Review: Tamiya make the best RC kits, easy to build with good instructions. This took me about 3 hours and I am a novice RC builder. This is a build it yourself kit so don't buy if you are expecting a built RC car. It's fast enough with the standard motor but might upgrade at a later date. Came with oil filled shocks which is a nice touch. Would recommend for newbies and older kids. Or middle aged men like me who wanted a toy to race my kids Grasshopper.

In addition to the kit we purchased a ball bearing kit (although as I recall that was just to upgrade), remote control, servo, battery and battery charger, along with paint everything else was included. **Q: how fast is it Km/HR ?** A: As this is a kit, it depends on whether you use the included motor or install an upgraded one when you assemble it, as well as your battery. A stock motor with a basic 6-cell NiMH battery will get the vehicle up to around 15mph. You can squeeze 20mph out of it with a 2S LiPo or by installing a cheap 550-sized 6v drill motor (the exact same motor Traxxas sells at a markup as the Titan 12T), and around 25-30mph with a 2S LiPo and a mild brushless system. I would not try to stick huge amounts of power in this car, the drivetrain is plastic so it can't handle extremely high-KV motors without suffering from severe wear and tear and possibly stripping the gears outright. **Q: Does it come with a battery?** A: It does not **Q: Dose this come with the steering servo aswell as tje speed controler and the other elec.** A: NO it does NOT come with a servo! you must purchase that separately . It DOES come with a ESC and MOTOR which I think is pretty spiffy . ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***D on 8 March 2025* Tamiya make the best RC kits, easy to build with good instructions.
