JJRC C8812 MAX 1/18 Scale RC Tank — High-Speed Drift & 360° Off-Road Fun

The JJRC C8812 MAX is a fully assembled, Ready-to-Run RC tank-style car designed for thrill-seekers who crave high-speed off-road action and cinematic 360° spins. Available in grey and desert yellow, it combines a rugged tank form with agile all-terrain capabilities and dazzling lighting effects.

Performance

Powered by a dual brushed motor setup—130 and 290—this vehicle packs solid acceleration and drift capability. It achieves top speeds of approximately 8 km/h and rotates smoothly on the spot, allowing tight 360° maneuvers and dynamic spin-outs that stand out in any RC lineup.

Build Quality

Made with durable ABS plastic and reinforced chassis components, the C8812 MAX can take knocks and off-road use in stride. It features openable doors for interactive scale realism and a weighty feel that enhances control during high-speed drifts.

Control & Handling

The 4-channel 2.4 GHz transmitter offers smooth proportional control—forward, reverse, left/right steering—and enables commanding 360° rotation. With a control range up to 50 m, pilots can perform spins, drifts, and tight maneuvers with responsive feedback.

Lighting & Visual Features

Equipped with front and rear LEDs, interior ambient lighting, and adjustable “phantom” roof lights, this model lights up any track or room with multiple modes for dynamic visual effects. The lighting brings a cinematic flair to every session.

Battery & Runtime

The car runs on one or optionally two 7.4 V 500 mAh Li-ion batteries (sold separately). When equipped with two batteries, the runtime reaches approximately 15 minutes per charge. Charging time is around 180 minutes via USB.

Ease of Use & Maintenance

This tank-style RC vehicle arrives fully assembled and Ready-to-Run. The modular design and transparent shell layout make component access quick for routine maintenance or simple upgrades. Openable features like doors add to the hands-on experience.

Special Notes

This model is ideal for indoor or backyard use and thrives on smooth surfaces. While it's not meant for heavy-duty off-road crawling, the 360° drift mode offers distinctive performance flair. Owners seeking improved durability may consider aftermarket upgrades, especially for the drivetrain and body clips.
