BlackZon
BlackZon is a radio-controlled vehicle brand within the HPI Racing group, designed to make RC accessible to newcomers without compromising on quality. Unlike toy-grade RC cars, BlackZon vehicles are built as genuine hobby-grade machines with full spare parts support, oil-filled shocks, metal gear differentials and proper 2.4GHz proportional control systems.
The range is structured around three series at different scales. The Smyter Series at 1/12 scale offers the largest and most powerful vehicles in the lineup, available in monster truck, desert truck and desert buggy variants with both standard brushed and Turbo brushless options capable of speeds up to 45km/h. The Slyder Series at 1/16 scale balances portability with performance, making it ideal for smaller spaces while retaining true RC handling. The compact Spryte Series at 1/20 scale brings full 4WD drivetrains and suspension systems into a pocket-sized format. All BlackZon models are supplied ready to run with everything needed in the box, and a clear upgrade path means owners can progress from standard brushed setups to brushless motors and LiPo batteries as their skills develop.
At Wonderland Models, we stock the full BlackZon range alongside a comprehensive selection of spare parts and accessories. Shop securely online for express shipping or visit our in-store experts in Edinburgh for personalised advice

- BlackZon RC Cars and Monster Trucks
BlackZon specialises in ready-to-run electric radio-controlled vehicles designed for beginners and casual bashers. The range centres on three core series: the Slyder in 1/16 scale, the larger Smyter in 1/12 scale, and the compact Spryte in 1/20 scale. All models come fully assembled and ready to drive straight from the box, with everything needed to get started included in the package.
The Slyder series is the most popular entry point, offering 4WD monster trucks and stadium trucks with speeds up to 30km/h, LED lights, waterproof electronics and oil-filled shocks. The Smyter steps up in size and power, with full metal gear differentials and higher capacity batteries for extended run times. For those with limited space, the Spryte packs genuine RC performance into a pocket-sized format that works well indoors. All three series are available in both standard brushed and Turbo brushless configurations.
- BlackZon Spares and Upgrades
One of BlackZon's strengths is the comprehensive spare parts support available for every model in the range. Motors, electronic speed controllers, body shells, wheels, tyres, suspension components, gears and hardware are all readily available, making it easy to keep your vehicle running and to repair any damage from hard driving.
The upgrade path from brushed to brushless is straightforward across the range. Standard models can be fitted with Turbo brushless power systems and LiPo batteries as your confidence grows, extending the life and performance of your original purchase. This makes BlackZon an excellent long-term investment for newcomers to the hobby.
