Description[]
The RD-01 is a Racing Drone that did not appear in any of the AcceleRacers movies. The vehicle is powered by an 800 HP, CZ F35 hydrogen fueled turbine engine with a independent fully adjustable computer controlled suspension like most of the drone cars. The car's chassis are fully aluminum and the body being carbon fiber. RD-01 has 20" front wheels and 22" back wheels.
The casting received a retool in 2014, with the rear fenders being made part of the body as opposed to being a separate piece.

No-Notch Variant[]
Some releases of the original 2005 AcceleRacers model doesn't include the notch in front of the rear wheels. This is likely a missing part error.
