Technical Performance
The Syncro-4 delivers impressive technical performance that belies its budget-friendly positioning. Powered by the Kuron 725 brushless motor (2150KV, 4-pole sensorless design) operating through a Torox 135 ESC capable of handling 3-4S LiPo batteries, this RC buggy achieves top speeds exceeding 80 km/h (50+ mph). The motor is precision CNC machined with hardened steel pinion, paired with a 46T steel powder-metallurgy spur gear, delivering an internal drive ratio of 3.31 and an overall drive ratio of 11.71. The transmission employs steel outdrives with complete hard-coated construction, extra surface hardened steel front CVD joints, and aerospace-quality 8x16x5mm rubber-sealed ball bearings throughout the drivetrain for maximum efficiency and longevity. The chassis is constructed from premium 3mm 6061-T6 aluminium with anodised titanium finish, reinforced with an ultra-rigid hybrid brace system combining moulded composite and aluminium components. At 3400 grammes without battery, the Syncro-4 offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Suspension geometry mirrors Team Corally's proven 6S lineup with independent pillow ball front suspension and independent double wishbone rear suspension, whilst the oil-filled threaded 16mm composite big bore shocks with locking spring perches provide consistent damping. The vehicle measures 515mm in length, 185mm in height, with a 327mm wheelbase and 308mm front and rear track, achieving 50mm ground clearance. All drivetrain ball bearings meet aerospace quality standards at 8x16x5mm dimensions, contributing to smooth, efficient power delivery and extended component lifespan. The full ball bearing specification across suspension and drivetrain, combined with three sealed differentials individually tuned with silicone oil, ensures that even aggressive bashing won't compromise performance or durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Corally Syncro-4 suitable for beginners? — Yes, the Syncro-4 is specifically designed with beginners in mind. It arrives ready to run (RTR) with no assembly required, features a user-friendly 2.4GHz radio with a 50%-100% power switch allowing you to limit throttle response whilst learning, and the skill level rating is beginner-friendly. The suspension geometry and drivetrain have been refined to provide predictable, forgiving handling that rewards smooth inputs. The rubberised sealed bearings and sealed differentials mean beginners won't need to worry about constant maintenance, whilst the reinforced construction can withstand the inevitable crashes that come with learning.
- What battery does the Corally Syncro-4 need? — The Syncro-4 requires a 3S or 4S LiPo battery (not included). The Torox 135 ESC is rated for 2-4S LiPo compatibility, meaning you can use either 11.1V (3S) or 14.8V (4S) LiPo batteries. The 4S option will deliver maximum performance and top speed. The battery compartment measures 161 x 51 x 38mm and features an XL adjustable holder that accommodates all common LiPo battery sizes. 4S LiPo batteries will provide higher speeds (80+ km/h is achievable with 4S), whilst 3S LiPo offers more modest speeds and longer runtime per charge, making it suitable for beginners.
- How fast does the Corally Syncro-4 go? — The Syncro-4 is capable of speeds exceeding 80 km/h (50+ mph) when powered by a 4S LiPo battery. The Kuron 725 brushless motor (2150KV) combined with the Torox 135 ESC and 46T spur / 13T motor pinion gearing delivers impressive acceleration and top speed suitable for both casual bashing and competitive driving. With a 3S battery, speeds will be modestly lower, typically in the 60-70 km/h range, still plenty for enjoyable bashing on grass, dirt, and rough terrain.
- Is the Syncro-4 waterproof? — The Syncro-4 features splash-proof and dustproof electronics compartment protection, and the new electronic box includes a splash-proof and dustproof design. However, it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged or driven through deep water. Light rain and splashes during normal bashing are fine, but you should avoid intentional water crossings or submersion in water.
- What is included in the box and what do I need to add? — The Syncro-4 is a complete ready to run package including the vehicle, brushless motor, ESC, servo, and 2.4GHz radio transmitter. What is not included are the LiPo battery, battery charger, and transmitter batteries (four AA alkalines). You will also want to purchase a LiPo safety charging sack and battery connector cables to complete your setup.
- How does the Syncro-4 compare to other 1/8 scale bashers? — The Syncro-4 stands out through its exceptional value proposition, combining proven components from Team Corally's flagship 6S models with fresh, cost-effective engineering. The 80%+ parts compatibility with legacy models ensures an extensive spare parts network and upgrade potential. The hybrid aluminium and composite construction, three sealed differentials, and aerospace-grade bearings deliver durability rivalling vehicles costing significantly more. The inclusion of the CT2S 2.4GHz radio system with learning mode power switch gives beginners a gentler learning curve, whilst the brushless performance and reinforced construction appeal to experienced bashers.
- Can I upgrade components on the Syncro-4? — Yes, Team Corally has engineered the Syncro-4 with extensive upgrade potential. Many components, such as suspension arms, steering blocks, and rear hubs, are shared with or compatible with the proven 6S lineup, meaning you can gradually upgrade your vehicle with higher-performance components as desired. The motor can be swapped with fixed positions for 13T, 15T, or 17T pinion gears without modification, allowing you to tune performance to your preferences or terrain. An extensive range of official Corally tuning parts is available for further customisation.
- What is the difference between the blue Syncro-4 and other colour options? — The Syncro-4 is available in four colour schemes: blue, red, green, and orange. The performance and specifications are identical across all colour options; the difference is purely aesthetic, allowing you to choose your preferred livery.
- How much does the Syncro-4 weigh? — The Syncro-4 weighs 3400 grammes without a battery installed. This weight excludes the LiPo battery you will add, meaning the typical total weight during operation will be approximately 3600-3800 grammes depending on battery selection (3S or 4S).
- What is the radio system range? — The CT2S 2.4GHz radio system provides an impressive range exceeding 200 metres, plenty for open-field bashing or track driving. The 2.4GHz frequency provides interference-free operation, and the system includes dual-rate steering and servo reverse functionality for fine-tuning your driving experience.
