Vehicles[]
RD-04[]
It doesn't make it to the movies, however, it's known driver is RD-L1, and it has the same ability as his other cars.
RD-05[]
Replacing RD-08 after the Lava Realm, RD-05 has a lime green color on most of its part, making it look somewhat mismatching when being inside the Slam Ram Hyperpod.
The car helps RD-L1 winnng the Water Realm and Ruins Realm. One of them is destroyed in the Metro Realm, another one gets knock off the track by the Silencerz in the Cosmic Realm. A few of them are present when the Drones invade the Acceledrome. Ultimately, they are all destroyed when Gig explodes the Drome.
RD-08[]
RD-L1's old reliable vehicle. It is first seen at the opening scene of Ignition, when RD-L1 is ordered to kill Tezla. The car helps RD-L1 winning the Storm Realm, and with the assist of a RD-06, ultimately capturing Kadeem, and obliterate everything behind him. It is totaled in the Swamp Realm alongside its driver, and nearly lost 4 Accelechargers because of the incident. Its final victory is in the Lava Realm, when the car was rebuilt alongside its driver.

Trivia[]
- It is likely the highest rank of drone to ever exist in the Racing Drones' hierarchy, losing only to Gelorum herself.
- However, it is unclear if RD-L1 ranks higher than RD-K1.
- It is extremely powerful and durable, capable of tearing apart Nitrium with its bare hands and with less effort than any other drone could.
- It is also highly intelligent, which is what makes it unique. This is shown in Ignition during the Storm Realm race, whereas the other drones were having problems taking Kadeem out, RD-L1 easily dispatched him, controlling a drone into shooting a grappling gun to the back of his car then proceeding to push him out of the racing track along with Kadeem.
- He is the only Racing Drone to speak, as most of the others have “recycled noises” from realm creatures.
- An error or not, in The Ultimate Race there were 3 RD-L1 (RD-L1, RD-L2 and RD-L3), one being at the drones' base and the other two commanding the army of RD-S1s in the battle inside the Acceledrome. With one of them being taken down on-screen by a electric charge caused by Gig, however, in Breaking Point, there were 8 of them. It is unknown where RD-L4, RD-L5, RD-L6, RD-L7 and RD-L8 went or if they were destroyed.
