Dromida Adds Speed to Their Lineup with Brushless Power
By: Tim Gluth
Dromida, has been a favorite among R/C fans since they came onto the scene in 2013. Since their inception, they have been adding upgrade parts and new vehicle choices to their lineup, keeping things exciting for entry-level hobbyists. After releasing an add-on Brushless Speed Kit (featuring a 5300kV brushless motor, speed control, receiver, 12T pinion gear, 13T pinion gear, motor screws and upgraded steering linkage) not long ago, they’ve gone all-in with brushless power by releasing their Speed series. While you won’t find any new vehicle types in this new fleet, you will find every model that they offer as a brushed version in this new brushless configuration.
Given the expanded lineup of vehicles, you’ll find a little bit of everything from Dromida. From short course trucks, to off-road buggies, to monster trucks, they’ve got a 1/18-scale machine that’s sure to suit anyone. With the added power and performance upgrades, the price has been bumped up a bit too. While these new options aren’t in the sub-$100 range, they do sit at a comfortable starting price of $149.99.
