Since I’m going to introduce the LDRC 1801/AE86 remote control car, I’ll start by introducing you to the brand! Since its inception, the LDRC brand has been committed to innovation and quality, with a wide range of products ranging from entry-level RC cars that are best suited for beginners to high-end RC cars that will satisfy the most discerning enthusiasts. The LDRC 1801/AE86 RC car, in particular, is popular for its realistic look that mimics the iconic Toyota AE86 and its reliable performance on a variety of terrains.

As a player who tends to like playing small RC cars, I am here to introduce you to the LDRC 1801/AE86. many players are curious about its performance, at first when I received it I liked its appearance very much, very exquisite, similar to the Toyota AE86. I have been playing with this car for about a week, and I would like to introduce you to the performance of some of the original parts of it.
180 Transmission
Why the 180 transmission in the first place? Because I didn’t know at first how useful a transmission could be. I thought it was just an ordinary accessory. Later on, my friend Joe told me that the gearbox is able to change the speed of the RC car and can help your RC car can be faster or slower. Normally I love to play some RC cars, but not as much as my friend Joe. In order for me to get familiar with RC cars faster, Joe often takes me out to play. Last Sunday I took my LD1801/AE86 RC car to his house and he showed me the charm of gearbox.
In my experience, the 180 transmission truly shines when you’re navigating different terrains. On flat surfaces, it effortlessly propels the car forward at high speeds. But when you hit a slope or a rough patch, the transmission adjusts the torque distribution, ensuring the wheels maintain grip. However, like any mechanical component, it’s not without its vulnerabilities.
The 180 gearbox for the LDRC 1801/AE86 RC car looks like this:

Being that even seasoned riders encounter some hidden problems, let alone new players.
I’ve encountered it once! The first time I played it, I just turned the throttle to the fastest and ended up hitting a rock on the road, and after that I always felt that the speed wasn’t as fast as the first time I drove it, even if I had the throttle turned up to the max. I then went to ask my good friend Joe what was going on. He said did it hit is something? I said yes, I flipped the car after hitting a rock in the road. He said it’s the gears inside the transmission that are misaligned from the collision that’s causing you to be slow going uphill. Just adjust the gears inside the transmission and you’ll be fine.
Three – Channel Remote Control
Speaking of this 3-channel remote control, the most anticipated feature of the LDRC LD1801/AE86 RC car is its one-button light flip. It is to flip the light cover of the car to illuminate the light. The first time I used it, I was dazzled. I even bragged about it when I went out with my friends at night. Playing down this week, I found a problem that the battery compartment of LDRC LD1801/AE86 RC car is loosely designed. I remember once I was racing around the park to my heart’s content when suddenly the remote control in my hand stopped responding! I looked down and realized that the battery indicator had been out for a long time. As a result, my AE86 lost control and crashed into a tree, cracking the front bumper! I later realized that the battery compartment of this remote control is a bit loosely designed. The batteries are prone to poor contact during intense maneuvers. This is just one of the problems I ran into.
Another time, a friend borrowed it to play with and accidentally dropped the remote on the floor. When I picked it up, I found that the arrow keys were stuck, and it always turned to the right when controlling the car. When I opened it up, it turned out that the solder joints on the circuit board had fallen off due to the fall. Later, I bought a protective cover specifically for the remote control.Now, it has been dropped several times without any problems.
If you’re looking for a remote control handle protection, check it out below, I bought this one:

That’s what I did after I installed it. Let’s show the players.

In terms of maintenance, I wipe the gaps between the keys with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol every week to prevent dust buildup. Rechargeable batteries need to be deeply discharged periodically, otherwise battery life will be affected.
Also, if you always play outdoors, always remember to keep your remote indoors, as the heat can cause plastic parts to deteriorate when the remote is left outdoors in the sun for long periods of time. That’s how my throttle stick became stiff.
FAQ:
I’ve told you about the problems I would normally have, so it’s only fair to tell you how I’d fix those things too.
LDRC LD1801/AE86 is prone to poor battery contact during intense maneuvers, what should I do?
This is also have a recent problem, I recently came up with a new method, is that every time I go to play with the car, I bring two spare batteries, and also put a small piece of paper in the battery compartment to reinforce it. This will ensure that the batteries will not have poor contact when you are motivated to operate.
Why does my 3-channel remote suddenly lose signal during a race?
This happened to me at the track last weekend! One minute I was drifting and then suddenly my AE86 started going off course. Turns out, my neighbor’s new Wi-Fi router was interfering with the 2.4GHz signal. What a headache! Next time, I’ll be sure to check for signal interference.
Gyroscope
After introducing the 3-channel remote control, I’m going to tell new players about the gyroscope.
I haven’t even done much research on the gyroscope and haven’t taken it apart to look at it. Just know that it controls the car to keep it balanced in turns. During my first high speed drift, I felt the car automatically adjusting its balance in a turn like I had a professional driver in my cockpit! This little sensor keeps the car stable by detecting body lean and correcting for wheel spin in real time.
While playing around recently, my LDRC LD1801/AE86 started flopping wildly around corners while traveling on a rough gravel road. I didn’t understand what was going on at first, so I asked my friend, who helped me take the RC car out and found that the internal sensor for the gyroscope had been jolted by the vibration. That’s when I first learned what happens when there’s a problem with the gyroscope.
My friend also told me that the gyroscope is waterproof, but gyroscopes can damage the sensor if exposed to moisture for a long time. So now, I will tape the edges of the gyro all the way around the week to avoid water from getting in while I’m cleaning the RC car.
FAQ:
As a new player, how do you maintain the gyroscope in your daily life?
I think the first one is to avoid putting the gyroscope in a hot or humid environment, because it is easy for some parts in the gyroscope to rust or melt.
The second is to check the screws frequently for looseness. You can actually drop screw glue to keep the screws secure.
