iBlivers Spider RC Drift Car, 1:14 Monster Truck Remote Control Drift Car with Full Proportional Throttle 4WD GT Drift RC Cars with Cool Light Vehicle RC Drifting Cars Gifts Toy for Adults Boys Kids

For the price I was pleasantly surprised by how good this car is my son has had hours of fun.

Great little car for the money and a lot of fun.

The media could not be loaded. This is my first radio controlled drift car so I wasn’t sure what to expect and have nothing to compare it with. My only experience of drift racing has been through computer games like Dirt 5 and a few other flat screen racing games. Not the same thing!There’s everything you need in the box to get going except a three AAA batteries for the remote. There are two rechargeable battery packs included which are charged up through a short USB cable which flash red and green as the battery is charged.Also included, is a mini screwdriver to easily remove the flaps/panels to install the batteries. However, I found this quite fiddly and it didn’t take long for me to lose the car’s battery compartment screw and then the screw on the controller soon became difficult to remove. As you change the car battery quite often I feel a simpler method could have been used.There are some small plastic ‘traffic’ cones in the pack along with some fat tyres to change for different situations.The car shell is extremely lightweight and the livery is an eye-catching red and black colour scheme. When you turn the car on there’s some funky lights including bright LED headlights. The controller is very light. There’s a throttle for backwards and forwards movement and a large wheel to turn the car wheels left and right. The controls are quite sensitive and need a light touch. A bit of practice is required to get the car to move as you want. The range is quite good.The speed is great and the response of transmission means there’s plenty of scope to play around to do donuts or make a sweeping curve.Fun for all ages. Apart from the fiddly battery arrangement, recommended.

Good

Goodncar for the price. Kids loved

Rubbish! Controller and car wouldn’t connect to each other all the time so car would not respond

The media could not be loaded. This 1/14scale iBlivers RC Drift car is effectively the big brother to the 1/24 scale version from iBlivers which I also have. Everything is pretty much the same, just bigger.The size and speed of this 1/24 version mean that its best suited to larger spaces indoors or out, where it works on pretty much any surface, rough or smooth.You get everything you need including two battery packs, meaning one can be charging whilst the other is in use, two sets of wheels/tyres (one set slick, one set with tread) and some mini cones that you can drive around. All you need to provide is three (not two as stated in the description) AA batteries for the controller.Unlike the smaller version, this car comes with all of the artwork/decoration already on it, so you don’t have to mess around applying stickers/transfers. The attractive red and black spiderman bodywork is further enhanced by the fact that the car’s body is translucent, so that lights inside the car light it up. The lightweight bodywork can be unclipped and lifted off, possibly because the manufacturers are considering offering replacements and/or alternative designs?To add to the overall effect and look of the car there bright LED headlights that are on all the time that the car is powered up.The trigger throttle and side steering wheel are nice and responsive and make it easy to regulate the power going to the car. This is useful because the top speed of the car is pretty fast so it is nice to be able to start at lower speeds until you become more accustomed to the controls and handling of the car.There is just one thing to watch out for:The USB A connector on the charging lead is a really tight fit, so you may wish to avoid plugging into a PC, laptop or similar to charge, in case it damages the socket.This car is great fun to play with and is likely to appeal to kids of all ages. Currently selling at just under twenty-four pounds I think it’s great value too.

While the car itself isn’t made to the highest standards and the controller feels a bit plasticky and cheap, the fun factor more than makes up for it!Build Quality: The materials and overall construction aren’t particularly impressive, and the controller feels like it might not last very long. However, despite these shortcomings, the car holds up well enough for some great playtime fun.Performance: Where this car really shines is on a hard surface—it's all about the drifting! The smooth wheels make it easy to pull off satisfying drifts, and trying to perfect your technique quickly becomes addictive. It's a great way to test your driving skills indoors.Battery Life: The car comes with two batteries, offering around 30-35 minutes of playtime. This means you get plenty of practice before needing to recharge, which is ideal for mastering those drifts.Conclusion: Despite its somewhat cheap build, this drift car is an absolute blast to play with, especially on hard floors. If you’re looking for something fun and engaging rather than top-tier quality, this car is worth it for the entertainment value alone. Perfect for those who love the challenge of perfecting their drifts!
