1:64加遙控 – Konsept RC Toyota Coaster Hong Kong Minibus
紅Van鬥綠Van鬥校巴邊個贏？理論上應該係紅Van以點數取勝，但Konsept三部遙控豐田Coaster小巴到底邊部快啲呢？一時間真係好難講。
作為香港第一款1:64比例遙控小巴，包裝盒亦夠晒「份量」，主因是該車採用了槍控設計，轉輪控制左右，而下方的扳機則控制前後，新手需時熟習。槍控設有低、中、高三段速度以及頭尾燈按鈕，遙控小巴會因應力度而慢慢加減速，方便營造「埋站」效果；迴旋半徑不大，適合較小空間遊玩，更支援漂移玩法。頭尾燈會在行車時亮起，轉向時車頭會按方向閃爍黃色指揮燈，不過車尾未有設指揮燈，變成尾燈在閃爍。值得一提的是，槍控需要兩粒AA電，而遙控小巴則以USB充電（不支援快充），官方數據指充電約25分鐘可行走約13分鐘。
車身設計方面，紅綠Van最大分別是車頂顏色，至於學校小巴車門造型則有所不同，廠方另提供路線貼紙供玩家自行DIY。老實說外型有改進空間，但以這個價位來說，個人認為做到形似就差不多了，連倒後鏡都做了出來。如果輪圈可以加黑則更好——三部車中個人比較喜歡學校小巴，也許正因如此。Playable Creation旗下品牌Konsept有多年造遙控車經驗，遙控巴士、Q版的士都有涉獵，今次以驚喜價進軍1:64市場，如果能在收藏與遙控車之間找到清晰定位，應該大有作為。
1:64 RC – Konsept RC Toyota Coaster Hong Kong Minibus
Red minibus versus green minibus versus school bus — who wins? In theory the red should edge it on points, but which of Konsept’s three RC Toyota Coasters is actually the fastest? Hard to call.
Billed as Hong Kong’s first 1:64-scale RC minibus, the box is surprisingly hefty — mainly because the car ships with a pistol-grip controller. A thumb wheel steers left and right while the trigger underneath handles throttle and reverse; beginners will need a little practice. The grip offers low, mid and high speed settings plus a headlight/tail-light button. The minibus accelerates and decelerates progressively in response to trigger pressure, making it easy to stage a realistic “pulling into the stop” moment. The turning circle is tight enough for small spaces, and the chassis even supports drifting. Headlights and tail lights illuminate while driving; when turning, a yellow indicator flashes on the corresponding side of the front, though the rear lacks dedicated indicators so the tail light flashes instead. Worth noting: the controller takes two AA batteries, while the minibus itself charges via USB (fast charging not supported). Konsept quotes roughly 25 minutes of charge time for around 13 minutes of run time.
On the body design front, the main difference between the red and green minibuses is the roof colour, whereas the school bus has a distinct door design. Route-number stickers are included for a bit of DIY customisation. Honestly, there is room for improvement in the detailing, but at this price point I think a decent likeness is fair enough — they even moulded the wing mirrors. Blacking out the wheels would be a nice touch, and of the three, the school bus is my personal favourite — perhaps for that very reason. Konsept is a brand under Playable Creation, a company with years of experience making RC vehicles ranging from full-size remote-control buses to cute Q-version taxis. Their move into the 1:64 segment at such an accessible price is a pleasant surprise; if they can carve out a clear identity between the collector market and the RC-car crowd, they should do very well.
