The wheelbase is 275mm (10.83in) and puts the sizable tires close to the corners of the truck to promote better handling and high-speed stability. The Helion Invictus 10MT dimensions are 422mm (16.61in) long, 196mm (7.72in) tall and 337mm (13.27in) wide. The standard 8.58:1 internal gear ratio meant nothing to me before getting it outdoors where the Helion Invictus 10MT displayed a surprising load of speed right out of the box. The Helion Invictus 10MT comes with a 3000 kV Radient Reaktor 4 Pole Brushless, Sensorless motor and a 50A programmable, 3s LiPo -compatible ESC. After seeing what kind of run time the 2600mAh packs produce I can adjust the battery size as needed by my fledgling go-fast ego. I set aside the included 1,800 mAh 9.6V 8 Cell NiMH pack and went to a couple 11.1V LiPo packs with 2600 mAh I had. One of the things I liked about the Helion Invictus 10MT is its compatibility with 3S LiPo battery packs for which I already had a great charger, the iCharger 306B with a 500-watt power supply. All I had to come up with was 4 ‘AA’ batteries to power the transmitter. The Helion Invictus 10MT RTR (Ready to Run) Monster Truck comes 100% factory-assembled and includes a 3-channel, 2.4GHz Ikonnik steering wheel radio, an 8-Cell 9.6V NiMH battery pack, AC charger and multi-purpose wrench. I knew that I wanted to start with a mid-level car/truck and preferably a factory assembled one to hasten the first adrenalin fix.
And so my RC four-wheel adventure begins. One of the attractive aspects of the cars and trucks is that I can run them in my yard when I can’t get to the flying field. I also noted that the car/truck segment of the RC world had experienced dramatic advancements in technology and performance similar to RC flying. However, whenever I visited my favorite local hobby shop, Anderson RC (Thomasville, NC) I noticed the huge amount of floor space and inventory they devoted to RC cars and trucks. I have to admit that like many of you my RC world was centered primarily on aircraft. I like to do real world reviews and thrashing the Helion Invictus 10MT before starting the documenting seemed to fit that process. Note: The Helion Invictus 10MT in the photos and video is dirty because my will power failed me and we went playing before doing the photography. Helion Invictus 10MT Ground-thumping performance and durability It turns out that RC car/trucks have come a long way since I last messed with them
