What is the difference between the MemTrex Standard and the MemTrex Pro?

The Standard uses a brushed 390-class motor and reaches approximately 40 km/h. The Pro uses a brushless motor and reaches approximately 80 km/h from the factory, with a speed-unlock function. The Standard costs approximately £69; the Pro costs approximately £149. The Standard suits children aged 7–13 and first-time buyers. The Pro suits teenagers 14 and over, adult hobbyists, and buyers who want brushless performance without spending over £200.

Are MemTrex cars hobby-grade or toy-grade?

Both MemTrex cars are hobby-grade. They have real drivetrain components — ball bearings, metal drive shafts, replaceable differentials — and a full UK-stocked spare parts supply. Toy-grade cars are sealed units with no parts catalogue.

Do the cars come with batteries and chargers?

Yes. Both models are ready-to-run (RTR). The box includes the car, a LiPo battery, a charger, and a transmitter. The transmitter requires AA batteries (not included). The car will be ready to drive approximately 30 minutes after opening.

What is the UK warranty on MemTrex cars?

MemTrex offers two years on the chassis and six months on the motor and electronics. Spare parts are held in Lancashire and dispatched within 48 hours.

Can I get spare parts for MemTrex cars in the UK?

Yes. All spare parts — suspension arms, drive shafts, differentials, ball bearings, motor components — are stocked in the UK and available to order directly from MemTrex. Delivery is typically 48 hours.

How fast do MemTrex cars go?

The MemTrex Standard reaches approximately 40 km/h. The MemTrex Pro reaches approximately 80 km/h from the factory; this limit can be raised via a five-press transmitter unlock sequence, which is a standard hobby-grade feature.

RC Basics

Brushed vs brushless RC: the threshold most buyers cross at £100

Brushless is faster, more durable, and more expensive. Here's when the upgrade is worth it — and when it isn't. The honest answer for UK buyers in the £60–170 bracket.

What customers say

★★★★★

"I've owned an MJX Hyper Go. The Pro feels more solid and the warranty actually means something. Knowing I can call someone in the UK if something goes wrong changes the buy decision completely."

Mark R. Verified buyer · MemTrex Pro

★★★★★

"Bought the Standard for my 9-year-old. Spare suspension arm arrived next day when he snapped it. That's the difference."

James T. · MemTrex Standard

★★★★★

"My 14-year-old has been outside every weekend since it arrived. Brushless motor is genuinely fast — not toy fast, actually fast."
