I've owned several DeeRC cars, as always they don't disappoint. You have to keep in mind that this is a 1/16th scale and bushes but let me tell you this guy runs well. I'm very surprised by the performance of this RC car. Battery's last about 18mins each. This car comes with 2 of them and one charger, now the charging is around 3 hours per battery but it's a small cheap USB charger so not surprised. This car can run on grass but after it's been freshly mowed. Motor will start to get to warm if you run in grass that's a little long. The radio has a speed control so you can turn down max speed for younger drivers to get the hang of it. Finding replacement parts can be a bit tricky but they are out there. I've had to contact customer support for parts and other issues and DeeRC stands by there product and is very willing to help. You can not go wrong with their products. Oh I have launched this car off pretty big jumps and have taken a lot of hard crashes. It's still running and jumping. Would definitely recommend, just remember the size and it's brushed. You won't be doing 20 mph, closer to 13mph maybe a bit less in grass. Still plenty fast for my kids who are learning and I have fun with it too.

The media could not be loaded. This is a great RC truck, easy to drive. It's very fast and durable and fun to drive. It handles multiple terrains just great.First the technical: It comes with 2 batteries, each lasts for about 20 minutes. It has gas shocks. It has metal drive train componentsThe body is made of soft plastic which makes it durrable as it won't just break when it hits something because there is give. It is lightweight and has large tires which enables it to handle any terrain thrown at it.The Experience: Very fun to drive. It's very fast and will take on multiple terrains without even breaking a sweat. It's lightweight which enabales it to just plow through most terrain.Open Road: Very fast(up to about 20mph), distance is good, can get at least a couple hunderd feet until it becomes a speck but still good signal.Gravel: This truck eats gravel alive!Dirt/Mud: Plows right through it.Water: it has an IP4 waterproof rating. I ran it through some water and it did great. I good bath is a great thing after a hard day in the dirt and mud!Grass: It does slow down in grass but it does not stop, it just keeps on going.Durability: Very durable. The front bumper will give instead of just breaking. The body is soft plastic so it will give. Unlike stiff plastic that will just break when it hits something(I've crashed several times learning how to drive this truck), It has metal drive train components. It has an IP4 water proof rating, so puddles, mud and such are not an issue.

For the price, this truck is great. But as with everything else DeeRC they are 25% slower and smaller than the speed and scale they advertise. Which is really unfortunate, cause if they would be truthful about these stats it would still be a great price. And you'd feel you could trust the company. The controller works well enough. But is made of cheap abs plastic which feels light and brittle. All in all the truck is durable and great for the price. With a little knowledge on how to do repairs you should have a working RC truck for many years to come. If you can figure out the size and specs of everything it should not be a problem to swap for more powerful parts. The gears and axles look like they could handle it!

The media could not be loaded. This is not a toy, unless you're a mature teenager or a teen x5! (That would be me). This little hot rod gives the fun and thrills that you normally only watch on TV. It screams on asphalt, and slides through turns in dirt. It handles jumps with aplomb, but it's also got enough traction and clearance to be able to move along smartly in short grass and even leaves. The four-wheel drive, aggressive tread pattern, and plentiful torque make it a sure-footed scrambler on uneven, near verticle terrain. It took a few runs to graduate to having the throttle and steering on max. At that point it's a wild ride, but controllable with a steady hand. I found it actually more fun, but less terrifying, to turn down the steering and throttle to about 2/3. However, it also breaks up the sameness of a ride by going full tilt and trying to modulate your twitchy response when it starts to head for a tree or the ditch.The controls are well thought-out. The steering trim needed a little tweaking on my model, but was well-placed with the knob at the top of the control unit. Similarly, two other knobs adjust the responsiveness of the steering and throttle. Those, too, are handily placed at the top of the handheld control unit. It is easy to make adjustments at any moment you desire.It is well made with real oil filled shocks and a sturdy underside to the chassis.. Independent suspension and four-wheel drive make it surprisingly stable over bumps and rocks.Having an extra shell is a bonus on two counts. You can either decorate it to your liking or keep it over the stock shell and protect the finish. Likewise it comes with two batteries which is a real plus.I found the battery life to be surprisingly adequate. 20 minutes per battery is a pretty good run.I was asked to evaluate this car, and here's my unbiased evaluation…PROs: It is a large RC model as these things go. At 1:10 scale It doesn't look like a toy, and it doesn't act like one either.It is light for its size, yet sturdy and well made. I appreciate the fact that the motor is equipped with air cooling fins in order to prolong motor life. It generates a lot of very quick torque and jumps off the line when you hit the throttle.The steering is as responsive as you want it. At max setting it can do tight donuts and even slide turns in spite of its four-wheel drive.The interchangeable body makes for ease of replacement if you somehow do catastrophic damage. Likewise, there is a full complement of parts available should you need them.The battery life is more than adequate.The speed gets up in the high 30s which, for its scale, approaches 300 miles an hour. It feels like it.It has good range. It showed no signs of losing control when it got as far out as I was comfortable with. I would guess that was approaching 100 yards. At that point, at 30 mph I was on the verge of losing control myself.CONs: Its Shell is very light and thin. It feels like it could develop a tear. After repeated crashes and rollovers, however, it has not shown anything but a few light scuffs.The cotter pins that hold the shell on and also lock the battery in place are a bit of an annoyance. The holes the pin needs to go through are just slightly larger than the diameter of the pin. I don't see any reason why the holes couldn't be a larger diameter, and I may actually drill them out with a fine drill to make the cotter pins easier to insert and remove.If there were no throttle and steering adjustments, it would be too twitchy to be fun, in my opinion. The adjustments make this car fit your reflexes and need for speed.Overall, I was very impressed. I think an 8-year-old could handle it, but it seems more appropriate for a teen or adult.
