The RGT Intruder EX86020 is a gorgeous single-speed trail rig. However, it was lacking in the power department and needed a little more finesse for both rocks and trails. In stock form, it was both too fast for crawling and too slow for trailing.
But I really like the radio system and lights it comes with and I didn't want to lose those when upgrading to brushless. What to do?
Well, I have the answer for you if you want an RGT Intruder Fusion upgrade, but to keep the original radio. Oh yes, and to have controllable bumper lights. And rock lights. And a front winch. And a rear winch. All from the original radio.
Yes, really!

A note on Pepe the Frog at 0:44 - I just learned from a commenter that this "feels good man" meme has been adopted by various hate groups. I had no idea about this and it was used innocently here! To be clear, there are no racist undertones or intentions here! I just liked the silly rhyme!
