Crawler, Drifter, Buggy: what’s the difference?

The world of remote controlled cars is a world of differences. Some bet on speed, others on off-road capability. Which one suits you?
Crawler
When it comes to driving, Crawlers come the closest to real cars. They’re extremely flexible when it comes to terrain, and their gear reduction makes them on any inclination. Their all-wheel drive helps them to cross even rough terrain effortlessly. Compared to the other RC cars, however, Crawlers are rather slow.
You can also individualise many of these crawlers in any way you can think of. From winches to roof racks to lighting or simulated sound. The only limit is your imagination. Or your wallet, as some of these products can quickly become a drain on your funds. You can find our RC car accessories here.
Racers
Racers, or flat trackers, are the [fastest vehicles] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aKaezb_3Dg) on show here. Thanks to their aerodynamic surface and the small distance between them and the ground, these RC cars are extremely manoeuvrable. They are therefore ideal for competitions on dedicated racetracks.
Depending on the model, these vehicles have two-wheel or all-wheel drive, which transmits the power via belts or a cardan shaft. Depending on the weather or the state of the ground, you can mount different tyres on these models. Nothing will be able to hold a candle to your speed.
