HobbyPlus PEGASUS3 Rally Features
Honeycomb Chassis FoundationThe RX410 starts with a honeycomb nylon tub chassis. It's the base for a rally setup intended to run on pavement and loose surfaces. |
Metal Drive ComponentsHD metal outdrives and dog bones work with powdered-metal gears. The drivetrain also includes a sealed 4-gear differential and an adjustable slipper clutch. |
Front Geometry: 8 DegreesFront kick-up measures 8 degrees. It's one part of the chassis geometry behind the RX410's rally setup. |
Factory Team Hardware PackageFactory Team Brushless comes with aluminum shock towers, threaded oil-filled shock bodies and caps, hub carriers, steering spindles, wheel hexes, chassis brace, and motor mount. Machined HD steel spur and pinion gears are included too. |
Travel for Rally TerrainLong-travel geometry gives the suspension its off-road rally focus. Choose Factory Team Brushless for the included aluminum threaded shock hardware. |
Rally Tires and Scale CharacterRally-tread tires finish the car's scale look. They're part of a platform intended for pavement, gravel, and dirt-trail driving. |
Sensorless Brushless PowerThe Factory Team version runs a sensorless 3650-size 3600KV brushless motor. Brushed RTR takes a different route with a 550-size 12T motor. |
2–3S ESC and Gyro ReceiverBrushless gets a 60A ESC rated for 2–3S with an XT60 plug. Its separate HB/Flysky 6-channel receiver has a built-in gyro. |

| Buying priority | What to consider |
|---|---|
| Fewer separate startup purchases | Brushed includes its documented drive battery and USB balance charger |
| Factory Team components already specified | Brushless includes the listed aluminum option hardware and machined gears |
| Radio and receiver features | Brushless lists a 6-channel transmitter and gyro-equipped receiver; Brushed lists a 4-channel transmitter and combined ESC/RX |
| Existing battery equipment | Check exact pack fit, voltage, connector, and charger suitability before assuming your equipment works |
| Straightforward speed comparison | Manufacturer-listed Brushed maximum: 46 km/h; current store-advertised Brushless speed: 70+ km/h |
Ownership Advantages and Tradeoffs
| Strength | Consideration and practical context |
|---|---|
| Two RTR equipment levels | Read the version-specific inclusions; the Brushless package needs a battery and charger |
| Rally chassis and licensed body | Match your intended driving to the documented pavement, gravel, dirt, and mixed-surface use |
| Factory Team aluminum hardware | These parts are specified for Factory Team Brushless; do not assume they are included with Brushed |
| Documented brushless ESC and gyro receiver | The brushless ESC/system is described as waterproof; this does not authorize immersion of the complete car |
| Clear platform specifications | Match the chosen version to the battery, charger, and radio equipment you intend to use |

PEGASUS3 RX410 Questions Answered
Which version makes sense for a first rally car?
Brushed keeps the startup shopping list shorter by including the battery and charger. This is a hobby-grade car marked 14+, so choose a setup and running area that suit the driver's experience.
Are the drive battery and charger in the box?
Yes with Brushed: a 3900mAh hardcase pack and USB balance charger are included. With Factory Team Brushless, both are separate purchases.
Can I run an existing pack in Factory Team Brushless?
Check its fit, voltage, and connector before using it. The Brushless ESC is rated for 2–3S with an XT60 plug, and the compartment accommodates up to 3S-size hardcase packs.
What is the top speed of each RX410 version?
The manufacturer lists Brushed at a maximum of 46 km/h, while the store advertises Factory Team Brushless at 70+ km/h. Your battery setup and running conditions affect the result.
Is this intended for pavement or dirt?
Both: the intended surfaces include pavement, gravel, dirt trails, and mixed terrain. Keep the running area clear and follow the operating instructions.
Do Brushed and Brushless have the same receiver and upgrades?
No. Brushed uses a combined ESC/receiver; Factory Team Brushless adds a separate gyro receiver and the listed aluminum hardware.
Does waterproof brushless electronics mean I can submerge it?
No. The waterproof description covers the brushless system/ESC, not a complete-vehicle immersion rating.
