Overview

The FTX EVO30 1:10 Brushless Street RTR Car in Black is a ready-to-run RC car that captures the essence of legendary 1980s RWD supercars with modern 4WD technology and brushless performance. This is a superb ready to run RC car for UK enthusiasts who want classic styling combined with contemporary engineering. Whether you're a seasoned RC basher or discovering the world of ready to run RC cars for the first time, the EVO30 delivers impressive straightline speed and drift-ready handling straight out of the box. The brushless RC car arrives 99% ready to run, meaning you'll be racing within minutes of unboxing — simply add four AA batteries to the controller and you're good to go.

What sets this brushless 1:10 RC car apart is its genuine dual-purpose capability. The EVO30 comes with two complete tyre sets: sticky soft-treaded rubber tyres for street racing grip and speed runs, plus hard plastic slick drift tyres for sideways car park action and opposite lock driving. This flexibility means you're not locked into one driving style — swap the tyres to match your mood and location. The modular design philosophy extends throughout, with adjustable suspension that lets you fine-tune handling to suit your preferred tyre choice and driving conditions. Topped off with authentic '80s body styling complete with detailed moulded front grille, light lenses, and multifunction LED lighting, the EVO30 delivers genuine scale presence alongside real RC performance.

Built for durability and speed, this 4WD brushless RC car features a Hobbywing 60A brushless speed control managing a 3300KV Etronix brushless motor, powered by a Voltz 2S LiPo battery that delivers impressive acceleration and top speed. The wide, aerodynamically inspired chassis features a screwless design with rear diffuser for stability at speed, whilst sealed metal-gear differentials front and rear guarantee longevity through repeated bashing sessions. This is a genuine performance ready to run RC car UK hobbyists have been waiting for.

Key Features

• 4WD Shaft-Driven Drivetrain — The EVO30 features shaft-driven 4WD with front CVD universal driveshafts, distributing power evenly across all four wheels for balanced handling whether you're drifting or speed running, whilst the shaft-driven design offers superior reliability compared to belt-driven alternatives.

• FTX 2.4GHz 5-Channel Radio System — Modern 2.4GHz radio eliminates frequency conflicts and provides rock-solid control range, with five channels offering plenty of control options for steering, throttle, and accessories.
• Voltz 2S 2500mAH 30C LiPo Battery — Included LiPo battery provides adequate capacity for extended bashing sessions whilst the 30C discharge rating supports the brushless motor's power demands without voltage sag.
• LiPo Balance Charger Included — The included Etronix balance charger safely charges your 2S battery, extending lifespan and preventing damage through proper cell balancing.

Technical Performance

The FTX EVO30 represents a genuine step forward in ready-to-run RC street cars, combining premium brushless power with adjustable suspension and dual-mode driving capability. At the heart sits the Etronix 3652 3300KV brushless motor, a genuinely potent unit delivering impressive straightline speed whilst the Hobbywing 60-amp brushless ESC manages power delivery with precision, ensuring smooth acceleration whether you're piloting with the soft treaded street tyres for grip-focused driving or swapped to the hard slick drift boots for controlled sideways action. The 1:10 scale delivers the sweet spot between manoeuvrability and durability — compact enough for car park sessions yet substantial enough to handle sustained high-speed running. The shaft-driven 4WD system with CVD front driveshafts and sealed metal-gear differentials represents professional-grade engineering throughout, designed to withstand aggressive driving without premature wear or differential failure. Oil-filled shock absorbers working alongside the double-wishbone suspension framework and adjustable anti-roll bars give you genuine setup depth — you're not just driving the EVO30, you're tuning it to match your preferences and conditions. The wide, screwless aero-inspired chassis with integrated rear diffuser manages airflow intelligently, providing stability during high-speed runs whilst the moulded bumpers and detailed scale body protect components. Powered by the included Voltz 2S 2500mAH LiPo battery delivering 2S power (7.4 nominal volts), you'll enjoy spirited performance throughout the charge cycle. The adjustable gyro receiver adds another dimension, letting you dial in subtle handling characteristics that transform how the car responds to your inputs mid-corner. This is engineering designed for bashers who want precision alongside performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the FTX EVO30 suitable for beginners and intermediate RC drivers? — Yes, absolutely. The EVO30 is rated as Skill Level 2, making it ideal for drivers progressing beyond complete-beginner models. The ready-to-run format means you can start driving within minutes, whilst the adjustable suspension, gyro control option and dual tyre sets offer genuine depth for intermediate drivers wanting to develop their skills. The straightforward layout and robust construction make it forgiving enough for learning whilst remaining capable enough to keep you engaged as your driving improves.
• What's the difference between using the street tyres versus the drift tyres on the EVO30? — The soft-treaded rubber street tyres (25mm front, 30mm rear) are designed for maximum grip and are ideal for high-speed running and competitive racing where you want the car planted and predictable. The hard plastic slick drift tyres mounted on 6-spoke wheels reduce traction intentionally, allowing the car to break traction controllably for drifting and opposite-lock driving in car parks or open spaces. You can swap between them depending on where and how you want to drive — it's literally a tyre change, no setup adjustment needed.
• What battery does the EVO30 need and how long does it run? — The car comes with a Voltz 2S 2500mAH LiPo battery providing 7.4 nominal volts. The 2500mAH capacity gives you a reasonable runtime — typically 15-25 minutes depending on driving style, with more aggressive throttle input reducing duration. The included Etronix balance charger safely recharges the battery, and we recommend having a spare charged battery available for extended sessions. The controller requires four AA batteries, which we stock separately.
• Can I adjust the handling of the EVO30 to suit my driving style? — Yes, the EVO30 offers genuine adjustability. The oil-filled shock absorbers are adjustable, allowing you to tune spring rates and damping to your preference. The front and rear anti-roll bars help you dial in cornering balance. Most importantly, the gyro-enabled receiver can be adjusted to fine-tune drifting and opposite-lock handling characteristics at speed, letting you personalise exactly how the car responds. Different tyre choices also dramatically alter handling — this isn't a one-setup car.
• Why does the EVO30 use 4WD if it's inspired by RWD supercars? — Whilst the styling honours classic 1980s RWD supercars, modern 4WD engineering actually delivers superior handling balance, traction and stability — particularly important when you're choosing between soft-grip street tyres and slippery drift rubber. The 4WD system with sealed differentials and shaft drive provides reliability and predictability that pure RWD would struggle to match in a ready-to-run platform. You get the aesthetic of the '80s with the engineering sophistication of modern RC.
• Is the EVO30 waterproof and can I drive it in wet conditions? — The servo is specified as waterproof, which provides some protection against moisture. However, the electronics and motor are not fully submersible, so we recommend avoiding deep water crossings or heavy rain. Light splashing during normal driving in damp conditions should be fine, but you should dry the car after any wet session and avoid submerging the battery or ESC.
• What makes the FTX EVO30 different from other ready-to-run 1/10 RC cars? — The combination of dual tyre sets, genuine adjustable suspension, sealed metal-gear differentials, professional brushless electronics and gyro-capable receiver sets it apart from basic ready-to-run cars. Most RTR models arrive in one configuration; the EVO30 gives you flexibility to tune suspension, adjust gyro settings and swap between completely different driving modes without additional purchases. The aerodynamic chassis design and authentic '80s styling add real character that many competitor cars lack.
