This is the officially licensed Boom Racing BRX02™ Land Rover® Series III 109 Pickup 1/10 4WD radio control car kit.

Commonly referred to as Series Land Rovers, it is arguably one of the world’s most iconic vehicles ever made. Produced from 1971 to 1985, the Land Rover Series III is unshowy, unpretentious, and classless; it is the car that you can arrive with at the Buckingham Palace, a rural farm, or an inner-city estate.

The Series Land Rover survived decades largely unchanged, serving farmers and foresters, construction and utility companies, explorers and scientists, armies and airforces – in fact, everyone who needed a good, honest vehicle that would do a good, honest job anywhere in the world. It was a beacon of safety and security too. It was favored by the military, the police, the fire service, NGOs, the UN, the Royal Palace, the Special Forces, and explorers alike. This iconic workhorse discovered new regions, won wars, and saved lives.

Regress to a simpler, classier time, and experience the ageless charm of this iconic vehicle. We’ve carefully studied the vehicle extensively and spent over a year designing and producing this scaled-down model kit. After years of waiting for such a model, the Boom Racing Land Rover Series III 109 radio control car kit has finally arrived.

What is the BRX02 109?

The Boom Racing Land Rover Series III project began with the BRX02 Leaf chassis as a starting platform with a 334mm wheelbase. We’ve made multiple changes to retrofit this new classic body.

These changes include using the slightly narrower BRX80 Scale PHAT™ axles, a new B2X™ anti-torque twist aluminum transfer case that is identical to the original BRX02 transfer case but has the additional feature of being overdrive ready. New 6mm aluminum frame rails for superior strength, chassis rigidity and predictable handling. A new stainless steel ESC mounting plate next to the front motor replaces the carbon fiber ESC plate at the rear end of the BRX02 Leaf chassis.

To re-create the original Series III appearance, the body sits slightly lower with 80mm KUDU™ scale shock dampers, and the front and rear bumpers were changed to the Series III design. The front bumper includes space for a fairlead, and the rear bumper includes left and right-side crossmember grab handles. The front and rear skid plate sliders are designed with maximum ground clearance in mind and molded in nylon for added strength and to keep the CG lower.

One of the main challenges in designing this scaled-down Series III was to keep the wheels tucked inside the body at all times while having good steering ability with a full leaf spring setup. This was achieved by using the BRX80 Scale PHAT™ axles, plus an all-new XT502-Pin pin wheel hub that is narrower than the XT500 pin hub.

The other challenge was to figure out a way to relocate the steering servo. Series IIIs had quite a significant recessed grill which interfered with the way the BRX02 Leaf chassis is set up. We designed a new servo mount and moved the servo under the motor, and by flipping the BCF2™ transmission motor mount upside down we created enough space for the servo and added a good amount of suspension travel.

The chassis is fitted with our new SLR™ 1.9” steelie beadlock wheels that come with scale wheel caps with a tool included for easy installation, as well as new scale screws that were specifically designed for these wheels, with a tool included. The wheels are paired with a set of Mileage Classic™ 1.9” scale tires in Gekko™ Black (super soft) compound. This soft and tacky rubber is our proprietary compound which is used in many of our tires and is formulated for crawler performance and durability in rough terrains.

With all the above updates, we’ve given the chassis its own new identity – the BRX02 109.
