I was so impressed with my son's I bought myself one and on the 1st outing motor packed in. Luckily motor cost a tenner but not good so far won't be buying another for a while to see how these go.

Love driving this car. Decided to get this truck so that my nephew can have a car to run when he visits as he alwasy nags to run my more expensive cars. Figured cheap, brushed truck! dont expect too much. Took it for a bash in the woods last weekend on a 2s 4000mah lipo (stock nimh is rubbish) and i was pleasantly surprised how well it drives. Had a some tumbles and connected a tree trunk or two head on and it just kept on going. No breakages. Big wheels and soft suspension makes it glide over rough terrain but it body rolls heavily in corners which is ok by me kinda addds to the scale look. Might whack a brushless system and sway bars in there one day.

Great fun machine. Does what it says straight out of the box. Seems fast enough to keep the lad entertained and so far no breakages… yet. I did wince a bit when it was driven into a kerb at quite a lick (not full speed) but no damage…but it did make me think it should have a front bumper as it does on the back.

Great car. Delivered on time and we had a damaged shell but it was replaced straight away.

Bought this on a whim after years not having an RC car, which were always Tamiya. I liked the building but wanted a quick fix :) Up and running 10 minutes after unboxing and was really pleased. Great specification for what it costs, with plenty of upgrades (and spares) readily available. Everyone that expressed interest could not believe the value. Would easily buy one again and the service from RCGeeks was top class.

Wasn't honestly sure what to expect but this buggy really delivered. Perfect as a first RC car for older kids, it's really quick, works out of the box, great on rough terrain and with the right battery it'll go like a train. On that note make sure to get at least a 4000mah battery as it'll only last 12-15 mins otherwise with a child ragging it.
