XCRATOYS NORTH BFC6120 Y30-03 1/64 2WD Ready-to-Run RC City Bus with LED Lights

The XCRATOYS NORTH BFC6120 Y30-03 1/64 2WD Ready-to-Run RC City Bus is a miniature scale model replicating a luxury tour bus, featuring a brushed motor, alloy body, and LED lights. This RC bus model can reach speeds up to 5 mph on smooth surfaces such as roads or indoor floors. Its 2.4GHz transmitter and included battery make it a choice for hobbyists interested in remote control RC buses for display or casual driving.

Performance

The brushed motor delivers speeds up to 5 mph, adequate for basic driving on flat surfaces. The 2WD system offers forward and reverse motion, with the bus handling paved roads or indoor tracks reasonably, though carpet can slow progress. The independent suspension and rubber tires provide basic stability, but the small size limits performance on uneven terrain. Some feedback notes that the motor warms up during longer runs, suggesting short breaks for cooling.

Build Quality

The alloy body and plastic chassis offer basic durability for light use, with simple gearing for operation. The absence of full ball bearings slightly increases friction, but the design withstands minor bumps. The waterproof ESC protects against light splashes, though the body clips may loosen with repeated use. Some reports suggest plastic wheels wear on rough surfaces, recommending gentle use to maintain condition.

Control

The 2.4GHz transmitter has a range of about 50 meters with basic steering and throttle. The servo handles maneuvers, but some reports indicate minor delays in response during quick turns. The controls are straightforward for beginners, though the transmitter requires 2 AA batteries (not included). Adjusting trim helps with straight-line driving, but the lack of advanced features like dual-rate limits customization.

Design and Features

The luxury tour bus body has a detailed design with LED lights for visibility. The 3.7V 500mAh battery provides 15–20 minutes of runtime, with a 1-hour USB charge time. The basic suspension supports light handling, 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 luxury tour bus body, 3.7V 500mAh battery, and USB charger included. Requires 2 AA batteries for the transmitter (not included). Suitable for beginners learning to drive, but experienced users can adjust suspension for better performance.
