Redcat Racing Lightning EPX 1/10 4WD RTR Drift Car (Metallic Red)

Buy on Amazon

The Redcat Racing Lightning EPX 1/10 4WD RTR Drift Car is a tunable drift machine featuring a 19T brushed motor, full proportional 2.4GHz radio, and adjustable suspension. This RC drift car delivers smooth slides and controlled drifts on smooth surfaces, with a metallic red body, LED lights, and an included battery/charger. Its 4WD drivetrain and tunable setup make it a choice for hobbyists interested in remote control drift cars for street or indoor drifting practice.

Performance

The 19T brushed motor provides balanced torque and speed for controlled drifting, reaching 20–25 mph on smooth pavement. Full-time 4WD with adjustable slipper clutch and rear diff lock allows precise throttle control and power delivery to the rear wheels for predictable slides. Tunable suspension (camber, toe, ride height) lets you dial in handling for different surfaces. Runtime averages 20–30 minutes on the included 7.4V 1800mAh LiPo battery.

Build Quality

Durable composite chassis with metal drive shafts, sealed ball bearings, and adjustable oil-filled shocks ensure reliable performance. The polycarbonate metallic red body with separate wings survives slides and light crashes. Waterproof electronics protect against dust and splashes. Users report good longevity with proper maintenance, though plastic wheel hexes may wear with aggressive drifting (metal upgrades available).

Control

The included 2.4GHz pistol-grip transmitter offers full proportional steering and throttle with ~100 m range. Adjustable endpoints and trim allow fine-tuning. Response is smooth with minimal lag—ideal for precise drift lines. Transmitter requires 4×AA batteries (not included).

Design and Features

Classic drift styling with metallic red body, functional LED headlights/taillights, and detailed graphics. Quick-release body clips for fast battery access. Includes 7.4V 1800mAh LiPo battery and wall charger. The car arrives fully factory-assembled and tuned for immediate drifting.

Special Notes: This is a Ready-to-Run model, fully assembled with the drift car, 2.4GHz transmitter, 7.4V 1800mAh LiPo battery, wall charger, and instructions included. Transmitter requires 4×AA batteries (not included). Suitable for intermediate users looking to master drifting techniques.
