    Helion Select Four 10TR 4WD Brushless Truggy

    actionshot.jpg

    Seasoned Truggy owners have learned what it is that makes the perfect blend of truck and buggy. At Helion, our design engineers have solicited customer input, listened to your wishes, and made it their personal goal to produce an off-road 4WD vehicle that takes excellence to a whole new level. Enter the Select Four 10TR, a truggy that turns your wish list into reality with its size, speed, and strength.

    Take a tour of the Four 10TR and immediately you’ll see where our development team has spent its time. The vehicle’s size is the first thing you’ll notice: 1/10 scale it may be, but with stretched suspension arms and aggressive XL wheels and tires, not only does it look more like a 1/8 platform, it drives like one, too. Add the benefit of four-wheel independent suspension, fully adjustable, oil-filled, big-bore, threaded aluminum shocks, and this, you’ll find, is a vehicle that’ll treat terrain with total contempt and surpass your highest expectations of handling.

    Who doesn’t like speed? Truggy drivers thrive on it, so when you told us you wanted more, we listened, we engineered, and we gave you a powertrain with the punch to put you firmly in the lead. Supplied with a premium 2850KV 4-pole brushless motor, a massive 120A ESC and up to 4S LiPo compatibility, speed and torque is not something the Four 10TR lacks. Accelerating to a blistering 35+mph, this one threatens to take your breath away. In fact, it’s so quick off the mark, we’ve added a wheelie bar to aid traction and keep you firmly in control.

    We’ve delivered size and speed, but you also wanted a truggy with uncompromising strength; the ability to take a bashing and bounce back for more. The answer is in the use of an engineering-grade composite construction that, coupled with anodized aluminum bulkheads, wheel hexes, shock towers and steering hubs, provides incredible strength, delivers outstanding power, and looks a million dollars!

    But, as you’ve come to expect from Helion, there’s much more to the 10TR than this. We’ve tweaked and tuned at every stage of development, adding a full complement of rubber-sealed ball bearings, heavy-duty steel drive shafts, 17mm wheel hexes and, to top it all, the new IKONNIK Xenon ET4 radio system. This advanced 4-channel 2.4GHz transmitter has a Beginner Mode, 10-Model Memory with drop-down wheel, adjustable grips, and left- or right-handed operation.

    The Four 10TR — Built with passion. Driven with pride.

    ET4 2.4GHz Radio System

    The included new advanced IKONNIK Xenon ET4 2.4GHz radio system has Beginner Mode, 10 Model Memory with drop-down wheel, adjustable grips and left- or right-handed operation together with easy-pairing to other Xenon equipped vehicles in the Helion range.

    Speed

    Supplied with the premium 3500kV Radient Reaktor4T brushless motor and 60T ESC, the FOUR 10TR accelerates to a tire-scorchingly quick 55+ mph with the recommended 3S LiPo installed. It’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Our exclusive Total System Protection (TSP) offers bullet-proof temperature and current protection for both the motor and ESC. Just drive how you want – we’ve got you covered.

    Strength

    Using engineering grade composites with a modular chassis design offers incredible strength but refreshing practicality. Easily remove the front and rear suspension in minutes for maintenance and tuning. Metal gear differentials combined with aluminium bulkheads, wheel hexes, shock towers, steering hubs and more get the power to the ground and keep you running.

    Appearance

    Those champagne anodized aluminium parts not only add the durability you need but the look amazing and pair perfectly with the three striking body schemes available – Cobalt, Emerald and Lava – each working perfectly with the authentic wheels and high-traction tires with detailed white lettering.

    I honestly wouldn't stock anything that I thought won't have spares available for a very long time.  

     

    I'll get all the truggy parts listed asap so you can see parts prices too.

    I know they're called 'speed bumps' but most people slow down for them, not speed up!!

    Nice job of containing the power in the confined space.

    The constant wheeling would bug the hell out of me.

    Go up a tooth or two on the pinny and/or turn the punch down?

    We've not looked at any of the Esc settings. Let's be honest here, the average punter buys and runs as is, so we wanted to do the same to see what your money buys.

     

    I'm with you on the wheelies Stretch, was a right larf this avo, however, long term, it would get tedious.

     

    Re pricing, if you take the 350 price point and split the truck down, there's 120 or so in the combo and servo, 45 in the radio gear meaning the truck itself costs around 140 quid, which is not much. As no roller is offered the point is moot of course, but worth a mention. ;)

     

    It has been driven hard on concrete for four packs now, shell is intact, tyres barely worn, front bumper, body mounts and rear wing are rather scuffed, as are the skids. Everything else has this far proven tough, very tough...I've had lesser collisions with stock Traxxas parts in the past and broken them.....

     

    It is what it is, and we both really like the truck itself ;)

    Not had a temp gun on it, however, the can feels a touch warmer than I'd like....saying that, it was driven like it was stolen, constant full throttle tomfoolery, but, it needs testing, innit! :lol:

     

    Having driven it on 3s, unless the power delivery can be tamed, 4s could just be a touch uncontrollable. 

     

    The Esc on the Select SC does work with a Hobbywing program box (the basic one) although not all parameters are adjustable. Will stick this Esc on the box and see what happens.

     

    Could do with a skatepark visit, guaranteed to get decent air.

    Be hard to keep the front end down on 4s without a punch adjustment :@.@:

    If it'll run 4S, then you simply must get Nigel to run it on 4S! But in a bigger area!

    Perhaps 50K in the CD will help tame the wheelies? And lead to some front wheel ballooning hilarity!
