Excellent hobby grade RC.Plenty of upgrade/replacement parts available for the inevitable.Have bashed it pretty hard so far & nothing broke yet.

?Good little rc truck, has some good zip for its size. Decent components, metal chassis, brushless motor, 45A ESC and a support rod. Looks good, runs good right out of the box. For the price I feel there's better options but if you end up with this you'll still be satisfied. Even comes with mini paddle tires which seem like will work wonders in the sand or dirt when I use them. But very cool for them to include extra tires, especially paddles!

One of the best brushless RC's I ever bought on Bezgar. So much fun. So fast. The kids will love it. I love it and I'm a full adult. Yep, men never grow up, and I don't care. Enjoy this!

My daughter and I are using two remote control trucks: the 161s car and this one. I thought it would be useful to compare and contrast them. .Like the 161s, my daughter and I have a blast driving this r/c vehicle. It's a fun car to drive and easy use.- Durable: This is a tough car. It's got a lightweight body cover that's easy to pop on and off but durable when in use. It takes bumps and jumps well and has survived a number of direct, hard hits to solid objects at speed. The build quality seems good with the parts having a substantial feel to them. It is, in build quality, virtually identical to the 161s, leading me to believe that they are manufactured from the same plans. There are some minor difference in the internals.The battery on the 161s is smaller in footprint and seems to last not as long as the 161s. Speed: This thing goes fast! It has enough torque that you need to get used to accelerating smoothly or it can flip on you. There is an optional wheel extension to help with this. We don't use it and have been able to control the power pretty well. It is listed as going slightly higher in top speed that the 161s but it seems like a minor difference in practice.- Traction: The car goes over multiple terrains well and can transition smoothly from one to another (grass to sand, etc). The tires make excellent contact with ground and the quality shocks absorb the bumps in the ground well.- Battery life: The car will last approximately 20-25 minutes on a full charge. The charge time is pleasantly short as well so you can charge them up and get back out quickly.The transmitter feels more solidly constructed with this car than the 161s. Additionally, it has a bit more functionality as well. Another big difference I noticed between the cars was the transmission quality. While this car would consistently receive a signal wherever we drove it, the 161s would momentarily lose connectivity with the vehicle from time to time, particularly as the distance grew larger. This car definitely has a superior controller. On the (slight) downside, this car only comes with one body kit.This was a solid product and has given us hours of fun. This is a good r/c vehicle for all ages and levels but is also an easy car to learn to control for beginners once you get used to controlling the acceleration.

Thing is a beast

Obviously it's brand new to the market so I cannot speak to its longevity/durability yet. However, It's got all the right specs to give one confidence. With hardened metal gears all around, sealed ball bearings all around, metal shafts all around, metal outdrive cups, aluminum oil shocks, and upgraded dog bones, metal chassis. it should hold up quite well. Speaking of the shocks they are oil filled. I noticed no leakage in the packaging. Bezgar has been around a while in other markets (NA, Europe, etc) so I'm not too worried. My first time out was super fun. First thing I did was run it off the steps leading into our garage. There are 3 steps and it was well balanced in the air, landed on all 4 wheels, no bounce, and just took off. The suspension seems really nice. Had some fun doing donuts on the polished concrete garage floor, the unpolished concrete apron in front of our garage, the gravel driveway, etc. Also ran it through the grass in the yard. Seems to handle quite nicely overall. I can't wait to make some jumps, and watch the kid have a go with it.There are a couple of nice bonuses thrown in. There is an extra set of wheels with paddle tires on it. I got about 20 minutes of driving my first time out..The rear wing does not come pre-installed. You have to put that on yourself with the 2 provided screws. Easy enough. Same with the wheelie bar, though I haven't put that on. I'm not sure I will as I don't have high traction surface (gravel, dirt, grass) so it doesn't seem to need it. .Controller seems fine. It fits my average sized adult hand fine. I can't one-hand steer with it. It has steering trim. I do appreciate the inclusion of steering dual rate and throttle dual rate (they just label it as "speed"). These allow you to adjust the maximum steering throw and top speed which is a super nice feature for making this more beginner friendly. In addition to the dual rates you also get steering and throttle reverse. The transmitter was pre-bound to the receiver at the factory and trim was perfectly set out of the box.It's about 12.6 inches long, 9.1 inches wide, and a little over 4 inches tall. It's big enough to run on gravel, and through grass/leaves and stuff. Some of the smaller vehicles struggle with that.Overall, this has to be one of the best values out there, especially if you can snag it on a discount. 4x4, brushless, metal gears, shafts, shocks, extra 4 sand tires ,ball bearings, etc. etc. It's hard to beat from a value perspective.Possible downsides:only comes with one battery. That seems to be the way of the world these days. I would recommend replacing the USB charger with a "real" charger that can do balance charging, storage charging, etc. That's not a knock on this model though. That applies to virtually any charger provided by any manufacturer. You do have to provide 3 AA for the transmitter.
