Racing the new Costco Maisto F1 Ferrari and Red Bull RC Toys! Awesome details on these Formula1 cars

[@akura2]

I picked up the Red Bull… these are significantly bigger than 1/10 scale (I have several hobby grade F1 cars, and these Maistos are like 1/8 scale… (I’ll have to take measurements to actually check)

[@irvbikes6440]

Oh yeah it would be interesting to compare to other models! Might be interesting to measure and compute as well. F1 drivers have been complaining that the cars have gotten too big so it could still be to scale.

I use a 7.4 volt 2S LiPo for a little more RPMs to the 380 motor and I Dremeled out the chassis to give the steering links more clearance so the servo arm gets a little more throw lock to lock

[@TriTran-iy8et]

We should have a race at the track. We just got one and the track is 15 minutes south of us.

Genial compra Pará toda tu familia los demás modelos...su manejó de stedes es muy bueno y esa pista?? Que bonito circuito que más puede pedir?? Perfecto bro ❤

Going to get on for a self queen 👌

[@irvbikes6440]

You might get tempted to play with it lol. I'll probably do both, play with it and eventually make it part of the garage display haha.

Hi! Awesome run❤!What camera are u using for the POV?😉

[@irvbikes6440]

I used some older GoPro Hero 8s with a foam sleeve to prevent wind noise and to provide some protection. Just quickly taped them to the halo for these, but there's potential to use some actual mounts next time.

Is that the old Tamiya track in Aliso Viejo, CA?

[@irvbikes6440]

This one's fairly new, opened three years ago at our neighborhood park in Murrieta, CA.

[@derekc6425]

What's the max speed? Looks good dope!🤩

[@irvbikes6440]

Around 12mph, which is actually slow compared to hobby RCs, but fast enough to be fun for a toy RC. Looks really good indeed!

@@irvbikes6440 Do u think can change to brushless?

[@irvbikes6440]

@@derekc6425 I haven't looked inside but it's just a few screws under there. Definitely not an easy swap for a noob or casual RC user is my guess. But I think it's doable for a DIYer who knows what they're doing, I've seen people talk about it on RC message boards and it would be nice to try in the future!

[@derekc6425]

@@irvbikes6440 Pity that no RC manufacturers have a decent ready to run hobby grade F1 car! They'll fly off the shelves for sure !🤩

[@irvbikes6440]

@@derekc6425 I agree! some hobbyists are thinking of getting this to use the upper shell on a hobby-grade chassis. They might be on to something lol.

[@patrikdojcak7876]

How fast cars can drive ?

[@irvbikes6440]

12mph top speed. Fast enough for a toy RC, slow top speed compared to hobby RCs. Not bad for $49.99 and makes it more playable and less prone to damage if there is limited space or if kids are playing with it.

@@irvbikes6440and they look INCREDIBLE!… very scale

[@akura2]

The on-board camera really makes the speed seem scale although these are actually slow… I could see racing these FPV!!
