This one surprised me 👀
I picked up the LDRC 18401 PRO and it’s packing something you almost NEVER see at this price…
👉 FOC sensored brushless system
👉 Full metal drivetrain
👉 Oil shocks + realistic details
On paper, this thing looks like it shouldn’t exist in the budget category — but how does it actually perform?
In this video:
Low-speed control breakdown
What they got RIGHT (and wrong)
Is this better than typical RTR brushed rigs?
This could be one of the most interesting budget crawlers right now.
