Although intended as a mass-market RC rather than hobby-grade, the Big Dictator impresses with its fully proportional digital radio control, front and rear differentials, and functional suspension with shock absorbers—all uncommon for its time and price range . This combination of features set it apart from other toy-grade models and even rivalled entry-level hobby buggies.

Still, the electronics are outdated so we convert the car to using modern RC electronics.

The original servo is not a standard one- it has 5 wires so you cannot use it with standard RC receiver.
