As a "veteran" who has been addicted to remote control model cars for ten years, when I first picked up the RGT EX86100, the collision of the metal texture and simulation details from my fingertips instantly made me dream back to the time when I was a teenager in the model shop looking up at the collection of cars through the glass cabinet.
The exterior design of the RGT EX86100 can be called "detail control ecstasy". The car body adopts a separate injection molding process, from the JEEP iconic seven-hole air intake grille to the rivet details of the door handle, and even the rearview mirror, the curved surface of the real vehicle is reproduced. What's even more outrageous is that the fabric texture of the interior seats is clearly visible. This kind of "seeing the big from the small" skill makes some thousand-yuan car models feel embarrassed?
Unboxing, you can see that the RGT EX86100 comes with a standard 110mm diameter MT tire with a 1.9-inch wheel hub, and the tread pattern depth is 3mm, which is comparable to a magnet in grip on gravel roads. The front anti-collision beam is made of stainless steel with a thickness of 2mm. After hitting the rock, it was measured that only shallow scratches were left. And the metal winch that supports 90cm steel wire stretching made me amazed by my teammates in the field rescue scene.
What are the highlights of the RGT EX86100 four-wheel drive performance test?
Powertrain: a contradiction between violence and precision
- The 550 17T brushed motor equipped with the RGT EX86100 seems "mediocre", but with the WP-1040 brushed electric speed controller, it can output astonishing torque. In low gear mode, the vehicle can accurately climb a 45° slope at a speed of 5km/h, and after switching to high gear, the straight-line acceleration push-back feeling is comparable to that of a 1:10 sports car. In actual testing, the full throttle state can break through 30km/h in 3 seconds (equivalent to 120km/h for a 1:1 model). This "quiet as a virgin and fast as a rabbit" switch can be called a "two-faced man" in the climbing car industry.
Suspension system: the magic of hydraulic shock absorbers
- The CNC aluminum alloy coilover shock absorber of RGT EX86100 supports 20-stage damping adjustment, which can filter out 80% of vibration on gravel roads and provide sufficient support when cornering at high speed. The most amazing thing is the solid metal 8-link structure. After experiencing continuous rollovers, the tie rod ball head has no deformation at all. This degree of durability is perfect.
Control experience: the magic of pointing and hitting
- RGT EX86100 comes standard with a 6-channel 2.4G remote control, which supports high and low speed mode switching and DIG rear axle locking. In complex terrain, the front and rear axle power distribution can be adjusted in real time through the lever on the remote control. In actual measurements, under cross-axle road conditions, the vehicle can easily get out of trouble after locking the rear axle. This "four-wheel drive free switching" experience even surpasses some professional climbing vehicles.
What are the cost-effectiveness advantages of RGT EX86100 RC CAR?
- Power system: Models of the same price generally use 380 motors, while the torque of the 550 motor of EX86100 is increased by 40%;
- Suspension system: Imported brands generally use plastic connecting rods, while EX86100 comes standard with metal 8-link rods;
- Electronic equipment: 6-channel remote control vs. the common 4-channel imported cars, supporting more extended functions.
What are the characteristics of the original parts battery of RGT EX86100 RC CAR?
- The original standard 7.2V 2000mAh Ni-MH battery has a battery life of 25 minutes, while imported cars of the same price generally only have a 15-minute battery. What's more conscientious is that the vehicle supports direct replacement of 3S LiPo batteries, which can increase the top speed to 40km/h without modification. This "playability reserve" design reduces the cost of later upgrades by 50%.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of RGT EX86100 original parts and upgraded parts?
- High cost performance and strong durability: Affordable price, metal drive shaft and CNC aluminum alloy shock absorbers ensure durability and are suitable for complex terrain.
- Rich details and high simulation: Front anti-collision, door handle rivets and other details are in place, suitable for collection and display.
- Limited performance and high noise: The speed and torque of the brushed motor are limited, and the noise is obvious during operation, which affects the user experience.
- Significantly improved performance: The brushless motor and intelligent electric speed controller greatly improve the speed and torque to meet the needs of competition.
- Quieter operation: Brushless motors have low noise and are suitable for use at night or in quiet environments.
- High cost and complex maintenance: Upgraded parts are expensive, and metal parts increase the weight of the vehicle, requiring regular lubrication and debugging, which increases the difficulty of maintenance.
Summary
RGT EX86100 is a great collection for simulation model enthusiasts and a performance weapon for off-road players. Despite the minor regrets of motor noise and accessory ecology, its cross-level configuration, violent performance and affordable price are enough to set a new benchmark for 1:10 climbing vehicles.
