RC Buggy Carson Akuma 4WD 1/8 Brushless RTR green + batteries and charger - 500409082

The Carson Akuma Buggy 4WD 1/8 100% RTR green, reference 500409082 , is a 1/8 scale radio-controlled off-road buggy. This ready-to-run model features 4WD all-wheel drive, a 2050 Kv brushless motor, and electronics designed for up to a 4S battery. Its color-printed body, decorated rear wing, and knobby tires give it a competition-style off-road look.

The 1/8 scale buggy format is designed for uneven surfaces such as hard-packed dirt, gravel, or off-road tracks. Thanks to their low chassis, long suspension, and knobby tires, RC buggies strike a balance between stability, shock absorption, and precise handling. The four-wheel drive system distributes power to the front and rear wheels to assist with acceleration and changes in traction on loose terrain.

The Akuma features a high-torque 2050 Kv brushless motor with an aluminum heatsink. In an electric RC car, the brushless motor converts battery power into rotation to drive the transmission. It works with an electronic speed controller (ESC), in this case a Dragster 100 A with a fan , advertised as 4S compatible and splash-proof. The ESC manages motor control based on commands transmitted by the radio transmitter.

The transmission relies on three steel differentials , positioned at the front, center, and rear. These differentials allow the wheels on the same axle to rotate at different speeds when cornering; the center differential distributes power between the front and rear axles. The drive shafts are made of hardened steel. The buggy also features 17mm aluminum wheel hexes.

The chassis is built around a 3mm aluminum plate . The upper and lower suspension arms are made of reinforced plastic. Four adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers, equipped with knurled nuts, allow for suspension adjustment. The steering system includes an adjustable aluminum plate and a 20kg waterproof servo with metal gears. The off-road tires with large knobs are glued on and fitted with foam inserts.

The three-position adjustable rear wing completes the chassis equipment. The quick-change battery tray with Velcro strap simplifies battery installation. The power connection uses a high-current XT90 connector. Carson claims a top speed of 70 km/h .

This Carson buggy comes fully RTR ( Ready-to-Run) with everything you need to get started: a 2.4 GHz radio system, two 7.4V/3800mAh LiPo vehicle batteries, a compact LiPo charger, four AA batteries for the radio, and an instruction manual. The package also includes an Expert Twin LiPo USB-C charger, capable of simultaneously charging two 7.4V (2S) LiPo batteries at 2A each. The advertised run time is 10 minutes.

For additional batteries specifically designed for this model, the Carson LiPo battery, part number 500608284 , 7.4V and 5000mAh with an XT90 connector, is listed as compatible. The vehicle can also be fitted with the Carson XL 1/8 all-terrain tire set, part number 500900168. The availability of specific Akuma parts, including components for the steering, shock absorbers, battery tray, pinion gear, chassis reinforcements, and 17mm hexes, allows for routine maintenance of the buggy.
