“This is a really nippy little buggy once you realise that the controller has an adjustment for the throttle control. It was a lot of fun to race round the garden for my daughter and gave my larger FTX Carnage a good run for its money too. Unfortunately on day 3 one of the drive shafts failed and so far I cannot get a new replacement one from RC geeks (sold out) for over 2 weeks. I’ve tried every other corner of the internet but can’t find direct replacement either. I think the car needs upgrade parts to metal drive shafts really. The plastic has just failed. We hope to get it going again one day, but it’s retired at the moment. Sad face.”
“Hi,
Great car but it stopped working on the second day of use. I charged the battery but the car will not go forward or back. Battery appears ok as the steering still works. Can you help please? Please see video.”
“3 people chipped in to buy this for my nephew for Christmas. The first time out it worked for 8 min before the ESC burnt out. This was sent back and repaired and when we got it back the car worked for just under 5 min before the ESC burned out again. This was sent back and repaired again, this time it manage to go 6 meters forward and 2 meters in reverse before breaking again with I think the same problem and I am now left trying to get a refund, so you can make your own evaluation but I would avoid this product”
“It's a great RC car for youngsters or it would be if it hadn't broken just 4 days after it was given as a birthday present to an 11 year old. The steering stopped working. The problem is easy to see. The steering gear came away from the steering motor. Maybe it was all the bumps and crashes. But this is meant for kids who are going to bump and crash the car. If it can't take the knocks, it isn't fit for purpose.”
