REEFS RC XP10 Plague Founder’s Edition Crawler Kit

The team at REEFS RC has launched what might be their biggest project to date: the XP10 Plague Founder’s Edition Crawler Kit. This chassis kit is geared toward performance-minded drivers, offering an array of features designed to keep this rig planted while out on the rocks.

The XP1 Plague Founder’s Edition Kit uses REEFS 199 Portal Axles that are paired with a chassis design that keeps the overall center of gravity low. It’s an excellent combination of ground clearance and stability that should help drivers navigate some of the trickiest terrain imaginable.

Along with REEFS’ own portal axles, this kit includes other REEFS-designed items like their XP Shocks, the XPT3 Transmission, the XP Chassis, and a clear Plague two-piece body. Other highlights include brass c-hub weights, a brass transmission case, and a brass servo horn.

Since this is a “Founder’s Edition” model, you get a few extras including a numbered, tactical carrying case.
