FLYCOLOR Turbo Racing C64 1:76 RWD Ready to Run Drift RC Car with Gyro and LED Lights

The FLYCOLOR Turbo Racing C64 1:76 RWD Ready to Run delivers a compact mini RC drift car designed for smooth slides on indoor surfaces. Featuring a gyro-assisted steering system, proportional 2.4GHz control, and LED lights, this vehicle offers engaging performance for micro RC car enthusiasts. With two replaceable body shells and a 55mAh LiPo battery, it supports customization and extended play, ideal for desktop drifting.

Performance

The C64 achieves moderate speeds suitable for its 1:76 scale, driven by a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) system and a compact brushed motor. The built-in gyro stabilizes steering, aiding smooth drifts on polished floors or RC tracks, while the THR-Curve system provides a linear throttle response for gentle acceleration up to 50%, followed by stronger output. However, the small motor struggles with sustained high-speed runs, risking overheating, and the RWD setup demands precise control to avoid spins, especially for beginners. The 2.4GHz P21SVC 4CH transmitter offers a 30-meter range with proportional steering, but some users report occasional signal lag, requiring recalibration of the ST-TRIM for straight-line travel. Drift tires ensure low grip for sliding, though they wear quickly on rough surfaces.

Design and Features

The pre-painted blue body, paired with two unpainted replaceable shells, allows customization, enhancing the car’s appeal. Functional LED headlights with a double-flash effect and chassis-controlled lights add realism, though the taillights’ stoplight function may flicker inconsistently during braking. The plastic chassis is lightweight but prone to scratches, and small components risk breaking during crashes. The 3.7V 55mAh LiPo battery supports up to 30 minutes of runtime, but the 40-minute charging time via Type-C can disrupt play sessions. The stainless steel screwdriver included for shell swaps simplifies maintenance, though tiny screws are easily lost. The non-specific sports car design lacks real-world scale fidelity but prioritizes drift functionality.

Ease of Use and Maintenance

The P21SVC transmitter with trim and steering reverse functions is beginner-friendly, though the gyro requires adjustment via the SVC knob to prevent veering. The Ready to Run package requires 4x AAA batteries for the transmitter, adding setup costs. Maintenance is minimal due to the pre-assembled design, but the small scale complicates repairs, and the motor’s brushes may need replacement after heavy use. Feedback highlights inconsistent ESC performance, with some units failing early, necessitating careful handling. Upgrades like additional shells or a Turbo Racing VT transmitter enhance versatility, but compatibility is limited. The included troubleshooting guide helps address steering issues, making it accessible for novices.

Special Notes: This is a Ready to Run model, fully assembled with a pre-painted blue body, two unpainted shells, a 3.7V 55mAh LiPo battery, Type-C charging cable, and screwdriver included. Requires 4x AAA batteries for the transmitter (not included). Suitable for beginners with gyro assistance, while advanced users can tweak gyro settings for refined drifting.
