THE S-RC

GEN. 1

Formula-RC

From £234 (£170 for teams)

The Highlights

First of an Era

The S-RC Gen.1 Formula-RC is the first vehicle developed for the S-RC Cup, and approved by IRMA (International Radio Motorsport Authority). Own a piece of history in the making.

Precision Handling

Multi-Axis Suspension and Ackermann Steering for precision handling feel.

Race-Focused Aero

Adjustable Rear Wing + Front wing design for added aerodynamic downforce. Performance bodyshell designed to shape the flow of air around the car.

Engineered for Performance

With a Carbon Fibre baseplate, Lexan Bodyshell, Metal axle, ball differential and more, the Gen.1 is designed to perform on the racetrack.

Championship Proven

As the official spec car of the Season 1 S-RC Cup RC Motorsport Championship, the Gen.1 is raced by drivers across the UK and proven on track.

A Platform for STEM

Make the Gen.1 your own! Use the car as a base to modify and upgrade your racecar to suit your style.

Official Car of the Championship

The S-RC Gen.1 isn’t just built to perform — it’s built to prove itself. Teams that line up on the grid at the S-RC Cup will race this exact platform, tuned and refined by student engineers from across the UK. Designed for competition, precision, and learning, the Gen.1 brings professional-grade engineering to a 1:10 scale, turning classrooms into pit lanes and young minds into race engineers.

Designed for Learning.

The S-RC Gen.1 isn’t just a car you drive — it’s one you develop.
Built with fully adjustable suspension, drivetrain, and aero, it lets students learn real race-engineering principles through hands-on setup changes.

Teams can fine-tune camber, toe, ride height, gearing, and even weight balance to feel how each change transforms handling — exactly like tuning a Formula 1 car, but at 1:10 scale.

Every choice affects lap time, stability, and grip. Every test teaches something new.
It’s not a toy. It’s a race lab in miniature.

Built for Performance.

Forget what you think an RC car is.
The Gen.1 isn’t a plastic toy built for living room floors — it’s a precision-engineered racing machine. Every component, from its carbon-reinforced chassis to its oil-filled shocks and high-torque powertrain, is designed for pure performance.

It’s fast, responsive, and brutally capable — tuned for real racetracks, not playgrounds.
The same physics that govern Formula 1 handling apply here: aerodynamics, weight balance, traction, and grip. Teams learn what real engineers obsess over — because this car demands to be treated like one.

The Gen.1 doesn’t play. It competes.

Raced for Real.

The Gen.1 doesn’t just look like a Formula car — it drives like one.
Every movement, every correction, every millimetre of steering input matters. The chassis reacts instantly, the tires load up through corners, and the suspension comes alive under braking.

You don’t just race it — you feel it.
Precision, feedback, and control, all in a car small enough to fit on a desk yet engineered to handle like it belongs on a circuit.

It’s motorsport, scaled down — but never watered down.

Teams Kit

Built for schools competing in the S-RC Cup, the Teams Kit gives your students everything they need to engineer, tune, and race — except the body shell.
Why? Because design is part of the challenge. Teams must create their own bodywork from scratch, using any material or method they choose, applying real aerodynamic and structural principles.

Each kit includes:

The S-RC Gen.1 Formula-RC car chassis, fully assembled and ready to configure
2 high-performance Li-Ion race batteries
2 fast chargers for rapid pit-stop battery swaps
RC Pistol Grip Controller

Engineered for competition. Finished by you.

Kickstarter Kit

The Kickstarter Edition is the full S-RC Gen.1 experience, made for enthusiasts, makers, and future engineers.
Unlike the Teams Kit, it includes a pre-moulded aerodynamic body shell, ready to race — so you can hit the track faster while still learning the fundamentals of setup and performance tuning.
