Fast,excellent customer service,maybe not for beginners (?)

Purchased during quarantine due to Covid 19, April 2020. This came about a week earlier then the expected ship date and made it in time for my son's Easter basket.
First I'm going to start with the PROS:

-excellent customer service! Customer service gets five stars! Great email communication and sent a full replacement and we received it within a week.Will explain why under "cons "

-I'm not used to remote control cars, I'm a stay-at-home mother with a soon-to-be 11-year-old son. With that being said I think this is great for beginners, HOWEVER,with guidance!!!!
It has parts that are quite delicate,it's definitely not up for rough and tumble play.If it's just used in large open spaces and its not going to hit,drop,or fall,then you should be good.
The metal part holding the wheel to the body is quite delicate and can not take a crash of much force.

-Fast!Plenty of zip my 10 yo son

-the wireless part of it has a very long range. We were in a school parking lot and it could go from one end to the other and back again.

-It comes with two battery packs. The batteries will last a certain length of time depending on the kind of use you are having with it. On average the battery lasts us 15 maybe 20 minutes. Pop in another battery and you've got another 15 or 20 minutes of use.

-ours came with two battery packs and two chargers and a convenient little screwdriver for the remote control battery pack and the car battery pack.

-Nice medium to large size and my son thinks it is cool looking. (We got the red one)

CONS

- We are beginner remote control car users. Have not had much experience. I think this can be a great beginner remote control but I would say it would not be for younger children that are going to have the desire to smash and crash or climb and drop and fall off rocks, or not have the control of the remote.
On our first day of use we took it down to an empty school parking lot. We were having great fun with it until my son got too close to a curb and it hit the curb. It seemed to have bent the metal piece connecting the tire to the main body. My husband was able to manually set it back and fix it. However, again it hit the side of a curb and then it was not repairable.
Based on the description and the videos I felt it was going to be more robust and a good car for a young beginner. But my young beginner would like the availability to be rougher with it than it can take. It is definitely a more delicate piece of machinery. He did not mean to hit the curb It was more of an accident.

Other than that we like everything about the vehicle. I contacted the company to see if there was perhaps a replacement part I could purchase. They got me in touch with another part of the company that automatically said they would send me an entire replacement vehicle.! They did ask to therefore receive a good review and I feel I am being honest in my review for them.
Not only did they send a replacement vehicle but it came with another two batteries, remote and everything that was with the original set.They did not ask me to send the original back and we plan on keeping it for replacement parts if needed.

I would purchase this again because based on the price and all the the other pros and the excellent customer service we are very happy with it.
We will just make sure we continue to use it in wide open spaces and on flat ground. And away from curbs!

Decent car for the money.

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2019

Size: 1:14 ScaleColor: RedVerified Purchase

I think this car will provide my kids with a little more enjoyment than the last few cars. They keep asking for cars that go outside (as they destroyed the last few trying to drive them in the snow & rain).

I chose this car since it seemed to be a little bigger than the other cars accoriding to the provided dimensions. Granted its still not as big as some of the monsters at Sam's Club or hobby stores, but it doesn't cost $100 (or more) than a lot of them. I have tested the car out while the kids were at school today and here is what I determined so far:

The car body is nice as it has metal panels, way nicer look and feel than the usualy molded plastic.

The controller is ok, nothing outstanding, but then again this was the 1st pistol type I've ever held, so it might be on par with everything else, but it seems a little flimsy. Both in the steering knob and the trigger mechanism. Steering responds quickly and so does the drive motors, I guess only time will tell if the knob holds up to repeated flipping as the kids wizz around.

The battery compartment is a little tight and you need jigger the battery connection around inside to get the compartment door closed. (i think there was one or two profane words uttered in trying to do this, but I will deny it if you ask).

The box is comes in is sturdy and the two batteries, screwdriver, instruction and USB charger are under the bottom cardboard.

At first I was confused on how to charge the batteries as I didn't see a plug. It got stuck in the small box and I will complement the use of USB technology instead of a regular wall plug since I am sure it simplifies the need for different outlets if this gets sold to non-US wall jacked areas. The USB charger also has a charging light which blinks while charging and stops when completed.

So final impressions of the car is that it should be a decent toy for the kids (or occassional dad drive). It is definately not a high end RC, but not the typical $20 walmart small wheel junk box either.

