Fun, fast, tough, large, and good value.I'll try to write this review for people who may or may not be entirely familiar with hobby grade RC cars and answer as many questions as I can think of.Had it for over a month, played with it probably 30 times already and it's great. I did get upgraded batteries for more run time and power, but even with the included battery it's still a very fast car. The included battery lasts around 20 minutes or so, and with the 5000mah ones I bought I get close to 45 minutes, running it hard. Remember: if you get larger batteries you have to rebuild the battery tray to accommodate it, some people don't seem to get that part. But it will absolutely fit a 5000mah lipo pack after some easy rebuilding (all the needed parts for this are included by the way).I like how the throttle trim is variable from 0-100 percent, some cars only have a switch for 70% or 100% power. Honestly most of the time I keep the throttle trim at 50 percent because it's still really fast at that setting; and more controllable off road. The variable throttle trim means this is also a great RC car for beginners or little kids, you can cut the throttle way back in order to get a feel of how to control it properly. Then slowly up the trim to increase the speed. By the way, the speed control is proportional, good range on the controller trigger so there's great throttle control there too. Squeeze the trigger a little, and it goes slowly, squeeze it fully, and you're at full throttle. Same goes for the turning, you turn the knob a little and the wheels turn a little; turn it all the way, the wheels turn a lot. There's also a good steering trim too, but I just keep it at 100.Steering is really tight for the size tires it comes with and the steering servo works well. The brushless motor is really powerful, you can do a 4 wheel burnout on asphalt and concrete and donuts all day long on gravel. The tires it comes with are super grippy, great for off-roading, but almost too grippy for concrete and pavement lol, you will flip it at high speeds on smooth surfaces if you turn too sharp. I recommend putting the wheelie bar it comes with on the back. The included tires seem to be durable, the tread is still great on them even after a lot of play.Shocks are pretty good, they do their job but could be a little stiffer. Still fine though.The chassis is one single chunk of aluminum and is solid, and modular, leaving lots of options for upgrades. It's not going anywhere so you don't have to worry about hitting the underside, it can handle it. The on/off switch is located in a very accessible area on the top side of the chassis so you don't have to worry about hitting the button off of anything like you do when they're mounted on the underside.The drive train is great, able to easily handle the torque the stock motor pumps out, I think you can upgrade the motor and the esc but they're more than adequate for me. The 4 wheel drive system is awesome and provides plenty of traction. The differential(s) allow for some very tight turning radius.Most of the stock parts like the motor mounts, suspension arms, etc, are thick plastic and so far they've all held up great. There are aluminum upgraded parts available if you need/want them for performance or esthetics. Maybe I'll upgrade them in the future but for now I'm happy with them.Range is great, I've stood at one end of a football field and drove it to the other side and back. No delay and no dropped connection.I've driven it through powdery snow, through wet slush, through thick mud, over gravel at top speed, through the woods with thick leaf cover and branches, on grassy lawns, through high grass, through dry and wet sand, on a couple frozen ponds, standing water, and lots and lots off serious off roading in the moutains where I live, it's able to climb extremely uneven and rocky terrain without trouble. It'll climb steep hills no problem, plenty of power to do so. It isn't a true rock crawler but it's very capable off road.The electronics seem to truly be water resistant, like I said, I've had it out running in wet conditions many times with no issues. In fact, the way I clean it after getting it muddy is to take it inside, remove the battery, and literally wash it off with my shower wand, inside and out. No issues there either.The