Introducing: J-SPEC
J-SPEC is an electric off-road R/C racing class that
combines low cost and high durability with a refreshing touch of realism
to bring back a level of good, clean fun that the hobby has not seen in
years.
J-SPEC racing vehicles are designed to mimic the form
and function of the increasingly popular rally cars that compete
in such high-profile venues as the World Rally Championship. J-SPEC
cars run on existing offroad tracks with great pleasure and can easily
be built for under $300, ready to run including radio, motor,
electronic speed control (ESC), charger, and four battery packs!
