Join the Rebellion with Rebel RC’s RJ Rebelcon

Do you think the 1/10-scale R/C crawler market is too crowded? I don’t, and neither do the folks at Rebel RC as they’ve announced their first ready-to-run (RTR) model, the RJ Rebelcon. This 1/10-scale trail machine looks to make a name for itself in the land of well-established rigs like the Axial SCX10 II/III, Traxxas TRX-4, RC4WD Trailfinder, Redcat GEN8, and others.

On the surface, the RJ Rebelcon looks like a rig that’s ready for an outdoor adventure. Featuring a bevy of scale details like a roof basket, multiple LED lights, clear windows, fuel cans, a sand jack, and more, this model should appeal to fans of scale R/C as well as those who want to enjoy a day on the trail.

Under the Jeep Wrangler-inspired body (available in orange or dark gray), the RJ Rebelcon features 5mm-thick chassis rails and a standard ladder-frame foundation. Other construction highlights of this model include portal axles, steel center driveshafts, remote-locking metal-gear differentials, a two-speed transmission with remote shifting, and a 550-size brushed motor.

In addition to the appearance and construction of this rig, Rebel RC appears to have its bases covered on the electronics side as well. The RJ Rebelcon includes a Hobbywing Crawler 60A Brushed/Waterproof Servo, a high-torque 21T motor, a 23kg metal gear steering servo, 0.9kg micro servos, and a 6-channel, 2.4GHz radio system.