Good Deal For The Money, Would Have Paid A Bit More For Upgrades

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2020

Size: 1:14 ScaleColor: RedVerified Purchase

After doing a lot of research, I bought this remote controlled car for my young son. Really, I wanted to play with it, but I did feel that the operation of a remote control car is good for mental development and motor skills. He also loves (loves) cars. I was likewise into cars as a kid and have a lot of fond memories of playing with remote control cars mostly in the 1990s. Not that much has changed actually.

What has changed is battery technology, and the affordability of high quality and sophisticated electronics components such as wireless transmitting gear and motors. For what you can get today for this price is amazingly refined for the money. The car it self has a rally car / dune buggy look to, which is pretty nice not per se exciting. As a scale model it has a lot of detail and has an air of high-quality parts. With that said, I wish it felt a bit more durable. Remote control cars get slammed into walls and obstacles so often, I went these things built with armor on all sides.

It comes with two batteries and two chargers - which is nice. Battery life wasn't great, but none of these devices are since the motors burn through juice rapidly. While the toy is snappy for the money, I could tell that I would have wanted a lot more speed if I didn't need this toy to operable for a young child. I also feel like it could have accelerated a lot faster.

As an off-road style vehicle, it certainly does go over a few more surfaces than race-car style remote control toys, but it isn't like an off-road truck. Two wheel drive is the first limiting factor. The car could also have a bit more ground clearance. The tires are a problem as well. They keep slipping off the wheels. This is fixed pretty easily, but it is annoy that once this remote control car really starts to get pushed in maneuvers... a tire need slip off the wheel and the fun must take an annoying pause.

The car has cute little brake lights that display when you put it in reverse, and front LED lights when it is going forward. The forward lights are amusingly weak. They don't even let you as the operator see the ground in front of the car - so what is the point of even having them?

I've played with much worse remote control cars than this product, and it remains among the nicer I've purchase for a child. I think the same company makes even nicer stuff, and I'd be willing to check them out. It has been too long since I've be able to shop in a store for remote control toys, so these days it is challenging to know what type of money you need to spend for a high-grade enthusiast-oriented product. That this remote control car isn't, but for the money is makes for a satisfying toy for someone to determine if they want to upgrade into something more interesting in the future.

Breaks easily. *UPDATE* *Update 2* This company wants to help their customers!

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2020

Size: 1:14 ScaleColor: RedVerified Purchase

We got this car for my son for Christmas. He loved it for the few days he was able to play with it. I liked the controller, the range let the car go up and the road easily.

Unfortunately, the durability is terrible. We only drove it in the street and we didn’t put it through anything terrible but the wheel broke off so now, it just sits unused. What a shame.

Wouldn’t suggest buying. Spend a bit more and get a better RC car.

*UPDATE*

I was contacted recently by the company or at least, employees of this company, about a remedy to my situation regarding the broken RC car. They offered to send me a new car if I changed my review to five stars and deleted this review. I told them “No, you can send me a new car and I will update the review.” I feel like when a product breaks in a certain amount of time it’s the companies duty to replace it. I will not give the car five stars though because the problems on the RC car have not been fixed.

Although the new RC car does work, the axles that gold the wheels on are still plastic. This makes for a very easy break. Here’s what I mean, where the wheel connects to the vehicle, it’s a small plastic tube holding the tire to the motor that makes it drive. I didn’t know that when I purchased it but I realized it when the first one broke driving it on a flat, open driveway.

The RC car is very fun and my child does enjoy it but I feel like it’s only a matter of time before the wheels break again.

I did raise the star rating by one star for them sending out a new one, that was very kind but I still only give three stars because of the quality and because I don’t feel like it’s good business practice to base your persuade customers to give five star ratings because the company sends you a new products without fixing the issues that make the product break.

UPDATE!

The company has emailed me again over a few months and has offered a new product. An RC Truck that looks to be better quality. I’ll update once I receive this new vehicle.

I will say though, the customer service and the company’s initiative to fix the issues we’ve experienced has been absolutely top notch. In light of their contact and need to help satisfy their customers, I’m giving them five stars. I think the company has the best in mind and they are trying to improve their products and service.

