Stupendous R/C Car In A Decent Scale - 1:14 Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta Review

Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta is one of the classic diecast model cars in RASTAR. Mr Magdy has introduced his collection of Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta to us.Now it is in hot sale in our store!


Before Ferrari would go turbocharging their 458 replacement, the 488, Ferrari made the 458 Speciale Aperta, a convertible version of the hardcore 458 Speciale. With production limited to only 499 cars, they’d made it a rare collectors’ car.

So this is the last mid-engined Ferrari with a naturally aspirated V8. The last hurrah. As every supercar manufacturer is going with forced inductions, don’t expect that Ferrari is going to make an NA V8 engined car anytime soon.(Yes. EU emission regulations....)


Yeah. You’re a model car collector and a car enthusiast just like me. Or just a Ferrari fan. So you want to have a 458 Speciale Aperta model car, for playing or collecting. Whatever. What if you don’t want a small die-cast which is the same size as a mouse? What if you want an R/C car in a good scale that you can play it with a remote control within a good range and has some cool features?


Rastar has a solution for you. They make the awesome 458 Speciale Aperta in 1:14 scale. The R/C runs on five 1.5V batteries or you can have one with USB charging option. The remote control needs a 9V battery. It’s available in red and yellow.


There are two versions of this thing. One comes with a horn. You can tap the middle of the steering to use it. And the other version is a completely working convertible R/C car. I cancelled my order of the first one and then ordered the latter.

The NART stripe looks awesome. Mine’s a red one so it looks even better with that. The steering moves. It is not attached to the front wheels though. There are ‘458 Speciale A’ writings on the dashboard on the passenger’s side and on the rear bumper. There are some fake stitchings (Just silver linings) on the dashboard too! And the brake calipers have ‘Ferrari’ written on them.


There’s a button on the remote control which makes it distinct from the other R/C cars on the market. You tap the button and the roof opens or closes. This feature makes it a working convertible. Cool, huh? Probably the only convertible R/C car in existence. (Don’t kill me if there’s another one.) It only takes 20 seconds to open and close the roof. For such a little toy car, this is astonishing.

No. It wouldn’t marmalize a nitro fueled R/C in a drag race. Though it’s not rampant fast, it’s decent enough as a toy. It looks dainty. Exquisite detailing, great build quality, decent scale and above all, it’s a convertible. I couldn’t ask for more.

RASTAR 1:14 LaFerrari R/C car review

Image
This is a review from our customer,Alif Mohammad Magdy. He is a RC car lovers and Rastar Fan.  Everyone knows about the latest hybrid-hyper car from Ferrari, the LaFerrari. It’s the finest creation from Maranello so far. We, the petrolheads dream about this car, don’t we? Now we can get the car in our hands, in 1:14 scale. Rastar, a remote control car manufacturer, made an R/C version of this car. It looks almost real, just the roaring V12 is missing in this thing. Let’s talk about this R/C car now. As I’ve told before it’s a 1/14 scale one. You need five 1.5v batteries to run this stunning looking thing. Top speed is 8-10 km/h if you run it on a smoother surface with some good quality batteries. I never ran it on the ground as I was afraid to damage it. So it’s sitting with other 6 Ferraris in my R/C collection. This Rastar manufactured remote controlled LaFerrari is a beautiful thing to own. If you’re a Ferrari fan and toy car collector, don’t be la...

RASTAR Pagani Zonda R, you should not miss this!

Image
The Pagani Zonda R is the ultimate Zonda made for track. It has a 6.0-liter AMG V12 engine that produces 740 horsepower, top speed is 218 mph and it’s limited to only 15 cars. It became the fastest car at the Nürburgring in 2010 by beating the Ferrari 599XX’s lap time by 11 seconds. Ungodly sounding naturally aspirated V12 engine, carbon fiber bodywork, very lightweight chassis, slick tires made the Zonda R a masterpice. Even though Rastar just released this Zonda R remote control car in 1:14 scale, I’ve had it for more than 4 years because it was made by Mondo Motors who are the Italian distributors of Rastar products. So, it’s the same car made by same materials, but comes in a different packaging. That’s it. Well, as you can clearly see, it doesn’t have an interior. No seats, no steering wheel, no dashboard. Nothing. Just black windows which can’t be seen through. So, it isn’t that well detailed on the inside. Let’s move on to the exterior then. When I ordere...
