1:16 RTR Brushless High Speed RC Cars for Adults, Max 42mph Hobby Electric Off-Road Jumping RC Monster Trucks, Oil Filled Shocks 4WD Remote Control Car with 2 Batteries for Boys

I purchased this not expecting a whole lot for the price but was pleasantly surprised by the looks of it and the included items. Two 7.4v 2s Lipo batteries are included with Dean's style plugs on them, not my first choice for plugs but simple enough to update them to EC3 when I get a chance but for the size of the vehicle Dean's will be fine for use by anyone it is just a personal choice of mine to conform with the rest of my collection. Including two bodies is a great bonus when on some of the larger branded cars like Traxxas and Arrma a extra body is $40 or more in extra cost. The bag of parts included had extra Spur gears and shocks and various screws and clips and a couple axles. Two USB chargers are included for the batteries but they charged easily on my larger Hitec X2 charger and balanced good. Shocks felt decent for the size and could probably use some thicker weight oil in the future to not be as bouncy on some terrain. The remote feels decent in the hand, it's not a Radiolink or a Futaba but for the price it's a nice remote with a 3rd channel switch for the bright LED lightbar on the front and a OFF-70%-100% power switch. Playing around with the switch and i found there is a noticeable difference in power for the switch so that is great for little ones just learning. The mount for the battery is nice and secure and I noticed in the bag there is some Velcro for larger batteries included.Taking it out to drive the first time on 2s my first impression is it has a nice amount of torque for it's size out of the 2845 4200kv brushless motor that it comes with. I was able to make it wheelie quite easily and if i jumped on the throttle too quickly it would diff out and spin out on takeoff which can be easily solved by putting some thicker oil in the rear diff and is a common issue with cars with too much power for their size but if you ease into the throttle instead of just flooring it then you can keep it straight. The steering has a nice amount of travel and will turn very tight fast turns but can be a little twitchy due to a surprisingly fast steering servo but I learned quickly to be easy on the wheel. Range was good on my marked test distance of 150 feet and never cut out or glitched. Speed looked to be around 35mph on 2s on my test area and I expect on 3s to get 45mph+ based on the motor and gearing and will be a handful on 3s to keep straight. Tires are nice and spongy and had good grip in the dirt, but had no foam by the feel of it but neither does my much larger Arrma Gorgon so it is not a negative.All in all for the price it is above and beyond what you would expect and with a couple small tweaks like the shocks and diff fluids changed it can become a very capable machine for low cost bashing for a beginner or a kid, or usage as a spare car for visitors to enjoy. I have very capable and large expensive RC cars and still had fun with this and I know If I handed it off to someone new to RC they would have fun.

The media could not be loaded. I have played with a number of RC cars/trucks and this one is definitely awesome. Would recommend! It's really fast, though, so make sure you have a good open area to drive it in!**Speed**Let's get straight to the point: this RC truck is fast. I wasn't expecting a ton from a truck this size, but it definitely packs a punch. You can start out gentle with the 70% throttle limit (which is really nice, especially as you're getting more familiar with the controls), but crank it to 100% and it'll zip on by. It advertises around 40+ mph speeds, which is seriously impressive. I didn't have a radar detector to test exactly how fast it was going, but as you'll see in my video, it does accelerate extremely quickly and can reach pretty high speeds.**Off-Roading**I was pleasantly surprised by this truck's off-road capabilities. The tires are grippy and offer plenty of traction, and the suspension does a good job of soaking up bumps and rough terrain. It also has decent ground clearance, so you're not constantly bottoming out. See the part of my video where the truck goes up and down some steep hills (not in the video, but I was also able to get it through some deep leaf and dirt piles without issue). One unexpected bonus is the self-righting feature – it's not perfect, as it doesn't work every time, but it can save you from a few awkward walks if you happen to flip over. I had it flip a number of times because I was making it go so fast but it bounced back upright and was good to go.**Battery Life**During my tests, the battery held up consistently for a good 20-30 minutes of non-stop action. Obviously, how hard you push the truck can affect the run time, but overall the battery life seems reliable and gives you plenty of time to have some fun. If you turn off the lights, it can help save battery too (although that's even more of the fun at night!). It comes with a second backup battery and it's easy to change out. There's a little rotating knob inside the truck, just turn it and it'll open the cover for the battery.**Durability**So far, this RC truck has proven itself to be surprisingly tough. I've had a few crashes and even some unintentional flips, and it's bounced back without issue. I also chased some squirrels and my dog (he consented—he enjoys it when he sees any RC car) and the dog sort of lunged at/toppled over the truck, but it was totally fine. Obviously, you don't want to make a habit of abusing it, but it's nice to know this RC truck can handle a bit of rough and tumble play. Got some leaves stuck in the wheel, too, and easily extracted it without any problem for the truck.Overall, the WIAORCHI truck is a solid option—especially if you're looking for something with serious speed. I wouldn't let the kids play with this at 100% power unless you have a ton of open space to use—but the 70% at low throttle should be fine for beginners. Overall, It's powerful, handles well, and comes with features that make it an exciting ride. Let me know if you have any specific questions – I've had a lot of fun playing with this car and look forward to more fun!

Overall, I was stunned at what came for $70, even after the first use I was ready to write a glowing review. However...reality set in and that old saying about getting what you pay for punched me in the face yet again. To start out, out of the box these little trucks are way faster than some of my more well-known brands of 1/16th scale trucks. They others were also double the price though, but still running. I bought two of these trucks and the EXACT same problem occurred in both of them. This was all in a span of 3 battery charges. Sooo...figure about 20 minutes of bashing per charge and each truck failed within one hour of use. I tore them apart and found the same issue with each. My expert diagnosis is that the motor is too powerful for whatever cheap material they made the pinion gear from. Both were totally stripped of their gears rendering the truck useless. Fine then I say to myself...I'll just put another pinion gear on the motor shaft from my parts bin. Nope, the cheap screws holding on some spacer plates (not sure why else they would be oh there) also stripped while trying to remove them from the motor. So now I have two totally useless RC cars cluttering up my workbench and now I know why they were only $70.Just spend the $$$ and get a more well know brand of RC vehicle.
