It is typically powered by a .21 to .26 size Nitro gas RC engine that delivers about 2 to 3 hp and races the buggy at around an unbelievable 40 mph. It comes equipped with a bunch features specific to its rough, tough, and dirty racing conditions.

As it needs to handle slippery and sandy tracks, the Gas RC Buggy comes equipped with four-wheel drive and spiked rubber tires for easy grip on loose soils. As it is expected to jump off small cliffs and sand dunes, it is built with sturdy, bulky, oil-filled shock absorbers.
