    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.

    JLB Racing CHEETAH 1/10 Brushless RC Car Monster Truck 21101 RTR

     

     

     

     

    Been looking at that a while, they also make the truggy and vkar is the original selectfour. Tbf the Helion looks to have the best elec's and nicest shell imo. Germans don't seem to rate them.

    The jlb does look to share a few bits to the Helion but the chassis are totally different

    Interesting read up this, I'd be interested in seeing, side by side, a comparison with the amewi and the improved helion parts.

    Sorry chaps, haven't had this out for a wee while.....

     

    We stripped the spur during excessive lunacy in the carpark, it is replaced, other things have got in the way I'm afraid.

    Is there not much love for this? Most videos on YouTube are from Helion themselves. Still think they've overpriced it.

    FP haven't sold any, possibly down to the price?

     

    Couple that with no spares support, makes for poor sales.....

     

    Helion must try harder!

    I'm not surprised tbh. With their sensibly priced dominus and invictus models they've been silly with this especially as most of it is a rebadge.

    It baffles me how brands make a model and then have no parts... Just make a couple extra and strip them :lol:

    I like the idea of a truggy again, but not at £299... Shame really as the Invictus seemed a very popular model.. Even Jang spoke highly of it!

    Thought I'd see if anymore bids on it and only ones are from Helion explaining how to change the servo or a bumper? Trying to increase YouTube exposure maybe?

    Drop the silly price tag add some much needed support and I'm sure there sell but at there current price and lack of  support it's no wonder there stuck on shelves ! 

     

    Lets face it even the Losi ten MT isn't cheap but it's cheaper than this has bettter parts support and is a much more established brand .. There both aimed at the same audience IMO so if Helion wants to compete it needs to get its act together ..

    I'd imagine, with it being a rebrand, that there hands are tied somewhat.  That said there must be a huge mark-up on them so it's anyone's guess why they've not tried to get some traction with it.

    I bumped into a chap in Laughton woods last weekend whilst taking my select four10 sc out funnily enough and he had one of these. Running on 3s it was a wheelie machine! I had a quick look over it and it looked well put together just like my sc. I asked if he'd had any issues or breakages and the only thing he had broken was a few lower arms. But like my helion had to loctite a few of the screws down. The styling on the truggy ain't to my taste which I think is one of the reasons it's struggling. By all accounts its a good little rig just not grabbing peoples attention enough coupled with the pricre tag. The short course is 100 quid less and although maybe not as rugged is probably better value for money.

    Indeed and some variants of the bison are also discontinued.