only thing you need to be careful of is the body shell, and a couple of other reviews have said this as well, but the material the body is made of seems to be a little brittle. I've flipped it at full speed many times and it held up just fine, it has a reinforced roll cage on the top parts of the shell and they do their job, they'll scratch because they're plastic, but who cares? That being said; the rest of the shell is thin plastic, and if you slam it into something (or flip it at high speeds end over end like I did) there's a decent chance it'll break or at least crack. That's what happened to me. Luckily it didn't shatter into pieces so I was able to superglue and then epoxy the body together easily enough. I recommend doing what I did afterwards and line the underside of the body shell with thick duct tape to help stiffen it up and increase durability. Now it seems much stronger. But if you don't want to do all that you can just buy a replacement for like 40 bucks. Don't use foil tape like I was going to because it might interfere with the radio signal. Probably not but it could due to the metal in the tape. Cloth duct tape is strong and allows radio waves to pass through.For the price I definitely recommend buying this if you're looking for a fun RC truck. I've had nitro RC cars before and this is just as fast, and much easier to work with. I'm not an expert on RC cars but I've loved Radio controlled vehicles my whole life , so I've gone through my fair share of them. This one is the best one I've had so far, and it was under 200 dollars.****Edit After Having it for nearly 4 months****Took it out and bashed it all over the place through various terrains and conditions. I put probably 150 battery charges through it. It's held up pretty good. Just a few things that happened. I broke the body shell even more, but I just keep fixing it with duct tape and epoxy. I kind of like how it looks lol and don't even get mad if it breaks more. It also makes me not really care how hard I bash it around.The one rear wheel shaft did snap after taking a tumble at full speed, easy fix and cheap. The differential cup slots on the rear that lock the dog bone in are starting to get a little worn and are becoming egg shaped, it still runs fine though, I'm going to order more for when they eventually need replaced. The tires are still holding up great, lots of tread left so that's nice.The pinion gear (the one that's attached directly to the motor) that was originally installed came loose and wore itself down pretty badly, even to the point where the lock screw was mangled. But thankfully it uses a fairly standardized 48p size pinion gear. I just bought a multipack of pinion gears for like 11 dollars off Amazon. It also includes an extra pinion gear with higher teeth count for higher top speed, I like lower teeth count for more torque though. But you do have a spare if needed. I recommend putting some threadlock on the lock screw and on the motor shaft to hold it in place, you can remove the part with some heat in the future if you need to. The spur gear that mates to the pinion is holding up just fine.The battery velcro straps both broke at the weld point but I just glued them together with super glue and duct tape. They still do their job. The power button is held on with double sided tape and it came off. I just put a piece of heat resistant, super strength double sided tape and it isn't going anywhere. No biggie.The bearings on the wheels are starting to get a little squeaky, but they've had a lot of dust, water, mud, as well as just normal use on them and they do still work. Probably will need replaced here in a few months. But they're still functional for now.I do think I'm going to upgrade the steering servo with something a little more powerful, but the included one is still working normally. I just like faster servos for steering. And I think I'm going to replace the shocks with something stiffer, but again, the included ones are holding up just fine.Apart from the things I mentioned, the important structural components are still good and haven't had any problems. I like this truck so much I bought the upgraded version to have as a backup. I think I might buy one for my daughter since she's been getting into RC cars a lot lately lol.10/10 would (and will) buy again.

