WLtoys 284131 1/28 4WD RTR Micro RC Drift Car with LED Lights

The WLtoys 284131 1/28 4WD Ready to Run offers a compact mini RC drift car designed for high-speed drifting and on-road performance. Featuring a metal chassis, pre-installed drift tires, and functional LED lights, this vehicle provides a balance of durability and visual appeal. Equipped with a 2.4GHz remote control system and three 7.4V 500mAh batteries, it supports extended play for micro RC car enthusiasts seeking indoor or smooth-surface racing.

Performance

The 284131 achieves speeds up to 30 km/h with a 130 brushed motor and a 4WD system, delivering sufficient torque for controlled drifts on smooth surfaces like hardwood or RC tracks. The independent suspension and four-wheel shock absorbers ensure stable cornering and vibration dampening, though the lightweight 193g frame may lead to oversteering during aggressive maneuvers without careful throttle control. The 2.4GHz transmitter with adjustable trim supports precise handling over a 100-meter range, suitable for competitive drifting with practice.

Design and Features

The pre-painted green body, paired with LED headlights, taillights, and a top searchlight, enhances nighttime visibility and aesthetic appeal. The alloy chassis and zinc alloy gears provide durability, while the included drift tires offer strong ground adhesion for sliding. The non-specific sports car design lacks real-world scale realism but prioritizes drifting functionality. The plastic body may sustain scratches during intense use, though the metal chassis resists collision damage. The package includes a three-line charging cable for simultaneous battery charging.

Ease of Use and Maintenance

The 2.4GHz full-scale synchronous remote control system features throttle and steering trim adjustments, accommodating beginners and advanced drivers. The three 7.4V 500mAh LiPo batteries provide 12–18 minutes of runtime each, though charging takes about 60 minutes per battery. The Ready to Run package requires 4x AA batteries for the transmitter. Maintenance is straightforward with a robust chassis, but small components require careful handling to avoid loss during upgrades or repairs. Upgrade options, like metal suspension parts, are widely available.

Special Notes: This is a Ready to Run model, fully assembled with a pre-painted body, three 7.4V 500mAh LiPo batteries, a three-line USB charging cable, and drift tires included. Requires 4x AA batteries for the transmitter (not included). Suitable for beginners with adjustable controls, while advanced users can upgrade parts for enhanced drifting performance.
