DEERC 9201E 1 10 Large Remote Control Truck with Lights Fast Short Course RC Car 48 km h

For the price this truck is great on further review might not be that great. Raise the body post before you even run it. It runs way faster with the body raised. I also have seen videos where holes have been cut in back window of body to help with air flow. I have not done that yet worried that might weaken the shell. Shell is nice the spare tire and roof lights help protect shell when it rolls. Without them it would be lighter but again shell might take some damage. I have ran 5 battery lives through it and it has held up well with some pretty big crashes. The plastic pieces have lots of flex to them. These newer models only have 1 shell and charger just so you know. The original release had 2 each. Lights are good ran it at twilight last night and was impressed when ran during day didn't think much of them but in dark good. The top lights are a bit of a pain to hook up but when running during day I don't plug them in just hook the wire up in the clip inside the shell so it doesn't hang out of body. Also push the light bar down and push the clips through the 2nd hole in the post so the light bar doesn't rock around. All in all a great truck for the price thats the asterisk. Has good speed with the body lifted. The tires do rub the shell when it is lower. I might trim the wheel wells to eliminate the small amount of rubbing that still happens when turning. Good looking truck, my wife said wow when I 1st showed her so thats pretty high praise. Going to upgrade the battery for a little more power and speed but honestly as is its a good little truck for the $90 I paid. It is a little small for a 1:10 scale as others have noted but all in all I was happy with it. Adding to this run number 6 run front differential seems to have went out no more front wheel drive no hard bombing just driving around no big jumps or anything. Seems like alot to get in and actually see whats up with it going to have to take whole front end apart. This may or may not be worth really fixing might be just rear wheel till it dies. Okay revising again took dif apart looked okay. Replaced a axel going good again. So customer service got a hold of me and is sending some parts so thats cool. Truck is proving to be pretty durable and good customer service gets all 5 stars Read more

This is a great little RC car for the price. The range is great, it’s pretty quick, and relatively durable. I purchased some high capacity 6200 mah batteries and managed to zip tie them onto the frame (see attached pic). Now I can run this thing for an hour straight without having to change batteries. The shocks are adjustable, and I would suggest tightening them down if you want better handling on road surfaces. Overall a joy to operate and puts a smile on my face every time I take it out, which is almost every day. EDIT: Whatever you do, do NOT run 3s batteries in this thing. Surprisingly, for me, it wasn’t the main or servo motors that burned out, but rather it was too much power for the cheap plastic planetary gears inside the servo. Also, it becomes a lot harder to control with 3s, and if you slam it into a curb like I did, say bye bye to your shocks (19-20 mph on 6800mah 2s vs 25-26mph on 3s). Thankfully parts are cheap, and I mean CHEAP to replace. I paid 20 dollars total for a new servo and two shocks, and thankfully they are very easy to replace. I can’t fault the car for me wanting more speed, so the 5 star review stands. I wish there were better servos available, but knowing that they are so cheap to replace means I can run this car for ever. I also kept the motor from the old servo, because it runs just fine, in case this new one burns out for some reason. It is easy to take apart and replace Read more

Update 2: Support on their website was great! A new truck is in the way so now we’ll have a second one for parts. Can’t wait to get it back in the road! Update: Found the part that broke but now I can’t figure out where to get a new one. It’s fast. It’s fun. The lights look great! My 9yo and his 12yo brother are having a blast running it up and down the road jumping the driveway curbs. And it didn’t last more than a day without a crippling problem. We have a broken wheel and a wheel that won’t drive. Now I’m playing mechanic (and that’s not good.) If I have to buy parts and take it apart every day for my kid to drive it, I’ll be shopping for another brand. Hopefully I can figure out this drive issue and get it back on the road where it belongs. Read more

Rugged and fast! Good suspension thanks to the oil filled shocks. Good range. This thing is fast. Can accept 3s lipo batteries for even more speed. In my opinion it’s fast enough. It’s 1/18 scale so it’s on the smaller side. Because of this it struggles through grass. My next car will be a 1/10 scale, which is much bigger. To be honest, I wish I had bought a 1/10 scale from DeeRC instead, but I’m pleased. Read more
