The SCY The Link Vintage 1/16 4WD Brushless RTR Extreme Off-Road Truck is a compact, high-performance bashing truck featuring a brushless motor, full-time 4WD, and waterproof electronics. This RC off-road high-speed truck reaches speeds up to 30 mph on rough terrain, with independent suspension, oil-filled shocks, and functional LED lights. Its vintage styling and included battery make it a choice for hobbyists interested in remote control off-road trucks for backyard bashing or light trail running.

Performance

The brushless motor paired with a 25A ESC delivers strong acceleration and top speeds up to 30 mph on dirt, grass, or pavement. Full-time 4WD and high-grip tires provide excellent traction on various surfaces. Independent suspension with oil-filled shocks absorbs bumps and small jumps well for the scale. Runtime averages 20–25 minutes on the included battery, with efficient power delivery for extended play sessions.

Build Quality

Reinforced plastic chassis with metal drive shafts and sealed ball bearings offers solid durability for casual bashing. The polycarbonate body is flexible enough to survive crashes. Fully waterproof electronics (ESC, motor, receiver) allow operation in wet conditions or shallow water. Users report good overall toughness for the scale, though plastic wheel hexes can wear with aggressive use (metal upgrades available).

Control

The 2.4GHz transmitter provides proportional steering and throttle with ~80 m range. Response is smooth with minimal lag—ideal for backyard maneuvers. Steering trim is adjustable. Transmitter requires 4×AA batteries (not included).

Design and Features

Vintage off-road styling with detailed body graphics and functional LED headlights/taillights for visibility. Quick-release body clips for fast battery access. The truck arrives fully factory-assembled and tuned. The included battery and USB charger provide convenient operation.

Special Notes: This is a Ready-to-Run model, fully assembled with the truck, 2.4GHz transmitter, rechargeable battery, and USB charger included. Transmitter requires 4×AA batteries (not included). Suitable for beginners and intermediate users seeking compact brushless off-road performance.
