Earlier this year Team Associated released their new on road RC platform, the Apex2. It came with the Hoonitruck body and initiated a collaboration with Hoonigan, the guys behind the world famous Hoonicorn. The Hoonicorn is a 1965 Ford Mustang built by RTR and has evolved through several looks and tuning stages throughout the years. When Gymkhana 7 came out, where Ken Block premiered the Hoonicorn in the streets of Los Angeles for some tire slaying action, I was so inspired that I built an RC version in 5th scale. Right now you can own a 10th scale replica of the most recent version, made by Team Associated. The Apex 2 chassis on which the highly detailed body sits is a good performing platform which will be easy to maintain. Some features as listed on the website:

Apex2 with licensed Hoonitruck body
Injection molded brake calipers and rotors
2.4GHz 2-channel radio system
Reedy brushed speed control and 3-pole brushed motor
Steel 25T servo horn

The following description is taken from the Team Associated website:

Hoonicorn is a tire-slaying beast!

The Apex2 chassis has been updated from our previous version with the latest features in on road racing. A front and rear independent suspension with threaded oil-filled shocks and active rear toe give the Apex2 the ultimate in handling on uneven tarmac. This makes it a perfect platform for the Hoonitruck and tire-shredding action!

For better handling, A-arm front and rear independent suspension keeps the Hoonicorn under control during the wildest of driving conditions.
Threaded oil-filled shocks smooth out the bumps when ripping down the tarmac and shredding tires.
Active rear suspension allows the amount of toe change to be adjusted through the suspension cycle, increasing or decreasing rear grip.

A sealed center driveline keeps dirt and debris out--along with bits of tire rubber--for smooth and reliable power delivery.
The Apex2 chassis is equipped with metal ring and pinion gears for long-lasting durability that can handle tire-slaying burn-outs
Reedy SC500X programmable brushed ESC (program card sold separately) and Reedy Sport 550 15-turn 3-slot brushed motor"
