Description[]
RD-03 is an original design by Josh Henson that first debuted under the Racing Drones segment of the AcceleRacers series in 2005. It depicts a technologically advanced Acceleron-created robotic off-road vehicle with 600 HP, an A6 F25 M hydrogen fueled turbine engine, independent fully adjustable computer controlled suspension, aluminum alloy chassis, carbon fiber body, and 24” wheels. The casting was retooled in 2015, with minor changes to the side exhaust system and the front bumper; moreover, the engine block is now being molded with the window piece.
RD-03 was not featured in the Hot Wheels: AcceleRacers film series. However, according to the AcceleRacers Virtual Car Gallery, it is driven by multiple RD-S1.
