A Revolution in Motion: Greenlight Enters the RC World

Greenlight Collectibles has built its reputation on static 1:64 diecast, which makes GL Motion a genuine departure for the brand. Confirmed via lamleygroup.com's hands-on coverage, this is Greenlight's first-ever radio-controlled line, and it's launching with two Fast & Furious-licensed cars rather than an unbranded test run.

The two debut models are a 1994 Toyota Supra JZA80 finished as Brian's Supra and a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T finished as Dom's Charger, both instantly recognizable to fans of the franchise's early films.

What makes GL Motion notable isn't just the licensing, though. It's a true 1:64 scale radio-controlled car with a metal chassis, a combination that hasn't really existed at this exact scale from a mainstream diecast brand before.

For how GL Motion stacks up against other small-scale RC options already on the market, see our 1:64 RC comparison guide.

A Genuine First for Greenlight

Greenlight has released thousands of static diecast castings over the years, but GL Motion marks the company's first entry into radio control, built from the ground up rather than licensed from an existing RC manufacturer.

That's a meaningful distinction for collectors who've followed the brand purely for shelf-display diecast, since GL Motion asks for a different kind of engagement: actually driving the car rather than just displaying it.

Brian's Supra and Dom's Charger

The 1994 Toyota Supra JZA80 reproduces Brian's signature Lamborghini Orange paint and Bomex body kit, down to the Troy Lee Nuclear Gladiator side graphic that fans of the original film will recognize immediately.

Dom's Charger brings the blown Hemi V8 poking through the hood and chrome American Racing wheels, both signature details from the character's own screen-used Charger.

True 1:64 Scale With a Metal Chassis

GL Motion is built around a genuine metal chassis at true 1:64 scale, a combination lamleygroup.com specifically flags as new territory, since most RC diecast at this size has relied on lighter plastic construction instead.

That metal chassis adds real weight and durability to a car this small, which matters given how much more wear a driven RC car takes on compared to a diecast piece that only ever sits on a shelf.

Full LED Lighting and Three Speed Modes

Both debut cars include a full LED lighting setup, including StreetGlow-style neon kits built into the lighting system, giving each car a genuine night-driving look rather than just functional headlights.

Three selectable speed modes, including a cruise-control lock, let a driver scale the experience from a careful first run to a faster, more technical drive once they've gotten a feel for the car's handling.

The USB-C Charging Case

Each GL Motion combo set ships with a color-matched carry case that clips directly onto the controller base and charges the car over USB-C, keeping the whole setup contained in one piece rather than scattered loose parts.

That case also includes the USB-A to USB-C charging cable, a screwdriver, and an Allen key, which covers basic setup and minor adjustments without needing separate tools.

Pricing and What's in the Box

GL Motion combo sets are priced at roughly $60 each, and that price covers the 1:64 RC vehicle, the radio controller, the dedicated travel case, the charging cable, and the included tools.

At that price point, GL Motion sits in direct competition with other small-scale RC options already on the market, which is worth weighing against Greenlight's Fast & Furious licensing before deciding where to spend an RC budget.

Who This Line Is Actually Built For

GL Motion reads as a deliberate crossover product, aimed at Greenlight's existing diecast collector base rather than at the hobby-grade RC crowd that already owns a dedicated transmitter and a shelf of replacement parts.

That positioning shows up in the combo-set format itself: everything you need, including the charging case and basic tools, comes in one box, with nothing requiring a separate purchase to get the car running on day one.

What Happens After the First Two Cars

Lamleygroup.com's coverage notes additional GL Motion releases are already in the pipeline, including a Ford Mustang GT and a Liberty Walk Nissan GT-R, suggesting Greenlight intends this as an ongoing line rather than a one-off licensed tie-in.

A growing lineup matters for collectors deciding whether to buy in now or wait, since an ongoing line typically means more casting variety down the road rather than a single limited drop.

Common Mistakes

  • Expecting GL Motion to handle like a static diecast display piece rather than an actual driven RC car.
  • Mixing up the debut cars' years: it's a 1994 Supra and a 1970 Charger, not later model years.
  • Assuming the metal chassis means the car can be displayed like a static Greenlight diecast without wear.
  • Overlooking that the charging case clips onto the controller, not a separate storage spot that can be misplaced.
