12427 RC Cars 1/12 Scale 2.4GHz Remote Control Car, 4WD 50KM/H High Speed Monster Trucks, All Terrain Off-Road Rock Crawler Climbing Buggy RTR for Adults

Gave this as a gift twice (to adults) and they immediately obsessed with it immediately (one of them played with it so much he wore off its tires hahaha) Real 4x4 with great traction, sturdy, this little speed demon and can take a punch! Remote control is fairly easy to use and the ultra customizable and virtually all the parts are replaceable. Overall a great purchase, definitely worth the price!

The Car is super cheap and performs absolutely amazing. I put it through torture and ended up braking a few things but because its hobby grade I can replace it! I drove it in the snow and salty roads all winter at least every other day. I ended up rusting away the 1 front driveshaft away, the rear driveshaft, and brushes for the motors. I replaced them all for relatively cheap. The servo also wore down a little. You can't buy an rc car and not expect to do some maintenance. I love it and it is one of the best for the money on the market in my opinion. The only thing is that its for sure not a rock crawler, it goes way to fast and is geared terribly for a rock crawler.

Working on the desert racer is heady and fun. I got it for my 5 year old after a lot of reasearch and it holds up! Not only is it tough but it’s easily customizable! I’ve added a new steering servo and even added a 4000 mah battery on the back and it takes all the jumps and abuse my 5 yo can throw at it! We’ve had it for a year and it’s out every weekend jumping our ramp and going on trail hikes! I haven’t had to replace a single suspension part on it even with the added weight! My gps hiking tracker says it’s done close to 60 miles and the only real replacement needed has been tires and the rear diff! I have about 19 off-roader rc’s including some $500 ones and it’s no lie that this is the favorite for me and my son!

I'll start saying don't buy it if you don't like to work on your rc cars. - The rear drive shaft broke within 5 uses, the problem is that the "upgraded" aluminium shafts I Bought lasted less than the original. I decided to bought the aluminium shafts again but modify them, that's the only solution I found. - if you want to use this rc buggy on the sand you should put some grease into the steering system (not the servo) otherwise it will get stucked. Apart from this mentioned before I think it is the best rc truck under $200. The battery lasts about 10 minutes. I personally really enjoy using it.

Its the best thing ive gotten in a long time. My 1 yr old loves the thing. Always makin the vroom vroom sounds whenever he wants to play with it. Cant blame him. Its so much fun , nd cant wait to get him his own when he gets a bit older. Yes things will break nd heat up the motor etc. Bt fixing the thing is also part of the journey. It is a hobby grade rc afterall not jst some cheap walmart toy u discard after braking. Ive broken it maybe 5 times nd brought it back to live . id recommend buying an extra esc for when it does give up (took about 2 months for mine to give) nd diffenitly some rear driveshafts. Those are a must. Beacuase if youre new to this hobby, thats the most stubborn. Id recommend going to banggood for them take a while to get there bt they sure are worth it

Incredibly fast and fun and a great value as long as you don’t break certain parts b/c despite what you read, this IS NOT fully upgradable. Some parts, such as the driveshaft are not removable. I have removed all of the screws and pried, pulled, heated and hammered to no effect. I see evidence of lots of red Loctite, and I’m guessing it may be fused together inside - like welded. I’m 6’1”,185 pounds and could not pull it off with all of my might. I purchased a whole kit of anodized blue upgrade parts, but now the car is dead because the OEM driveshaft isn’t removable. ☹️.

After buying many of the toy grade RC cars and having them brake in the first few hours of play, I decided to get this one for my son for Christmas. The packaging is very cheap, but I can't say that for the vehicle itself. It is assembled very well and has impressed me quite a bit. Pros: 1. looks great 2. can replace parts if they break 2. 4x4 and can go anywhere 3. metal gears in Differentials 4. comes with battery and charger 5. durable and water resistant 6.12mm hexes so aftermarket wheels will fit Cons: 1. Plastics are a bit soft, so easy to strip screws 2. Differentials have lubrication, but not much. fill them up with your choice of Diff oil/grease 3. battery, while powerful, only lasts around 7-10 minutes...... if you are lucky 4. I haven't checked yet, but the shocks feel like they could use some oil. I'd recommend this car to anyone who is even remotely interested in the RC hobby. There are a couple things to do right away like upgrade the battery to a higher capacity 2 cell shorty pack and fill the diffs and shocks with grease/oil, but it is a great entry way into a very fun hobby.

Within a day, the front wheels were not tracking properly although we were adjusting the trim screw. That is when we started to try and contact the manufacturer to see what the warranty is because it isnt posted on the amazon site. That was a few weeks ago and they still have not replied. But with a 11 year old boy, they just want to use the car. So we did. We actually bought three different cars from different manufacturers. This car was definitely the fastest. But that being said, has a high center of gravity so it had a tendency to want to flip over. Then within a week the rear wheels stopped working. The driveshaft to them is plastic and has two very small tabs that are supposed to help lock it in. Let me repeat, plastic on the driveline. So figuring that the manufacturer would never reply, I went on line and bought metal parts to change. When I tried to take off the old ones, the set screws on part of their driveline that was metal, were so small and hex head, they immediately stripped. I had to take 20 minutes to drill them out. If the company would have replied, I would have worked with them but it is silent city. Be warned, if you but this car, you are on your own.

Nice, well built

Fun little basher buggy. Tuff as nails takes a beating.

I got this rc and at first it worked great. Right around my 3rd or 4th time using it, it would only drive about 10 feet then shut down. I would restart it and still same thing. I opened it up... no loose wires and tightened all the screws on the motor. Still same thing. It never seen water and no serious crashes. Now it's been sitting for weeks. Not really willing to spend money on parts to fix it as I down know what needs to be replaced.

Ok

It broke within the 1st week. Very disappointed.