Please buy a different car and save yourself the heartache of a disappointed child :(

I did a lot (a whole whole lot) of research before purchasing this as a gift for my Godson. I then flew from Ohio to Florida and surprised him with it. To say he loved it would be the understatement of the decade. It lasted a total of 48 hours, and pushed three extremely competent middle aged adults to our breaking point in that time. We were initially impressed that it came with two battery packs, and I thought I was more than prepared for everything that I would encounter based on the reviews I had read and videos I had watched. I was prepared for the screws that held the battery covers to be very thin/ easily strippable, and prepared not to use it on anything other than very smooth, flat surfaces. We didn’t run it over obstacles or expect it to perform tricks or any sort. Still, the battery life was nearly non existent and we found ourselves dedicating all of our time and energy to this car and it’s batteries for the better part of an entire day. Perhaps we received a lemon of a car/battery packs, but I highly suggest purchasing something with a longer than 5 minute battery life. It will take you that long just to change the pack, and roughly two hours (per their recommendation) for a full charge. Simply put, it is not worth the effort - and even if it were, the car is not assembled well enough to make it a toy that will last more than a handful of days anyway. We are all disappointed, but specifically one little boy in Florida who no longer has a car to play with. There are many to choose from, and the research can be tedious, but if you have taken the time to read this review, I would encourage you to choose another vehicle. Best of luck!

Well-built RC car

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2022

Size: 1:14 ScaleColor: BlueVerified Purchase

This is an entry-level RC car, and it works well, when it works well, if you know what I mean.

Once you have used a four wheel drive RC car you will never go back to two wheel drive. This one is two-wheel, and as long as you keep it on a surface without many obstacles it will do just fine. But climbing over a stick on the lawn, or up the edge of a sidewalk is pretty much out, because the front wheels are not powered.

The suspension on this one is another issue. The front end seems softer and able to absorb some bumps, but the rear seems very stiff. I ran this mostly on a crushed rock driveway, and every rock that the wheels hit caused it to bounce up, and when the wheels are in the air, you are not in control. It's very bouncy, over the slightest bump in its path.

Another issue I had with this car was a tendency to disconnect from the controller. This seemed to happen after only a few minutes (7-8 minutes) of run time on a fully-charged battery. It could be a symptom of a battery getting low, but it happened a lot, and if you kept your finger on the throttle after a disconnect, it would suddenly come back to life after a couple of seconds and then work fine for a random amount of time. Once the disconnects started happening though, they became a big problem, taking most of the enjoyment out of using this car, because they might happen every few seconds.

Battery life: Count on about 5 to 7 minutes of full-power operation before the above-mentioned disconnects start happening.

Overall, if you have a smooth surface to run this car on, like concrete, asphalt, smooth dirt, etc, it will do fine for you, going over jumps, spinning donuts, throwing rocks and leaves like a demon possessed, etc, with good power to the wheels. But the ground clearance is so low in the rear (1/2 inch), that a couple inches of lawn grass, a stick on the lawn, a small rock hit the wrong way with the under carriage, will stall it right out and use precious battery power trying to get it moving again.

I recommend going to a "hobby class" car like the the Bezgar HM 161. It's double the price of this car at regular price, but it's far, far more than double the performance of this one. The HM161 puts this car to shame, and at the price difference, that shouldn't really be the case. It is, though. Really, they should just take this car off the market. It's serving its purpose though, because it made me want a better car once I bought this one, which I did (the HM161). However, I promptly returned this one after 15 minutes of running the HM161. There is just no comparison, and your six year-old will thank you for getting an actual functional car that doesn't exhibit some problem or other every 15 seconds.

Great toy for beginners

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2020

Size: 1:14 ScaleColor: RedVerified Purchase

OK, so, I bought this as an impulse buy, at 5am, then a day later decided I would read the reviews and check out a few Youtube reviews

At first, I was mortified, as the negative reviews painted this product in a bad light, and with a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach, I awaited my purchase

---------------

Shipping - It showed up fast, had all the parts ( Even came with an extra USB charger ! ) - My only concern about shipping is that it was shipped in the factory box, and not even taped shut, which is rather sloppy, a few inches of tape is cheap. Nonetheless, it was all there, undamaged

---------------

Ease of use - Took 2 minutes to pop in the batteries, the only difficulty was in getting the battery connection under the car to connect to the battery, but that wasn't because of the clip itself, rather the length of the connection coming out of the car making it a bit tricky

The other issue is that the screws holding this car together are very cheap and will strip easily, in fact my first attempt to get the battery cover off resulted in small metal shavings peeling off the top of the screw, so the user must make sure they use a screwdriver that exactly fits the screw, and also to make sure to apply plenty of pressure when backing the screw out or tightening to avoid stripping the metal

