Vaterra RC Kemora

You grab the transmitter and pull the trigger. The Kemora rallycross car leaps forward like a shot as its brushless-powered, four-wheel drive sends dirt flying. Racing toward the street, you can see, and feel, the four-wheel independent suspension deftly absorbing any humps or bumps. The pavement closes in. You give the wheel a sharp left, break the rear wheels loose and countersteer right to hold the drift. Gravel spec, rubber tires give a satisfying chirp as you slide onto the street and they grip the pavement. Another stab of the throttle and youre off again. This is the total RC rallycross experience. This is the Kemora rallycross car.
