Frequently Asked Questions
The RC10DR is ready to run straight from the box with no assembly required, making it accessible to beginners. However, it's a 1/10 scale desert rally car designed for off-road terrain, so some basic RC driving experience or willingness to learn on rough ground is recommended. The included gyro system helps with stability to aid newer drivers.
The product uses a LiPo battery (type and capacity not specified in the box contents), so you'll need a compatible LiPo charger and battery if not included. For exact charge times and battery specifications, please check the manual or contact our sales team, as these details aren't listed in the standard product information.
The RC10DR arrives fully assembled and ready to run, including the car itself, a Reedy 3300kV brushless motor, water-resistant ESC with LiPo cutoff protection, 2.4GHz transmitter with DVC receiver and adjustable gyro, and aluminium big bore shocks. You will need to source a compatible LiPo battery and charger separately unless specified otherwise.
This is a 1/10 scale RC car, which is a standard mid-size for off-road racing vehicles—typically around 450–500mm in length. It's designed for open terrain like dirt tracks and desert-style landscapes rather than confined indoor spaces.
The Reedy 3300kV brushless motor delivers modern performance and reliability with less maintenance than brushed alternatives, whilst the adjustable gyro helps stabilise the car during challenging off-road conditions, particularly useful on rough and unpredictable terrain. Together, they provide consistent handling and speed across demanding surfaces without compromise.