------------

Speed - This car is pretty fast for a small RC, at least as fast as the Youtube video reviews show it to be, maybe faster. The response of the servos is very fast, so driving it at high speed requires a delicate touch when steering, but it's easy to get the hang of after a few minutes

------------

Battery life - The battery life is roughly 10-15 minutes, depending on how it's driven, but the car comes with 2 batteries and 2 chargers, so it's at least easy to switch them out

------------

Range - I have done at least 75 feet with no issues in reception

------------

Durability - This was where I had a totally different experience than some of the bad reviews. They described wheels breaking off after 5 minutes of play, shocks breaking, etc, and made this out to be a very fragile toy that isn't meant to be treated roughly in any way

This was not my experience. My experience was that it was very durable, and I repeatedly ran it into curbs, off curbs, from various heights, at high speed, and nothing broke or bent while I was playing with it

I drove it straight into a wall at high speed, both in forward and reverse, and it came out just fine, so I assume the people who got ones that damaged easily may have just gotten defective products ( which occasionally happens with cheaper toys )

----------------

Power - If you are looking for power, and something that will fly over a lawn, or out in the woods over small sticks and rocks, unfortunately this is not the car for you. It has a very small clearance underneath and will easily be defeated by even a short lawn or sticks that are 1" in diameter

This is not a fancy expensive RC crawler, with low gearing and high torque, this is a small fast RC smooth dirt / street racer meant to handle small jumps and slightly rough terrain ( It would be perfect for smooth dirt tracks with small jumps )

There's no transmission box, or fancy drive linkage, it's a direct-drive car, and as mentioned, the servos are very fast to respond, so it takes a light finger to maneuver the car deftly

My experience with the power was also significantly better than the video reviews on Youtube. The reviews show the car to be incapable of driving up any hill over a 2 degree incline, and not even able to make it up a slightly sloped driveway, on smooth asphalt

Instead, my car repeatedly drove up a much steeper 40 degree incline, on a smooth board, that I had set up just to test this very ability

I was not disappointed in the least with the power here, and can only assume the bad video review on Youtube was either a weaker battery that has been since replaced by the manufacturer, or the reviewer simply didn't bother to test it with a fully charged battery

-------------------

Looks - Looks just like the one shown on the webpage, no bait-n-switch here, seller ships what is shown

------------------

Conclusions : For the money, this car is a pretty decent purchase. This is a prime example of " You get what you pay for "

For me, personally, it was a nice way to get a feel for driving RC cars again, ( Been years for me ) so I see it kind of like a training vehicle more than anything, and for the money it's actually quite decent. This would be a perfect RC starter for a younger child ( I'm thinking 5-8 years of age ), and perfect for small, smooth dirt tracks, asphalt, concrete and the like

It's also easily modded, since the construction is very simple, so just a little creativity can easily extend the value and replay attraction ( For example: It's a perfect size to kitbash with model car / truck kits ), and the fast responsivity of the servos can easily be tamed by simple adjusting the metal tabs / springs inside the controller ( for those wanting a more crawler-like experience )

I noticed quite a few bad reviews for this car while I was waiting for it, but honestly, I am happy with my purchase

The shipping charge was even refunded ( I don't know why, since it came on time, but thank you all the same )

Well Made RC!

I highly recommend this RC. I purchased a red one and a blue one for my 11 and 8 year old kids, and they live it because each battery lasts 25-30 minutes, the upper shell is made of metal, the lights look great when using it at dusk or night time. The car is durable as well as they have tumbled and it continues to work just fine. One of my kids accidentally stepped on one of the front tires as he was driving it and it did not break..I highly recommend purchasing this RC, you will it regret it.

I got this to use with my 8 year old. It was a little bit of a disappointment, but she still has fun with it.
It runs great on pavement, but this thing STRUGGLES on grass. It's early spring, the snow just melted and the grass is pretty short and flat. This thing still gets stuck on any incline, or divit in the ground.
Fortunately, we have a few big lots near us we can use to drive it. She loves to drive RC. But for me this was a bit of a miss. I would have rather spent a bit more and gotten something a little better.
The steering is a little hard to grasp. It seems maybe overly sensitive.
One good thing I like is that you can use some half-power mode. That's good for kids to get the hang of it before going full board.
Get it on sale. The company is good. I had to call with a problem on a different model and they were great to work with 5 stars to bezgar, maybe 3.5 for this model
