Arrma is know for thier super tough cars that can take a beating and in the end, perform! The Arrma Raider is a long time proven platform for a 2wd desert buggy. The Arrma Raider XL version, as seen in the video extends the chassis a bit to an 1/8th scale version to make it a bit more stable at speed and a bit larger than it's little brother (The 1/10th scale Raider) The BLX badging adds some Arrma Speed with a 3600kv 4pole Brushless Motor and Speed Control in between the aluminum TVP (Twin Vertical Plate) chassis.
