At the Sharp End

This R/C model assembly kit is a re-released and updated version of the Super Sabre, a beginner-friendly buggy released in 1987. It is based upon a bathtub frame chassis with 4WD and CVA oil dampers: a recipe for off-road success enhanced by gripps hybrid tyres. The aerodynamic polycarbonate body is pre-painted and pre-cut, and really looks the part on this speedy model.

Capable Off-Road Chassis

This shaft-driven 4WD chassis has a midship motor and sealed front and rear gearboxes, each containing a differential gear for smooth cornering. It is broken down into three easily-maintained sections: bathtub frame and gearboxes, and features short CVA oil dampers on the double-wishbone suspension, plus a front stabiliser to combat roll. Oval block/pin spike hybrid tyres deliver superb grip, and together with the efficient 4WD make the Super Sabre right at home off-road.
