I just bought the 1:18 scale rastar RedBull and W11 Mercedes thanks to your video reviews. I kinda wish I got a 1:12 but the 1:18 were $35 at K-Mart so I thought I'd give em a shot. Can say they are a really awesome little model with great detail. The W11 is a bit quicker in a drag race compared to the Redbull because the W11 is actually a smaller and lighter car....., thats why the Mercedes W11 looks smaller, because it is actually smaller in real life ;) Hoping to get a quicker motor for the models as they are a bit underpowered. !!!
One thing you could do is loosen the screw that attaches the wheel turning system. It worked for me. Also yes you should buy if you like f1 it’s a really fun toy and I recommend
Nice to see another good looking bald auto model reviewer. I knew that I wasn't alone. I'm new to collecting F1 and have never heard of Rastar. Now that I see that they are remote controlled I know why....Still haven't seen them at my local hobby shop. If you're not buying for remote capabilities, might want to look at BBurago. Good detail and not expensive. I don't know that they have any models in 1/12 scale.
Yeah, I just kind of Stumbled upon these. I have some 1/18th Diecast in storage, they're hot wheels I believe. I do have a BBurago as well, not sure the scale but it's a small one.
So theres a 2 year delay on them updating these. RB18 is from 2022, so the 19 was 2023, and now in 24 we have the RB20. 2026 regs undergo a massive change and it'll look massively different but we'll see it in 2028 is my guess. I got this for my 3yr old who loves Max and Lando. How slow it is is a positive for him to learn on.
Building one is the best option, and yes, you can use the body off that cheap toy Building your own or buying a hobby Grade is our of thos world. You will never touch a toy after this experience. All pro hobby shops will sell you the list of parts below. 1/10 or 1/8 scale Motor, 3500kv $50 ESC, 100 AMPS, $70 Car chassis, and body $100. Remote... you choose. Pinion and spur gear, you choose. A kit will advise you. Speed...35mph up to 70mph and beyond. depending on the wheels, tyres, and final setup
Nice vid man, I have the Mclaren. Like you said these babies are purely for display and look great.
Couldn't agree more!

Thanks for watching. I didn't even think that the Mercedes was actually smaller in real life!

a hope to collect all the f1 series rastar, i plan to buy the rb18 first
They are worth the money for the looks alone. I am hoping they will releases more.

The Merc must be the old car with 13" rims, not the 18" of the new cars.
They have an RB19 1:10 scale RC car at Costco for $50 bucks
Unfortunately not in South Korean Costco's

I just got one and it doesn’t have that controller. The steering is way better than that.
got one too ... reciving it in a few weeks! (tamiya have the F104 pro 2 good for the money but it's 1/10 scale)
I was thinking about getting a 1/10 scale Tamiya as well
Yo this comes with a helmet ? Just got one for my son and didn’t even know it came with one 😮
Did you get it from Tamiya Website? Can you please tell me the link if available? Even the model name would also be helpful
No, it’s not Tamiya. It’s from a company called Rastar. RB18 F1 is what it’s called
Which scale is this?
Mind if you could share the link where you bought it?

The Mercedes is actually smaller in real life because its on “older” generation car, they were smaller

Thanks for the info. Im debating on getting a kit, maybe x ray. I'd just hate to spend that much money for it to sit on the shelf though.
Question for you do you live in South Korea
Yep
Maybe change the Motor, stronger accu, a servo for Smooth turns am a better remote. This thing will be fun.
yeah, ill pick up another one to crack open to see what can be done.
@@2toFlyHobbiesi would love a guide on how to take one apart as well if you are able to make that
RC J22
Just wish they weren’t so pricey!
I think I paid like $60 for it.

Very nice. I have the mclaren. I did a video. I might upgrade the motor. Check it out. This one is good that it has its own battery
You bought the wrong car my man lol
Ha...never cared for RedBulleither...but I am a F1 fan and couldn't pass this up.
