What’s it like to drive a 600 hp Ford Fiesta rallycross car? Think of punching the gas pedal as pulling a trigger. A controlled explosion compounded by 45 psi of turbo boost blasts through its 2.0 liter engine, hurling you from a dead stop to 60 mph in just two neck-snapping seconds. Keep the pedal pinned to the floor and you’ll be doing about 130 mph seven seconds later. Now, imagine trying to pilot one of these snarling little beasts around a serpentine track with lots of dirt, lots of jumps and very little grip and you’ve got a good idea why rallycross is one of the most exciting motorsports on the planet.

This authentic recreation of the Rockstar Ford Fiesta combines a proven 4WD chassis with the punch of a Dynamite® brushless power system that can catapult it to 55+ mph in the blink of an eye. Helping you harness this explosive acceleration is Spektrum AVC™ (Active Vehicle Control™) technology that makes hundreds of steering and throttle corrections per second so you can go faster, on-road or off, without ever holding back. No other 1/10-scale rallycross car at any price delivers so much realism and performance, right out of the box.

The SRS4200 combines patent-pending AVC (Active Vehicle Control™) technology with the superb range and signal security of a DSMR™ receiver. AVC technology gives you the freedom to hammer the throttle on slick or bumpy surfaces that would make other brushless rally cars almost impossible to control.

The innovative VTV differentials prevent wheel spin on loose surfaces when cornering hard or punching the throttle. Their smooth engagement and consistent feel, along with AVC technology, will give you confidence to run fast on all types of surfaces.

Revel in the power of a potent Dynamite 3300Kv, 4-pole brushless motor system that delivers massive torque and speeds of over 55+ mph.*

*Requires Dynamite® Reaction® Series 11.1V 5000mAh 3S 30C Li-Po Hardcase: EC3 (DYN9007EC) battery, sold separately.

The body is modeled after the 600 hp, Olsbergs MSE Ford Fiestas that dominate Global Rallycross competition. It includes details like side view mirrors, an accurately modeled racing wing and official badging.

The car comes with a waterproof receiver, servo and speed control that can handle whatever the road throws your way.

*Details on waterproof standards can be found in the instruction manual.

In addition to the superb range and signal security of DSMR technology, the DX2E gives you the ability to adjust the amount of AVC stabilization on the fly. Because it’s compatible with any Spektrum surface receiver, you can use it with other 2-channel vehicles as well.
