In terms of specifications, the RockSta measures 95mm in height, 130mm in width, and 187mm in length, with a wheelbase of 136mm and ground clearance of 28.2mm. Weighing at 274g (chassis only), it is compact yet packed with features that make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
For powering the RockSta, you’ll need two S size LiPo batteries (sold separately) and a transmitter powered by four AA-sized batteries.