Got this for my 15 year old daughter, Her brothers had received a different brand brushless here about a year ago and she wanted one too. Loves it, very fast, I like the fan cooled esc etc. Looks like good quality. Only have a few days of running so far. And I bought the repair plan coverage, so that almost guarantees I will never need it. Lol.

Ok, first off, I have been driving this truck within reasonable expectations of what it can do, and have broken NOTHING. That said, I have not:curb slammed it, thrown it off high jumps, smashed it into things, or allowed it to tumble and roll. I say that because I have seen numerous reviews tearing this model apart for apparently not being durable. This thing is SOLID. Folks. It's an rc car. A miniature machine. And any machine, pushed to its limit, will give at some point. Now, if breaking things and then blaming the product is your forte, knock yourself out. Personally, I take zero pleasure in trying to break my RC models, and drive them as such.So, if you keep it upright, drive it like it's meant to be driven, and appreciate a quality rc car, you won't be disappointed.Could definitely benefit from a longer running battery.Will update once I try the speed gear!

This thing can fly. Well pieced and love the handling. It’s fast. Fun to race and jump. Pretty durable for the this class R/C. Tires grip well all terrain. Great price range

First purchased this truck for $190 on sale I didn’t know there was a carbon version at the time. I understood it was a Chinese brand but I have a process to help mitigate the lemons from companies with little to no quality control (listed below). I just wanted something to work well for the price to get me back into the hobby. I’ve had a traxxas, but mostly tyco cars growing up. This was my second hobby grade car.Day 1 I had issues with the esc. Pressing the throttle forward led to it continuing forward movement albeit slowly. Same for reverse. As if throttle trim was someone set for both forward and reverse. Restarted it and it worked but ultimately returned it because I learned that the carbon version had many upgrades for $50 and that others had esc issues and that I could potential keep having them. It’s better to return un damaged than hope for the best.THE REALITY OF BUYING FROM COMPANIES LIKE THIS:Part of the issue with these brands is they don’t have quality control. I know there’s a chance to have a lemon but if there are many people who do not, then I know there’s a quality versions that exist. It’s the price you pay for buying these brands (literally, R&D and quality control cost a company a lot of money that gets passed onto the consumer). These brands are cheap for a reason. This is a brand who has fixed issues and made newer ideations over there short time as a company.MY PROCESS FOR BUYING UNPROVEN BRANDSHere’s my advice purchasing brands like this.1st. Do the research on the devices that do what you want them to do. Find people who do follow up reviews (9months living with the Rlaarlo terminator).Baby the device and keep the packaging. For an easily damaged RC car don’t hit jumps on your first ride. Don’t put the body on. Just drive it around your house, then outside. Then try a jump and keep pushing it until you learn it’s at least not an immediate issue because. This doesn’t help with long term but it’s very easy to return undamaged items, but with an item that can be very easy to damage they can and Rlarrlo will dock your return if you send back damage that you caused. When I returned it said they will issue the refund after the product is assessed and if damaged it will reflect the amount refunded.WHY I ULTIMATELY WENT WITH THE CARBONif I replaced the Alloy truck I likely would’ve been fine. I don’t think this version is a lemon. However, the carbon version is more like a 2.0 than another version of the car. It came out later and addressed some issues people discussed so rather than replace the truck I purchased the carbon version for $220 on sale and have had no issues with it.The carbon version has a more capable motor and esc, stronger drivetrain and spiraled differentials. For those who don’t really do RC stuff, those are quite impressive and never found on a truck of this size or price. It’s why it’s become so popular and even the hardcore hobbies have purchased it. For them it’s easy to replace items they think would wear quickly or to give upgrades to certain components. A similarly spect truck would be closer to $400. Now that $400 truck might have similar components but it also likely comes with better overall components. Arguably it’s cheaper to upgrade the carbon to the $400-500 level truck than it is to just purchase the more expensive truck. The question becomes if it’s worth your time and money.For someone experienced person or even someone with the money I can see wanting to just buy a ready to run tried and tested product for $400 and just have fun when they want, but for those who love tinkering or those getting into the hobby, this is more worth it.I might not jump the truck at a skate park like the YouTube videos show but being less experienced I have crashed and flipped it many times. I purchased this because I learned it was very strong. I have not broken anything yet but I am enjoying tinkering and want to start upgrading parts. They skimp on the differential fluid so that forced me to do research and have to take apart my truck to learn its internals. I installed the added pinion gear to increase its speed as well. I’ve enjoyed tinkering and now want to put bigger tires on it which will require upgrading certain components so it will handle the added stress. After the upgrades I will have spent close to what a traxxas Rustler ultimate will have costed but I got to do it myself and it is still about $100 cheaper than the Rustler.Hope this helps. Get the carbon version and test it first. If it works great, you got a good one. Have fun, it’s one of the best driving trucks for its size and money.

Great car, super fast. Battery doesn't last long but you can buy a different one online or at. Hobby shop.
