FTX Tracer / HPI Blackzon Slyder TRUCK 4WD 1:16 Ready To Run RC Car with Battery and Charger (Body Style as selected from options)
THIS IS A COMPLETE PACKAGE: You will receive a ready built car, handset, battery and charger. You just need to get batteries to put in the handset, all the cars we sell use AA (or very occasionally AAA) batteries.
Note: This is a teens or adults model, it is not a toy and is not suitable for children. THIS IS THE NEW 1:16 FOUR WHEEL DRIVE VERSION. All our models are UK supplied with UKCA / CE markings and UK warranties. Beware similar models that are not specifically Blackzon or FTX as these models are made under different brand names for different markets - only Blackzon and FTX branded models come with a comprehensive UK warranty covering all the electrical components on the model.
Model shown in video is the "Tracer Brushless" (which is the same as the Slyder Turbo) but all cars have basically the same structure and strength. Wheelie bar is only fitted to the "Tracer Brushless" model not the Slyder Turbo, hence the difference in price. Slyder Turbo and Tracer Brushless are the faster, upgraded models.
Product Description
FTX Tracer TRUGGY or MONSTER TRUCK 4WD 1:16 Ready To Run RC Car with Battery and Charger*
* Blackzon Slyder version is the same truck, same factory but with metallic body and wheel embellishments and branded for the HPI Blackzon brand rather than FTX. It is otherwise IDENTICAL to the long standing FTX version.
All models are quick. The new Slyder Turbo Brushless and Tracer Brushless models have high performance magnet induction motors and a larger 1000mah battery for a SUBSTANTIALLY higher top speed, plus on the Tracer Brushless even a wheelie bar to keep them on the road!
Get ready for some big r/c off road action from the pocket rocket Tracer series from FTX. The perfect entry into a world of r/c fun, the Tracer features coil sprung shock absorbers with moultiple mounting points, double wishbone suspension and front universal driveshafts for smooth suspension movement while steering through the ruff stuff. Shaft driven 4WD and with geared differentials front and rear provide traction in all conditions.
Powered by a 390 sized brushed motor and micro 700mAh 2S Li-Ion battery, the Tracer is fast and nimble....perfect for bashing, jumping and more! For those that are new to r/c cars we have included a speed switch to help dial the speed of the Tracer and make it more manageable for new drivers.
Fancy some dusk driving as the light fades? Just plug-in the supplied front LED bumper lights to light the way.
With a choice of two bodyshell colour schemes as well as two body styles, you can choose a Tracer Truggy or Truck - check the pictures and titles to get your choice! With 4 cars on the same platform you can even bash with friends and family!

Economy Delivery is generally using a point to point courier - typically DPD Homecall, Royal Mail Eco Bulk or Hermes Parcelnet. These services take 3 to 5 working days (not including weekends) to deliver. On some products we offer a choice of 1st Class post - this typically takes 1 to 2 days but is not a time guaranteed service. On all products we offer the choice of Express Courier - this will be DPD, Fedex or, in limited areas, Royal Mail Express, and aims for delivery the day after dispatch. Orders have to be placed by 9am for us to guarantee dispatch that day by Express. Express to Northern Ireland, Scottish Highlands, Channel Islands and all off-shore locations takes 2 working days. All non-Express orders are dispatched in order of receipt.
Combined Postage: Please use the ADD TO BASKET option to combine postage as we are unable to manually combine if you choose to make multiple payments. If you are buying more than one item, always use Add To Basket as clicking Buy It Now will result in eBay taking you straight to checkout without the option to add further items.

Returns: If your item is faulty (or appears to be) please contact us for advice, as most issues can be resolved without return or by exchanging components. In many cases, we find that items returned as faulty prove to be perfect and simply require adjustment or advice due to their complexity.

A free return service is provided only for faulty goods - in the event of non-faulty items being claimed as faulty in order to obtain a free return, a deduction as shown on our return label will be made from any refund.
