Description[]
RD-06 is an original design by Mark Jones and Nathan Proch that first debuted under the Racing Drones segment of the AcceleRacers series in 2005. It depicts a robotic race car with 502 HP, a C-43 J turbine engine with jet assisted launch capabilities, a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, 20" front and 22" back wheels. RD-06 was retooled twice; once in 2013 with no major changes and once in 2024 with the windshield made flush with the body for easier assembly.
RD-06 was featured in the Hot Wheels: AcceleRacers film series driven by multiple RD-S1.
