MIEBELY McLaren 720S 1/24 2WD Ready-to-Run RC Drift Car

The MIEBELY McLaren 720S 1/24 2WD Ready-to-Run RC Drift Car replicates the McLaren 720S supercar with a detailed body shell, designed for on-road drifting and racing. This RC drift car uses a brushed motor and 2.4GHz transmitter, supporting speeds up to 15 mph. Its small scale and drift tires make it suitable for hobbyists interested in remote control drift cars for indoor tracks or smooth pavement.

Performance

The brushed motor offers power for speeds up to 15 mph on flat surfaces, with the 2WD system enabling rear-wheel slides using drift tires. The car handles basic drifts adequately, though precise throttle control is needed for stability. It performs on indoor or paved areas, but its low ground clearance limits use on rough terrain. Some feedback notes that the motor can warm up during extended runs, suggesting short breaks to maintain function.

Build Quality

The plastic chassis and body shell provide basic durability for light drifting, with metal gears in the drivetrain for smoother operation. Full ball bearings reduce friction, but the plastic suspension parts may loosen with repeated use. The waterproof ESC offers protection against minor splashes, though the body clips can wear from frequent handling. Upgrades like metal components are available to extend lifespan.

Control

The 2.4GHz transmitter has a range of about 50 meters with proportional steering and throttle. The 5g servo handles maneuvers, but some reports indicate minor delays in response during quick turns. The controls are straightforward for beginners, though the transmitter requires 4 AA batteries (not included). Adjusting alignment helps with drift consistency, but the lack of advanced settings like dual-rate limits options.

Design and Features

The McLaren 720S body has a simple sporty design with LED lights for visibility. The 7.4V 500mAh battery provides 15–20 minutes of runtime, with a 1-hour USB charge time. The independent suspension supports drift setups, but the absence of a gyro may affect stability for novices. The manual includes basic instructions, though additional research may be needed for tuning.

Special Notes: This is a Ready-to-Run model, fully assembled with a pre-painted McLaren 720S body, 7.4V 500mAh battery, and USB charger included. Requires 4 AA batteries for the transmitter (not included). Suitable for beginners learning to drift, but experienced users can adjust suspension for better performance.
