RLAARLO 1/12 Brushless RC Cars for Adults, Max 50 MPH Fast RC Buggy, All Terrain High Speed Remote Control Car Hobby Off-Road RC Truck 4x4 Monster Trucks with 3S Battery

I actually have three of these. 2 for me, and one for my daughter Rae. They're awesome buggies. They're so fast and surprisingly capable off road, a lot of RC buggies aren't all that great in grass and uneven terrain but this one is very good for the size. The 4WD helps a lot with that.The rear wheels have a limited slip diff so even with the 4WD you can drift it around pretty easily. Speaking of wheels; the tires have good tread on them for grip off road and decent on road traction. The camber is set pretty aggressively so your tires are going to wear down pretty unevenly with extended use, but they do last quite a long time. I did replace the stock nubby tires with grippy on-road tires on one of my buggies and it still goes off-road pretty well. And it makes drifting on asphalt much more enjoyable.Battery life is pretty good. The included battery can get about 25 minutes of pretty intense use out of it. But it's still a 2200 mah battery so that's pretty much the max you'll get. I wish it had more space for a bigger battery but it's a 1/12 buggy so you kind of have to expect it. I have no idea how long it takes to charge the battery with the included usb charger, I've never used it because I have a battery charging station for my lipos.Build quality is great, it has a central structural pillar for added strength and stiffness. I've hit rocks and stuff head on at full speed and nothing has broken. The aluminum chassis is awesome and modular, offering a lot of stability and strength.They always seem to be on some sort of sale so they're a really good value. You get a lot of premium feeling parts for under 200 dollars, sometimes under 150. Great value for a well built brushless buggy.Oh and speaking of brushless, this is a fast buggy, much faster than you'd expect. So definitely get used to it before turning the throttle trim up to 100. Which it does have a completely gradient throttle trim from 0-100 percent, so it's a good candidate for a younger child or a beginner to hobby grade RC cars. The steering servo is quick and responsive which makes the buggy very controllable. It'll turn on a dime.The controller is basic for a hobby grade buggy but it's nice. Throttle trigger is good and the steering wheel feels good. Its nice that you can adjust the steering trim and throttle trim easily. Batteries last quite a while too. The controller is actually very suitable in size for smaller hands and my daughter really likes how she can easily hold it and control it. That being said, I have large hands and I can still comfortably use the controller.The body shell hasn't broken yet and seems to be tougher than the material the omni terminator ones are made out of.

Didn’t expect much at this price point, but this little Rlaarlo 1/12 buggy completely blew me away. Out of the box, it’s well-built with solid hardware, metal components where it counts, and actually feels more durable than some of my more expensive 1/10 rigs.Performance-wise, it rips. I run it on 2S mostly, but threw a 3S in and it’s borderline insane — wheelies on demand and legit top-end speed. Suspension is decent right out of the box and soaks up backyard jumps no problem. I’ve taken a few tumbles and the buggy’s held up way better than expected. Nothing fragile here.Battery life is solid — I got close to 20 minutes of mixed driving, and I wasn’t babying it. The controller’s basic but responsive with good range. Only thing I’d upgrade down the line is the tires — they grip okay, but if you’re bashing on asphalt or loose dirt, you’ll want better traction.Overall, this thing is a blast. Great for beginners but also fun for guys like me who’ve been in RC for years. For under $200, it’s kind of a no-brainer. Would absolutely buy again.

So out of the box this thing was AWESOME. Somewhere after the 3rd or 4th time using it the cats transmitter and receiver would not sync up anymore. HOWEVER, after a few emails with Rlaarlo they informed me I need to speak to the Amazon seller. And instead of me having to find the seller and tell them my issue all over again, Rlaarlo sent our conversation to them. 1 day later the Amazon seller reached out and said they are just going to send a NEW FREE replacement reciever and transmitter. So that's nice.When this car was working it was FAST. Like about as fast as you really want for your 7 years old to have. But it also is designed in a way to allow the people who like to pack as much speed as possible into there car can upgrade it easily.

The media could not be loaded. I recently got a chance to try out the Rlaarlo X12S Buggy, and I’m genuinely impressed. Right out of the box, it comes Ready to Run (RTR) — just pop in 4 AA batteries for the controller and you're good to go. No complex setup, no hassle.The buggy looks aggressive and sleek, almost like a miniature Formula 1 car, and it lives up to that look. It’s extremely fast, with a solid, balanced build that handles speed incredibly well. Even at full throttle, the radio connection stays rock-solid, which makes driving it feel reliable and smooth.The radio controller is lightweight and comfortable — whether you're a 9-year-old or an adult, it feels natural in hand. The ESC is responsive, and the servo reacts quickly, giving you great control, especially at higher speeds.This car can fly across 40-50 feet in seconds. It has that exciting sound and presence that reminds you you’re not driving a toy — this is a serious hobby-grade buggy. The oil-filled shocks do a fantastic job soaking up jumps and rough patches. Watching the suspension work is part of the fun!One thing I really appreciate is the build quality. You can feel the durability in the chassis and components, and Rlaarlo provides plenty of upgrade parts if you want to customize or enhance performance later.Battery performance is solid — after about a 40-minute recharge, I got around 20–25 minutes of run time, depending on terrain. It flies on pavement and hard dirt, though it slows down a bit on grass — which is expected. I do wish it came with more off-road capable tires for better all-terrain action.Overall, it’s been an exciting and enjoyable experience. Whether you're a beginner or already into RC cars, I highly recommend the X12S. It delivers performance, style, and fun in one great package.
