The media could not be loaded. TLDR: Great car, reverse is tricky. For the price versus the sum of the parts, this represents an amazing value. However, the remote has a lot of latency and reverse requires multiple attempts each time to use it. This is a tough little buggy. I took it to the skate park and ran it for a couple hours. I was not gentle. I eventually broke a strut tower, but that was after close to 100 hard impacts on concrete. The metal front and rear bumpers did their job and have a bunch of shiny areas from impacts. The shocks seem nice. They have a very good amount of dampening for the weight of the car. The car is heavy and has a more premium feel than I expected at its price point. The USB charger is okay. It's not remarkable in any sense and there is no USB wall adapter so you'll have to dig through your junk drawer. The batteries feel light for their size, but seem to deliver plenty of power for such a small car. The remote is the worst part of this package. It feels cheap, like an afterthought. It's operation confirms the cheapness of it. There is significant lag when taking off and reverse is difficult to use. Power cycling the remote sometimes resolves the issue for 10-15 seconds. Steering is proportional and the foam rubber surround is really the only thing that's decent about the remote. There is a third channel available on the receiver and there's a trigger for it on the side. The car is very stable for its small size and it handles very well right out of the box. I've not encountered any broken strut towers or stripped screws as mentioned in other reviews. It corners relatively flat and has very good acceleration even with the 2S batteries. I think the 3S batteries might make it a little unruly and hard to control based on how it works with the 2S. Other reviews mention a heavy rear toe-in on the rear wheels. This is common on small RC cars and helps them go straight. Upon inspection of the rear assembly this alignment is intentional. The tires contact the body on full lock and make it sound like a differential is about to explode. Read more

The media could not be loaded. After searching and reading reviews for hours on many different RC cars offered on Amazon. I made the decision to purchase this one and I have zero regrets. It is extremely fast, very easy for my eight year old son to drive and control, very durable thus far and with all of the jumps and loops we’ve driven it through. It still works perfectly. Here it is my list of pros and cons. Pros: Very fast (but not uncontrollable) Battery life is decent (about 15 minutes on 70% power) but it came with two batteries and that’s a huge plus! It came with spare parts, such as extra shocks and front axle. You can control the front trim a.k.a. alignment with the remote, as well as varying the intensity of the throttle. There are many more pros, but those are the main ones. Cons: The wheelie bar that came with it as an additional accessory really helps control the car when taking off very fast, but it is also the least resilient part of the car, and has already broken at the bottom screw, but was also able to be repaired with some super glue. That’s not exactly ideal, and is why it made my cons list. That is honestly the end of my cons list. Whether you are buying it for a younger kid or yourself (if you’re an adult like I am) I highly recommend it. Read more
