Blackzon Vyper: 1/16 rally and short-course trucks
The Blackzon Vyper shares the 1/16 Slyder platform but steps up the specification with a full metal drivetrain – metal differentials, spur gear and driveshafts – plus aluminium oil-filled shocks and a composite tub chassis. It comes in two body styles: the RX rally car and the SC short-course truck, each in brushed and Turbo brushless versions.

Which Vyper should I choose?
Pick the body – the RX rally car or the SC short-course truck – then the power: brushed for an easy, affordable start, or Turbo brushless for more speed (the RX Turbo reaches 42km/h on 2S and up to 55km/h on an optional 3S LiPo). All four share the same metal-drivetrain 1/16 chassis, so spares and setup carry across.
Spares are in Blackzon spare parts. On the same 1/16 platform see the Blackzon Slyder trucks; for more size step up to the Smyter 1/12 range.
