HM164 - 1/16 Brushless RC Monster Truck (3 Batteries)

Awesome entry level truck with great customer support! Will be buying more now!

I have a Bezgar 9 and another near Hobby Grade RC as well as a few toy grades.Boxing: Everything is secure. The batteries are provided and necessarytools to operate the RC.Controller: Decent quality, the same thing that comes with other Bezgar models. Trim feature, a high low mode, standard hobby level stuff.Build Quality: Solid, like other similar quality RCs. It has some weight to it, but not too heavy. Metal drive train, composite framing. It should last if you aren'thitting posts non stop. The shells are thin and will probably break in the near future. This is as expected. The oilfilled shocks are the same used with the Bezgar9. It looks like you could add secondaryshocks to the back.Torque - The torque is out of this world. This thingflies. It may be a little too fast, certainly too fastfor a 5 year old. Me, I can barely handle it, surelythat gets better with practice.Grass Driving: It doesn't do as well at the 9, but the 9 is much bigger and has ability to run through grass better, larger ties etc.. This thing bounces a bit in the heavy St. Augustine grass. If your primary use was on St. Augustine grass, I would look to a larger vehicle. Thinner, lighter grass should not be a problem for this.Pavement Driving: The tires are pretty sticky, it will slide around when you need it too. The torque is just insane in high mode (low mode its just right).. It will pull wheelies and seems a little unstable on high mode.(probably more related to user ability) But this thing flat out flies. I don't know how fast it goes, but seemsfaster than the Bezgar 9.Overall - if you can get this for a decent price, it a nice RC. There are spare parts. I beat it up pretty good and only had a shock pop off, which is better than busting. It is too much for a young kid and not perfect in grass, but rips on pavement, has a solid motor and overall its a fun little machine.

So far it looks great! We will see how well it works on Christmas morning.

Pretty sweet so far. Good battery life from what I have seen. Car is fast and 4wd works well.

Guys I just dont get it. It works great for like 3-4 weeks then it starts going crazy.Iy will randomly start driving and this sucker is fast so it becomes a problem. I live on a road and its goes straight in the road uncontrolled. Clearly wr can't play with it anymore.I got this replaced once and the exact same thing has happened to the second one. The holidays hit and I didn't make the return window.Don't waste your money

Awesome little truck! Great speed and control. Oil filled shocks handles jumps with ease. Battery bag, spare parts, additional battery and additional shell to paint! So many extras. Metal driveline and brushless power. Speed switch so the little ones can have a go.
