Helion Animus 18TR

The second Animus platform derivative (after the Animus 18SC), the 18TR continues the next generation of 1/18th scale performance with an unprecedented set of features and value. The premise behind the Animus is to offer something revolutionary: value AND performance. Helion R/C design engineers optimized the Animus platform for the latest generation of bashers and enthusiasts.

As with its sister 18SC, the use of gear differentials and a robust shaft based, ball bearing supported, gear drivetrain reduces maintenance requirements, improves efficiency and performance without compromising value. With the advent and inclusion of crystal-less 2.4 GHz radio technology in the Animus, R/C bashers and enthusiasts can enjoy using their cars alongside one another instead of worrying about changing or having to buy extra crystals. With a 370 sized brushed motor and high performance 1,100 mAh NiMH battery included, the Animus 18TR is equipped to not disappoint with speeds topping 20mph!

Enjoying the Helion RC product line is also now easier than ever as it and you are fully supported and backed by HobbyTown USA®!
