Introduction
Helion Rock Rider + unrelenting terrain = ultimate cha massive
fun. It’s what physicists, chemists and RC dudes call a perfectly balanced
equation – a balance you’ll only fully appreciate when you get behind the
wheel of the Rock Rider. This is a car that takes the skillful yet pedestrian
art of rock crawling and gives it beans. And plenty of ‘em!
Pop the clips, lift the body, and beneath you’ll find a purpose designed
4WD powertrain and chassis that’s been thoroughly tested in the full range
of off-road conditions and given a qualified seal of approval by Helion
test drivers. Here, a mix of high-strength composites, a rugged high-
performance 540 motor, all-weather ESC, plus a proven transmission and
suspension system, combine to offer traction, speed, and stability when you
most need it. The fact is, we’ve given the Rock Rider an impressive arsenal
of carefully considered mechanical weaponry, starting with a solid, 6-link
rear axle that offers almost limitless tuning options. Meanwhile, twin heavy-
duty differentials lie between corner-to-corner aluminum threaded shocks
that provide easy pre-load adjustment, smooth movement, and consistent
handling. Topped with an independent front suspension system and high-
grip all-weather tires for ultimate off-road traction, there’s much to admire.
With hex bolts throughout, a fully protected spur gear housing and a shock-
absorbing sprung servo saver, we’ve made low maintenance a priority, too.
A take-anywhere trail-blazer, mud bogger, hill climber and dust blaster, the
Rock Rider is the perfect all-terrain all-rounder for back yard or back country
driving.
