he Hobby Hideaway Verdict: A Fearless Feline-Fighter! The wolf returns with a hint of a "bad guy" smile in the Lupine Racer 2! At Hobby Hideaway, we love the aggressive attitude of this kit. Combining the legendary Thunder Shot open-top body with a pre-assembled, sharp-eyed arctic wolf driver, this model is built for those who want their racer to look as fierce as it performs. The deep red chassis paired with fluorescent orange wheels makes it impossible to miss on the track.
Aerodynamic Mastery on the AR Chassis The AR (Aero Racing) Chassis is a favorite among technical racers for its incredible durability and smart cooling. Its aerodynamic design channels air directly over the batteries and motor, preventing heat-related power loss during long, high-speed runs. With its bottom-loading battery bay and removable underpanel/diffuser, you can perform maintenance and setup changes without ever having to unclip the body—a massive advantage in the pits.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
Wolf Driver 2.0: Includes a pre-painted, newly styled white arctic wolf figure that adds a unique, fearless personality to your machine.
Tough Polycarbonate-ABS Chassis: The AR chassis is molded in a striking Red polycarbonate-ABS for extra rigidity, paired with Black low-friction POM A-parts.
Thunder Shot Heritage: Features the fan-favorite open-top Thunder Shot body molded in Dark Blue, optimized for low drag and maximum airflow.
High-Contrast Rolling Stock: Fluorescent Orange 5-spoke wheels paired with Hard Large-Diameter Slick Tires in Dark Blue for high top speeds and reduced bounce.
Integrated Cooling: Chassis and body air intakes work together to keep the Type 130 motor running at peak performance.
