Technical Performance
The Syncro-2 is engineered to deliver impressive performance whilst maintaining the durability needed for enthusiastic driving. Powered by the Kuron 725 brushless motor running at 2150KV, connected to the PULSE G2 135 ESC, this 1/8 scale buggy achieves a top speed of 80 km/h using 3S or 4S LiPo batteries. The brushless drivetrain offers several advantages over brushed alternatives: higher efficiency means longer runtime, smoother power delivery translates to better control, and minimal maintenance requirements keep your RC car UK-ready for consistent performance. The internal drive ratio of 3.31 combined with a 13-tooth motor pinion and 46-tooth spur gear produces an overall drive ratio of 11.71, carefully calculated to deliver responsive acceleration and impressive top speed. The chassis is constructed from 3mm aluminium 6061-T6 alloy with colour-anodised finish, providing rigidity whilst keeping weight to just 3300g without battery. This lightweight construction allows the independent suspension system to work effectively, with optimised pillow ball joints on the front and wishbone configuration at the rear. The shock absorbers are oil-filled composite units measuring 19mm in diameter with independent spring rates front and rear (106mm front shock length, 129mm rear shock length), absorbing impacts from jumps and rough terrain. Ground clearance of 50mm provides adequate clearance for all-terrain driving. The wheelbase of 327mm combined with front and rear tracks of 320mm and 332mm respectively creates a balanced platform suited to both circuit driving and open terrain bashing. Tyres measure 117mm in diameter and 59mm in width, mounted on 90mm diameter rims with 57mm width, sized specifically to optimise the 2WD performance characteristic. The battery compartment measures 161x51x38mm, accommodating most standard rectangular LiPo packs. This is a proper brushless RC buggy built to handle whatever you throw at it.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Corally Syncro-2 good for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. The Syncro-2 is specifically designed as a beginner-friendly ready to run RC buggy. The CT2S transmitter features adjustable power settings from 50% to 100%, allowing new drivers to start at lower speeds and gradually increase power as they build confidence. The pure 2WD setup is significantly easier to drive than 4WD alternatives, with more predictable handling characteristics that help beginners develop fundamental RC driving skills. The fact it arrives fully assembled means you can start driving within minutes, without requiring any technical knowledge or assembly.
- What battery does the Syncro-2 need? — The Syncro-2 is compatible with both 3S and 4S LiPo battery packs. The Kuron 725 motor is rated for 2-4S operation, though the 3S and 4S range is optimal. Your battery should fit within the battery compartment dimensions of 161x51x38mm, meaning most standard rectangular LiPo packs will work. Popular capacities range from 1800mAh to 5000mAh depending on how long you want to run between charges. Higher capacity batteries provide longer runtime but add weight, whilst smaller capacity batteries are lighter but require more frequent charging.
- What is the top speed? — The Syncro-2 achieves a top speed of 80 km/h with a 3S or 4S LiPo battery. This speed is controlled by the PULSE G2 135 ESC which delivers smooth, responsive power delivery. Remember that actual top speed depends on factors including terrain, weight, battery capacity, and how you've adjusted the power settings on the CT2S transmitter.
- How long does the battery last? — Runtime depends on several factors including battery capacity, driving style, and terrain. Generally, a 5000mAh battery will provide 20-30 minutes of continuous driving, though aggressive driving and jumps will reduce this. Smaller capacity 1800-2200mAh batteries might provide 10-15 minutes. This is why many RC enthusiasts purchase multiple batteries to extend their driving sessions.
- Is this a true ready to run RC car? — Yes, the Syncro-2 is delivered as a complete ready to run model (RTR). It arrives fully assembled, pre-configured, and ready to drive. You only need to add a battery, charger, and transmitter batteries before you can start driving. No building, no soldering, no complex setup required.
- What makes this different from other 2WD buggies? — The Syncro-2 is based on Team Corally's proven Syncro4 platform, giving it professional-grade engineering and reliability. Key differentiators include the all-new PULSE G2 135 ESC with smooth power delivery, the powerful Kuron 725 brushless motor, and the beginner-friendly CT2S transmitter with adjustable power settings. The 2WD setup is simpler than 4WD alternatives, making it ideal for learning, whilst the durable construction means it can handle enthusiastic driving. The special wheel profile (wider rear, narrower front) is optimised specifically for 2WD handling.
- Can I use this indoors or only outdoors? — The Syncro-2 is designed as an all-terrain buggy suitable for outdoor use on grass, dirt, gravel, and similar surfaces. It's not waterproof and therefore should not be used in water or wet conditions. Use on hard indoor surfaces like concrete or tarmac is possible but may cause handling characteristics to feel different and could potentially damage the tyres and suspension.
- What tools do I need to maintain the Syncro-2? — Basic maintenance requires only standard RC tools including hex wrenches (hex key set), screwdrivers, and possibly a small wrench for suspension adjustments. The brushless motor requires no routine maintenance. The shock absorbers are sealed units, though you may eventually need to re-oil them. Detailed maintenance instructions are provided in the included user manual.
- Is spare parts availability good? — Yes, Team Corally is an established manufacturer with good spare parts availability. Common wear items like tyres, shock absorbers, and servos are readily available through RC retailers. The Syncro-2 shares many components with the Syncro4, expanding spare parts compatibility.
