Hosim Mini 1:8 Brushless RC Cars for Adults, VEXARO MAX 50MPH High Speed Rc Truck Fast, 4X4 Remote Control Car All Terrain RC Truggy Waterproof Off Road Hobby Grade Large Monster Truck with 3S Battery

The media could not be loaded. I am a long time RC car enthusiast. I’ve really enjoyed the hobby for over 40 years. I have a dozen hobby grade cars and still enjoy them with my kids. And I’m certainly not gentle with them and do my own repairs. So trust me when I tell you that I appreciate how much better the cars have gotten. I’ve had a few Hosim cars over the years too. I have been quick to point out that they have been doing great with the smaller scale cars, with room to improve. But this is the first one in such a large scale. 1:8 has long been the territory of the well-established ‘big boys’. Well, they better look out.This car is seriously quick with a forgivable amount of cogging. Tons of torque making it fun to pick the front wheels off the ground. And impressive how stable the car is, allowing for hard cornering. On flips, unintentional or not, the weighting allows it to land right side up.Liberal use of metal components on a 3s car is pretty refreshing. Obviously plastic has a time and place allowing for weight reduction and good shock resistance. But I like to see metal drive components and structural members.So you don’t think this is just a fanboy review, let me mention what could be improved. The battery life is not great. Largely because this is a heavy car and it has a ton of usable power. A larger capacity battery would be my first upgrade. And while this is a nice self-contained kit, I recommend investing in a faster charger asap. And finally, as mentioned before, there is some cogging. For the next version, that might be an area for improvement.Make no mistake, this is a well-designed, well-executed car. What a tremendous value for the price.

Ok first thing, this is a big RC car however on this it is not a 1/5 scale it's more like a 1/8 scale, yes it is larger than a 1/10 by several inches so it is a good size. Build wise it's really a nice solid construction especially for the price. Great suspension travel and clearance so it will be good on and off road. I would recommend trimming the body behind the front wheels a little bit so it doesn't cut the tires when the wheels are fully turned and shocks are compressed when off roading.The motor and speed controller have cooling fans so the vitals will be cool. All in all a great value for the price. Lot's of fun. Very fast for it's size.

I purchased this RC truck for my dog to chase around. It is extremely fast and fun! Except there's one major major design flaw. The tires are so close to the body they rub on the fender when the wheels turn. You can hear the tires hitting the plastic body when driving it. I didn't think much of it at first until I noticed one of the tires getting cut open. This happened on just the 2nd time using the truck! I contacted support and they assured me there is no design flaw (lol). They shipped me a replacement tire but said it would take a few weeks to arrive. I continued to use the truck, just being careful not to give it too much throttle while turning to keep the tire from getting worse. This seemed to mostly work until the truck quit turning altogether. Upon closer inspection some screw or bolt came loose inside the chassis that controls steering. This all happened on 5 batteries. I decided to go ahead and return the truck seeing as to get to the loose part it would require taking a lot of things apart. I'm not as much an RC hobbyist to the point I want to be fixing stuff like this every 5 batteries. I just want to drive the RC in my yard for my dog to chase.The truck looks extremely high quality inside and out, and has a LOT of power. If you have the time to take it apart and fix things regularly, this is probably and excellent RC. But they really need to fix the body design. I imagine Amazon will be getting a lot of returns due to the plastic slicing open tires.

The media could not be loaded. This RC truck is fantastic for both kids and adults! It’s built tough and ready to handle any challenge you throw its way. Not only is it incredibly durable, but it’s also impressively fast, making it a blast to race around or tackle jumps and tricks.We pushed it to the limit—performing backflips off trees, launching it into long jumps, and testing its speed and durability—and it handled everything like a champ. One standout feature is the skid plate on the bottom, which does an excellent job of absorbing impacts and protecting the truck from damage. That’s a huge plus, especially if you’re taking it off-road or into rough terrain.My son and I have put this truck through the wringer, and it exceeded our expectations every time. If you’re looking for an RC truck that delivers speed, fun, durability, and great value, this is the one to get!

Had it 10 minutes, battery wouldn't charge. Waste of time and money, luckily Amazon's return policy is great!
