For RC enthusiasts who enjoy realistic scale models and capable off-road performance, the UDIRC UCX1802PRO delivers an impressive combination of licensed styling, brushless power, and advanced crawling features. Officially licensed by Toyota, this 1/18-scale Land Cruiser Prado LC250 faithfully recreates the iconic SUV while offering a feature-rich platform designed for trail driving and rock crawling.
Authentic Toyota Prado Styling
The UCX1802PRO is modeled after the latest Toyota Land Cruiser Prado LC250, featuring a highly detailed body with realistic proportions, molded exterior details, and working LED lighting.
Controllable headlights, taillights, fog lights, and hazard lights enhance the scale realism, making the crawler equally impressive during daytime adventures or nighttime trail runs.
Brushless Power System
Power comes from an 1808 brushless motor paired with a 10A integrated brushless ESC, providing smooth throttle response, greater efficiency, and improved durability compared to brushed systems.
The crawler reaches a maximum speed of approximately 15 km/h, striking a balance between controlled crawling and enjoyable trail driving. A 9g high-speed steering servo delivers precise steering for navigating rocks, roots, and uneven terrain.
Three-Speed Transmission for Every Terrain
One of the UCX1802PRO’s standout features is its mechanical three-speed gearbox.
Drivers can easily switch between:
- Low gear for maximum climbing torque
- Neutral
- High gear for faster trail driving
The transmission also includes reverse, allowing smooth maneuvering in tight spaces and technical obstacles. Combined with permanent 4WD, the drivetrain provides excellent traction across dirt, rocks, gravel, and forest trails.
