TENSSENX 1 18 Scale All Terrain RC Cars 40KPH High Speed 4WD Remote Control Car with 2 Rechargeable

Picked this up for $50 and honestly couldn’t be happier with what you get. The 4WD handles grass, gravel, and dirt surprisingly well for a 1:18 scale truck, and 40KPH is genuinely fast — fast enough to make adults nervous and kids absolutely lose their minds. The two included batteries are a huge plus. By the time one dies, the other is usually charged and you’re back to running in minutes. Build quality feels sturdy enough to survive the inevitable crashes. 2.4GHz signal has been reliable with no noticeable lag or interference. Controls are responsive and easy enough for younger kids to pick up quickly. Pros: Two batteries included, good speed, handles rough terrain well, great value Cons: Run time per battery is a little short, and the motor gets warm after extended use — give it a rest between packs If you’re looking for a capable off-road RC truck without dropping $150+, this is a really solid pick. Would buy again. Read more

The media could not be loaded. This is the second little car I have bought like this and I have to admit it's just as fun as the other. I'll break this all down into categories, please keep in mind I am comparing this vehicle to similarly priced vehicles, this does not mean it will outperform a high-end Losi, Traxxas or Aarma, but you are not paying the prices of those trucks either. For the Price range this vehicle hits well above it's cost. Price: I Paid mid 40's for this truck and at this price it's really good. Overall bang for buck is high! We had a blast bashing these around and general fun. At the price tag of a what would typically be a throw away car from a big box store you have a great little vehicle. that likely outperforms the other. Performance: The truck is powered by a 380 brushed motor which strikes a solid balance between acceleration, top speed and decent run time. the gearing isn't too shabby and the motors seems pretty peppy on every surface i drove it on. there is plenty of torque as you will see in one of the videos the truck easily climbed a plastic slide at the park. Handling: The spring rate is nearly perfect all around; they keep the truck shiny side up on road soaking up small bumps and cracks. Off road they do well soaking up some bumps, but this is where the lack of oil Dampening shows. the bouncy nature of the vehicle caused a few roll overs. The spring even do well soaking up rough landings from small jumps. Overall I am impressed with the suspension. The tires continue this theme, they are hard enough that i don't anticipate them to wear out quickly, but also soft enough to grab well on most any surface. Keep in mind the balance between the power and grip is spot on for this one. Resilience: This thing took some solid hits, from my son crashing into me with his car (similar size, weight power and over all performance), to me jumping it off a small rubber mat, rolling it on some dirt and tree roots, bouncing it off some obstacles and other things. One item that is a blessing and a curse is softer plastic. This trucks control arms and suspension parts are all softer plastic, this makes them a little sloppy and in racing this might not be a desirable trait, slop means less control on the edge of performance. But lets be clear this truck isn't a high-end racer, and thats a good thing! This is an entry level basher and that same negative for racing is a huge positive for bashing. The softer plastics flex and allow this vehicle to brush off some accidents that would break parts on other larger vehicles. I remember back in the early days boiling some control arms to soften them so they would have more flex, allowing them to take a hit and not break. Also if you do manage to break something they send it with some extra parts and tools so you can fix it! Which is awesome, none of the cars costing 3-5 times this vehicle do that. Looks: The vehicle looks nice, the front wheels lack adjustment and as a result sit a little odd, it looks weird but doesn't affect anything, maybe some handling but no really noticeable. I bet there are some cross over parts with brushless versions of this that may fit and allow the adjustments i would like on this one. Outside this and the spring shocks I really have no complaints. Overall: It's my feeling about this truck is it's a perfect balance of cost, performance, reliability, size and go anywhere ability to earn a space on my shelf. My son and I ran a few packs through these and we are not disappointed, we had more smiles than 40~ dollars could get you at an arcade. I would not hesitate to recommend these to anyone. Read more

Fun little car to run around the yard with. I like the variable speed adjustment so you can run it calm or utterly crazy. Lots of fun for little money. Read more

I got this to introduce my son into the RC hobby now that he's old enough to be responsible. It's not a true 16th scale, closer to 18th. I will say this; this car is a lot more durable than i expected. I never had to replace the main gear or any shocks or ANYTHING that you would expect to break during crashes. There are parts available for MOST of this car under different brands on aliexpress. My issue is that the ONE part that did fail is impossible to find. The differentials both failed simultaneously and i have searched high and low and can not find a replacement. It lasted about 3 months and now he's got an MJX 16208 truck. The only solution i could come up with to get this truck back in the race was to fill the differentials with JB Weld, but that only lasted so long since it added stress to the differential cups. The entire diffs are plastic except for the outer gear. For the price, and for the purpose of a temporary practice truck to introduce one into this hobby without breaking the bank, it's not bad.

Can take a nice little beating. I’ve used it in rain and snow and it’s still holding up. Battery doesn’t last long at full speed but still fun to play with Read more
