RC Drift Car 1/18 Scale Remote Control Drift Car with Gyro Hobby RC Car for Adult RWD 2.4 GHz Gyroscope Proportional Throttle Steering Metal Drive Shafts Blinking Headlights LD1804

Great value car for entry into drifting. I got it as a birthday gift for my 11 year old nephew and now I bought two more. You can find these on the big Chinese distributor websites for less but then you’re waiting weeks for delivery, and you’re only saving maybe $10-12. If you do purchase from other sites be aware that the “standard” versions are the older models with torsion springs (cheesy little wires) instead of coil over shocks, brass bushings instead of bearings, no rear lights, and no gryoscope. Those may be better for children since they have rubber tires making them easier to control, but no drifting. You can also find plenty of upgrades on those websites like aluminum control arms and knuckles. It’s been a month and apparently it’s still fully working even with a 3 year old sometimes getting a hold of the controller and driving full speed into the walls so it’s quite durable for an rc. Their mom says it’s by far their favorite toy. Drawbacks are the method of adjusting the ride height, the silly little black plastic stoppers on the underside of the a-arms aren’t even similar enough to give even heights side to side. The lights are cool but there is a decent amount of bleed through on the surrounding plastic (not a big deal though). The wipers on every model I’ve received have been nearly impossible to get into the passenger side hole, I think it’s an issue with the plastic mold. Overall it’s a solid rc with tons of potential for fun. Definitely recommend for kids over 10 up to adults into the hobby.

I'll start with the remote control on this. Not only does it work really well but to steer it, I actually found it a lot easier to move it with the wheel. I personally found that the wheel is very much similar to steering like an actual car and that I can get better control and movement with it. Not to mention, this car really can drift and it doesn't damage the wheels or the mechanism inside when it does. Making the car go is as easy as just pulling the trigger on it. The car itself is really cool, the headlights really do work. While they're not enough to completely light the way when its dark, it is cool to see them on while driving. The one thing I noticed is that the battery life really can last a long time but found it does depend on how much it gets used. This can go pretty fast and even when we jump off of curbs, the car itself doesn't break, crack or anything like that easily. Built really well and truly is a fun toy to play with.

Love it, it’s a fun rc to play with around the house, the kids enjoy driving it and it’s plenty powerful for drifting.

This is a bonafide budget drift car. Gyro works well and it slides well. This is for my son and didn’t want to spend 150 bucks on hobby grade but the cheap awd drift cars with no gyro are very lack luster. This was ready to rip out of the box and can drift properly. Worth the $70 price tag when I bought!
