RC4WD TRAILFINDER 2 RTR WITH CHEVROLET BLAZER BODY SET MIDNIGHT EDITION Z-RTR0068

Overview

Ultimate scale is back, in black, with the sleek RC4WD Trail Finder 2 RTR with Chevrolet Blazer Body Set Midnight Edition.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD Trail Finder 2 RTR with Chevrolet Blazer Body Set Midnight Edition represents a serious investment in scale crawling performance and realism. Built around the proven Trail Finder 2 chassis, this 1/10 scale ready to run RC vehicle combines cutting-edge engineering with authentic automotive styling. The drivetrain is engineered for low-speed technical climbing rather than high-speed racing, with a final drive ratio of 31.9:1 that prioritises torque and control over raw speed. The R3 single speed transmission features a pinion/spur ratio of 14/64 (1:4.57) with an internal ratio of 1.78:1, paired with the Hammer transfer case at 1.47:1, working together to deliver the reduction needed for precise low-speed terrain navigation. The K44 Ultimate Scale Cast axles add another 2.67:1 reduction, resulting in a drivetrain optimised for maximum torque delivery and climbing capability rather than speed performance—this is genuine rock crawling engineering.

The RC4WD 45T brushed crawler motor is purpose-built for this application, tuned specifically for sustained low-speed operation and climbing performance rather than acceleration or top speed. The Outcry III waterproof ESC features drag brake functionality, allowing you to control descent speed on steep downhills and providing regenerative braking capability. The system runs on a 6-cell 3000mAh NiMH battery pack with XT60 connector, providing adequate runtime for extended trail sessions whilst remaining lightweight and maintaining realistic vehicle proportions. The Twister metal-gear digital servo delivers an impressive 277.6 oz-in of torque at 6V—sufficient power to overcome steering resistance and maintain precise control even when articulated over rocks and obstacles.

Construction quality throughout reflects RC4WD's reputation for durability and scale accuracy. The chassis is machined from billet aluminium with a CNC ladder frame design, including scale shock hoops, a dedicated chassis servo mount, and proper transfer case and transmission mounts. The K44 axles feature cast metal construction with high-steer knuckles and XVDs, delivering both durability and the precise steering geometry needed for technical terrain. Shock absorbers are machined from billet aluminium with titanium nitride coated shafts and new X-ring technology for long-term reliability and realistic appearance. Every component—from the cast metal transmission case to the hardened steel gears—has been selected or designed for durability and performance on genuine trail terrain. This is not a casual backyard basher; this is a vehicle built for serious rock crawling enthusiasts who demand both authentic scale appearance and genuine off-road capability.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 RTR suitable for beginners? — This vehicle is best suited for hobbyists with some RC experience rather than absolute beginners. Whilst it comes ready to run and fully assembled, the Trail Finder 2 is a serious scale crawler designed for technical terrain navigation rather than casual backyard driving. The sophisticated suspension tuning options, included uninstalled components like leaf springs and shock springs, and the technical nature of crawling as a discipline mean that new RC enthusiasts would benefit from some basic RC knowledge or guidance from experienced users. However, once you understand the basics of RC operation, this RTR provides an excellent platform for learning scale crawling techniques.
• What battery does the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 Midnight Edition need? — The vehicle comes complete with a 6-cell 3000mAh NiMH battery pack with XT60 connector, plus a universal NiMH peak charger, so you can start running immediately out of the box. The NiMH chemistry provides reliable performance and good compatibility with the included Outcry III ESC. If you want to explore upgraded battery options in the future, the XT60 connector is a common standard in the RC hobby, making it easy to use alternative batteries.
• What makes the K44 Ultimate Scale Cast Axles special? — RC4WD recognises the K44 axles as the most scale-accurate on the market, featuring high steer knuckles, XVDs, lower mounting points, and a compact offset front pumpkin. These features deliver both exceptional scale authenticity and genuine functional benefits—the high-steer geometry provides improved turning radius on challenging terrain, whilst the XVDs (extreme velocity differentials) allow the wheels to spin independently, improving traction and articulation on rocks and obstacles. This is the difference between aesthetic realism and engineering realism.
• Can I adjust the suspension after purchase? — Absolutely, and this is a key feature of the Trail Finder 2. The vehicle comes with internal shock springs and helper leaf springs uninstalled but included in the box. The new rear shock towers allow for longer shocks and multiple mounting positions, giving you genuine flexibility to tune the suspension geometry to match your terrain preference and driving style. This customisation capability is one of the reasons serious crawlers choose the Trail Finder 2 platform.
• What's the difference between the Midnight Edition and other Trail Finder 2 models? — The Midnight Edition brings a stunning all-black aesthetic with blacked-out chrome trim, a gloss black hard body, and a contrasting matte finish topper. Beyond the visual transformation, this edition maintains the same proven Trail Finder 2 chassis and componentry found in other versions, so you're getting the same performance foundation with a unique and striking appearance that stands out from traditional chrome-trimmed RC vehicles.
• Is this vehicle waterproof? — The Outcry III ESC features waterproof protection, and the included LED lights are professionally installed and protected. The vehicle is suitable for wet terrain including stream crossings and wet mud, though as with all electronics, extreme submersion should be avoided and the vehicle should be cleaned and dried after water use. Always inspect electronics for water ingress after wet terrain use.
• What radio frequency does this use? — The included XR3 3-channel radio system operates on the modern 2.4GHz frequency band, which provides reliable range and interference-free operation. The 2.4GHz standard is used across the entire RC hobby industry, making this a safe and modern choice for UK operation.
• How long does the battery last per charge? — Runtime depends on terrain, driving style, and motor load. On technical crawling where the vehicle spends much of the time moving slowly under high motor load, you can expect 20-40 minutes of runtime, though gentle scale driving on easier terrain might extend this. The included universal NiMH peak charger will fully recharge the 3000mAh battery in approximately 3-4 hours depending on charger settings.
• What's the wheelbase and overall size? — The Trail Finder 2 features a wheelbase of 287mm (11.3 inches), with overall dimensions of 221mm width (8.7 inches) and 236.8mm height (9.3 inches). Ground clearance is 61.9mm (2.4 inches), providing excellent articulation room for crawling over rocks and obstacles. This 1/10 scale proportioning delivers authentic realism at a manageable size.
• Are there any assembly requirements? — The vehicle arrives fully assembled and ready to run, though RC4WD recommends checking that all hardware is tight before your first drive. Some users prefer to apply thread lock to metal fasteners for added security, particularly on metal-to-metal connections. Use good quality hex drivers and avoid over-tightening, which can strip threads.
