DuraTrax® DX450 - Car of the Year

DX450 named 2010's "Car of the Year"

1/5 scale size — sometimes, “bigger is better", and this is one of them. The DX450's dimensions are impressive, making it easier for you to track and hard for other people to miss. But be prepared: once they get a closer look, they'll want a chance to drive it, too.

Tough enough to go anywhere. — Street racing? Yeah, the DX450 can do that. But it doesn't just look like a motocross bike; it's tough enough to be one, too. The chassis is black-anodized aluminum. It has dual, long-travel coil-spring front shocks and a high-volume, oil-filled rear shock. The tires are real rubber, the tread is off-road aggressive and the drive is a real metal chain — just like the full-size bikes. And here's the kicker: a 1-year replacement guarantee on all Stress-Tech™ plastic parts. Break one, and the replacement is f-r-e-e free!

It's easy enough for anyone to drive — No experience? No problem. A gyro in the rear wheel keeps it balanced (even at low speeds!) and brings it upright after you lean into a turn. Result: you can keep it slow while you learn, and you learn faster because you can concentrate on driving, not balancing.

Brushless power (and speeds!) — If brushed motors are all you know, the brushless DX450 is going to take your breath away. The 3800kV motor and 75A ESC make it come off the line like a rocket. It's fast, it's powerful and it's virtually maintenance-free.

Cutting-edge control — That kind of power requires absolute control and the DX450 delivers it with a Tactic™ 2.4GHz radio system. Turn it on, and the receiver is locked to your transmitter's signal — and yours alone. That unique, unbreakable 1-to-1 link makes it super dependable — and lets you run the DX450 anytime, without waiting or worries.

Already ready for action — Open the box and you're just minutes away from your first ride. All you need to do is assemble the rider and charge a battery — everything else is built, painted and provided.
