5.0 out of 5 stars Great Indoor Car... not outdoor, January 9, 2012

This is a great little truck. The 4wd is probably not necessary but is great in preventing getting stuck. My 4 year old is able to drive with little supervision.

Pros:
Small Enough for in House.
Pretty fast
Very durable.
Replacement and hop up parts available.
15 minutes of drive time on fully charged battery.
Battery is replaced on the bottom of the car, so requires no time or tools to switch a battery out.
Controller has adjustments to set the alignment, which is a necessity.

Cons:
Gear in the rear Axle was knocked loose... easy to fix if you can figure out how to take apart and put back together. The car may have been dropped, could not get a straight answer from the 4 or 7 year old.
Turn Radius is not great... Probably due to 4wd. While driving you can pop from forward to reverse to forward and kick out the back to shorten the turn ratio on slick floors.
RC Controllers Metal expandable antenna looks fragile...Read more

This thing is really fun. I purchased it for my son's 5th birthday as something we can do together and to get him interested in the world of RC. I was an RC fanatic in my younger days but since so much has changed, I did a lot of research to find the right car. I was looking at 1/10th scale short course trucks at first thinking we could race it together at the local track but after a few practice runs with an old RC10T3 I quickly realized my 5 year old might be better served learning on something a little smaller and maybe a little slower. Besides a 1/10th scale car is no fun indoors. I'm glad I found this little truck. It's a little smaller than I had expected but it's not super micro. It's a great size for indoor and outdoor fun. The build quality on this truck is excellent. It's a true hobby grade product which means that hobby shops carry a full line of replacement parts and upgrades which is great for someone who's just learning to drive. Once you break a toy quality car it's...Read more

Hello

I received one of these cars about a year ago, for my birthday. It is great. Very durable, and fast! It looks so real, and it is a great car for inside when it is raining and I can't drive on the dirt track near my house.

Pros:
Very durable: Has hobby grade electronics, steel driveshafts, LCG tub chassis
Great handling: The oild filled big bore shocks and 4wd system allow you to put all the power to the ground. The shocks allow for great cornering, and the 4wd allows for some good powersliding on polished floors.
Soft rubber tires: the tires are soft compound rubber, like what would be used in larger scale rc racing. It affords huge amounts of grip on pavement, but still allows for some good old drifting fun on slippery surfaces
Suspension: It has threaded big bore shocks, with oil (my 1/10 racing SCT does even have this!). The oil in the shocks makes fore great handling. It is a serious improvement over the micro t friction shocks. The...Read more
