About this product
ZD Racing MT-16 1/16 Brushless 4WD Off-Road RC Car – 80km/h
Built for serious speed and rugged off-road performance, the ZD Racing MT-16 is a competition-grade 1/16 scale brushless RC car designed to dominate on dirt, grass, gravel, and tarmac alike. Powered by a high-output Rocket 2845 3600KV brushless motor and a 35A 3S brushless ESC, this compact monster delivers blistering acceleration and a top speed of up to 80km/h straight out of the box.
At its core is a CNC-machined T6061 aluminium alloy chassis, paired with 3mm aluminium shock towers and long-stroke oil-filled metal shocks (Φ16×71mm). This lightweight yet incredibly rigid structure provides exceptional durability and precise handling, even under extreme impacts. Front and rear full metal differentials with silicone oil damping, overload limited-slip gearing, and steel CVD drive shafts ensure smooth, reliable power delivery to all four wheels.
Off-road capability is taken to the next level with aggressive all-terrain rubber tyres (Φ87×44mm), a massive 50mm ground clearance, and front & rear anti-roll bars for improved stability at high speed. Scale details such as front impact headlights, roof rack, mirrors, and rear lighting give the MT-16 a realistic off-road look while also helping protect the bodyshell during hard bashing sessions.
The MT-16 comes ready to run, including an 11.1V 3S 2200mAh LiPo battery, 2.4GHz radio system, and waterproof metal-gear steering servo — just add AA batteries to the transmitter and you’re ready to unleash serious performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
The MT-16 is designed for experienced drivers and competition use rather than beginners. At 80km/h top speed with high-performance brushless power, it demands good handling skills and familiarity with 4WD RC cars. If you're new to the hobby, we'd recommend starting with a slower, more forgiving model first.
The MT-16 includes an 11.1V 3S 2200mAh LiPo battery. Charge times vary depending on your charger's output; check your charger's manual or the battery instructions for exact timing. Always use a LiPo-compatible charger and follow safe charging practices.
You receive the assembled ZD Racing MT-16 RC car, an 11.1V 3S 2200mAh LiPo battery, and a 2.4GHz radio system with waterproof metal-gear steering servo. You'll need to add AA batteries to the transmitter before you can drive.
The MT-16 is a 1/16 scale model, making it significantly smaller and more portable than larger RC buggies like 1/12 or 1/10 scales. Its compact size makes it ideal for smaller gardens, parks, or indoor spaces, though the 50mm ground clearance means it still handles rough terrain well.
The MT-16 features a waterproof metal-gear steering servo and is designed for off-road use including wet terrain. However, the ESC and motor are not fully waterproof, so avoid submerging the car or running it through deep water—splashes and damp grass are fine, but drain any water from the chassis after wet sessions.
