Just for promotional shots, the on-screen car didn't have it.

1993 brought with it the Traxxas LS II, an evolutionary advancement over the previous Blue Eagle LS. A new flat deck carbon fiber chassis with 30-degree kickup maintained the same wheelbase but sandwiched a new bellcrank steering system under a black fiberglass upper chassis deck that stretched from...

An aesthetic update on Grendel showing off her backside.

That's exactly what I thought the livery was this whole time, seriously, only recently realized it wasn't a beverage sponsor, it says Dual Sport

Tamia's new Tamiya Pajero is a real weird animal. They left the lift kit on it, assumingly because it's the only place to put a moden battery, and left the gearing for a monster truck intact but they put smaller tires on it. While I did not run it around in stock form because I couldn't bring myself...
