AMORIL 1/10 AK-917 2WD Brushed RTR On-Road RC Supercar

The AMORIL AK-917 1/10 Brushed 4WD Ready to Run delivers a high-speed RC supercar for on-road racing and bashing. Featuring a 550 13T brushed motor, an 80A ESC, and a 7.4V 3300mAh LiPo battery, this truck achieves speeds up to 60 km/h with a turbo function for rapid acceleration. Equipped with a 2.4GHz transmitter and a robust transmission system, it suits on-road RC car enthusiasts seeking performance and modification potential.

Performance

The AK-917 reaches speeds up to 60 km/h with a 550 13T brushed motor and 80A ESC, supported by a 4WD system with carbon steel CVD driveshafts and a 1:8 metal differential for reliable power transfer. The turbo function enhances acceleration, but the high gear ratio causes the motor to overheat quickly, especially with 3S batteries, risking burnout if driven aggressively. Steering is overly sensitive at high speeds, leading to spin-outs without careful control, and the stock tires wear rapidly on asphalt, requiring frequent replacements for consistent grip.

Design and Features

The pre-painted red body features a sleek, non-specific supercar design with foam-inserted tires and simulated brake discs for aesthetic appeal. The composite chassis with a 1:8 differential ensures durability, but the plastic body is prone to scratches and minor cracking during high-speed crashes. The absence of LED lights limits nighttime visibility, though the accessory kit includes spare gears and stickers for customization. The adjustable suspension arms allow camber tuning, but the stock setup may feel soft for competitive racing, necessitating upgrades for advanced users.

Ease of Use and Maintenance

The 2.4GHz 4-channel transmitter provides a 150-meter range with responsive controls, suitable for beginners, though the sensitive steering may challenge novices. The 7.4V 3300mAh LiPo battery offers 15–20 minutes of runtime, but charging takes 2–3 hours, slowing extended sessions. The Ready to Run package includes spare gears and a charger, but requires 4x AA batteries for the transmitter. Maintenance is straightforward with a modular design, but small screws strip easily, and the high gear ratio requires frequent motor cooling to prevent wear.

Special Notes: This is a Ready to Run model, fully assembled with a pre-painted red body, 7.4V 3300mAh LiPo battery, USB charger, and accessory kit (spare gears, stickers). Requires 4x AA batteries for the transmitter (not included). Suitable for beginners with cautious driving, while advanced users can upgrade gears or add a gyro for better control.
