IMEX Bolt
1/16 Scale 4WD Brushless Short Course Truck
Bigger Doesn't Mean Better.
The Most Underestimated RC in Our Lineup
The IMEX BOLT proves that real performance isn’t defined by size or hype. Its compact footprint makes it easy to overlook, but once it’s in motion, the value becomes obvious. While most RC trucks force you to choose between speed, durability, or cost, the BOLT delivers all three. Fast, nimble, and easy to run almost anywhere, it offers ridiculous performance for the money.
This spot didn’t come easy. We went back and forth more than once. The Slingshot had a real case for the top position — but the BOLT kept forcing its way back into the conversation. It’s one of the most overlooked trucks in the lineup, mostly because of its size. People see small and assume tame. In reality, it delivers absurd performance for the price, and that gap between perception and reality is exactly why it earned the number-one spot.

Real Results. No Marketing Tricks.
Built with Purpose
Brushless Power System
Compact brushless power delivers strong acceleration without excess strain. The BOLT’s motor provides smooth, efficient output that keeps speed usable and controllable instead of overwhelming the chassis.
Splash-Proof ESC
A sealed, splash-resistant 30A ESC manages power cleanly and consistently. It’s designed for real-world running conditions, helping maintain predictable performance whether you’re cruising or pushing harder.
Grippy 70mm Tires
Wide 70mm tires provide dependable traction across pavement, dirt, and rough surfaces. The balanced tread keeps the truck planted and stable, helping translate power into forward motion.
Unlock Full 3S Performance
This vehicle is 3S capable but ships with a 2S battery. To reach the incredible speed shown in the video, you will need a compatible 3S LiPo battery and a proper charger. We have the correct options linked below.
What You Pay
