Radio: Alloy GT, Pro 16 and the off-road models are listed with proportional control; Street 24 is listed as 2.4GHz (range Not confirmed). "Not confirmed" means we have not verified that spec for our exact model or supplied configuration, so we do not guess. Nothing here is independently measured. Specs are manufacturer/retailer-advertised unless stated; every unit is bench-tested before dispatch. A gyro is listed only on the HSTAR D43 Roxy and D43 Skeleton, not on the Alloy GT range as a whole. Reserve means a ₹500 advance, the balance on delivery, shipping in 7 to 10 days, with the dispatch date confirmed on WhatsApp within 2 hours. In-stock units ordered by 2 PM ship the same day.
Pocket 64 (Reaper, Gulf, Shadow) is ₹999 and the Mini Alloy 1:64 is ₹1,199. They are 4WD, charge over Type-C and are small enough to slide across a desk or a tile floor. This is the cheapest way into drifting; it is a pit-stop-sized toy for your desk, not a car for the street. They are on reserve, so expect 7 to 10 days.
Street 24 is our bestseller line: 4WD, gyro-assisted, 2.4GHz control (range Not confirmed), LED lighting and USB charging (battery type and runtime Not confirmed). Muscle Blue (with underglow), Fiber Black and Muscle White are ₹1,799 and in stock, so they ship today if you order by 2 PM. AE86, RX7 Smoke, R35 and Stunt 4WD Smoke Spray are ₹1,499 on reserve. Drift it on smooth, grippy-enough floors: tile, polished concrete, or a parking bay.
Pro 16 (1:16, ₹2,499) has bigger motors, 4WD and full-proportional control. The Night Livery (Drop 001, black-on-gold DTM bodywork, gyro-assisted) and the M4 GT Black are both in stock; speed and runtime are Not confirmed for either. Alloy GT (1:43) trades size for die-cast weight: the flagship D43 GT Alloy Series is ₹3,999, in stock and 4WD, listed with 2 tyre sets (drift and grip; supplier-listed, not yet verified for the exact variant). Gyro on the D43 GT is Not confirmed; only the HSTAR D43 Roxy and Skeleton list one. The D43 Roxy (D43-01Q13) is about 20 km/h (advertised, youcliq.com), and its 3.7V 300mAh LiPo is advertised at 25–35 min per retailer; the Skeleton (D43-01Q16) is 3.7V 300mAh Li-ion, 25–35 min (advertised, vrwholesale.in).
The Hobby 9309E is a 4WD off-roader at ₹4,999; its scale, gyro, speed, battery and runtime are Not confirmed until we check the box and model label. The Suchiyu SCY 18102 (1:18, 4WD) is ₹4,499; online listings conflict on its speed (28 km/h on suchiyu.com, 40 km/h for the brushed version on suchiyutoys.com), and we have not verified either for our unit. Both ship on a 7 to 10 day reserve. Neither is sold as a rock crawler. Crawler-labelled machines such as the JXC LR1801 start at ₹6,999, so there is no honest rock crawler under ₹5,000 in our range.
What you do not give up: a 2.4GHz radio, 4WD on the main picks, spares for every line (tyres, batteries, parts), and a bench test before dispatch. A crash is a pit stop, not the end of your car.
It depends on where you will drive. For drifting on smooth floors, the Street 24 at ₹1,799. For a bigger 1:16 drift car, the Pro 16 Night Livery or M4 GT Black at ₹2,499. For off-road bashing, the Hobby 9309E at ₹4,999 (speed Not confirmed).
Our products are rated for age 14 and up. Adults who want a first hobby-grade car usually start with the Street 24 at ₹1,799 or the Pro 16 at ₹2,499 for drifting, or the Hobby 9309E at ₹4,999 for off-road. All use a 2.4GHz radio.
Yes. The Street 24 (₹1,799), Alloy GT 1:43 cars (from ₹2,499), Pro 16 (₹2,499), Suchiyu SCY 18102 (₹4,499) and Hobby 9309E (₹4,999) are all listed as 4WD.
Yes, many. Desk Drift 1:64 cars start at ₹999, Street 24 gyro drifters start at ₹1,499, Alloy GT 1:43 die-cast drifters run ₹2,499 to ₹3,999, and Pro 16 1:16 drifters are ₹2,499.
We have no verified top speed for any model, and nothing is independently measured. The only advertised figure is about 20 km/h for the HSTAR D43 Roxy (youcliq.com). For the Suchiyu SCY 18102, listings conflict: 28 km/h on suchiyu.com and 40 km/h for the brushed version on suchiyutoys.com; we have not verified either for our unit. Top speed for the other models is Not confirmed.
Most of them (Pocket 64, Alloy GT, Pro 16 and the off-roaders) use a proportional 2.4GHz radio; Street 1:24 cars use a 2.4GHz radio. All are sourced from the same factories hobby brands use, and every unit is bench-tested in Delhi. At this budget they are entry-level hobby cars: we state a brushless motor only on the MJX Hyper Go 14207 and 10306, which cost more than ₹5,000.
Yes. Shipping is free across India, cash on delivery is available, and prices include GST.
