cabin of racing models), driver figure, and newly developed spoke wheels for a classic retro buggy style. As the Dirt Cross is based on a purebred race model, performance is guaranteed. Combining the most comprehensive fit out at a great value price, all the fun and performance off-road R/C has to deliver is perfectly optimized into this mid-range 4WD buggy.
