The HW-Y1806 1/16 2.4G 4WD Ready to Run Drift RC Car is a sleek RC drift car designed for high-speed fun on pavement. With a brushed motor, LED lights, and a 4WD system, it’s great for beginners and kids who enjoy racing or drifting on-road RC cars. Its bold black body adds a cool, custom racer vibe.
Performance
Powered by a 390 brushed motor and a 7.4V 1200mAh Li-ion battery, this car reaches speeds up to 36 km/h. The 4WD system and drift tires ensure smooth slides on flat surfaces, while the built-in gyro helps stabilize steering for new drivers. Some users note the battery life is short at high speeds, lasting about 10–12 minutes, but a spare battery can extend playtime. Wet surfaces may reduce tire grip, so stick to dry pavement for best results.
Design and Features
The pre-painted black polycarbonate body sports a custom racer look with vibrant decals and functional LED headlights for night driving. The plastic chassis is lightweight yet sturdy, though it may scratch during rough crashes. The included drift tires are tuned for sliding, and the car supports upgrades like stronger motors. A cooling fan for the ESC would help during long runs, but none is included.
Ease of Use and Maintenance
The 2.4GHz radio offers easy control over a 50-meter range, perfect for beginners. The 7.4V 1200mAh battery charges in about 2 hours via USB, and water-resistant electronics handle light splashes. Maintenance is simple, but small screws may loosen over time. Four AA batteries for the radio are not included.
Special Notes: This is a Ready to Run model, fully assembled with a black body, 7.4V 1200mAh Li-ion battery, and USB charger included. Requires four AA transmitter batteries. Suitable for ages 8+ with upgrade options.
