So every year I purchase every male in our family a cool toy. My husband loves this and so do my 2 grown sons. I saw these and I purchase 14 of these trucks and cars. Every male and my daughter-in-law all received a different truck or car. I was the hero this Christmas. I purchased these cars in December of 2021. All 14 cars are still working just like the days they came out of the box. These cars go extremely fast. Just opening the box I new this remote controlled truck is much more substantial and very sturdy and well made. I purchased earlier in December a remote controlled truck for my grandson for 3 times this price and this little truck blew that one out of the water. That truck would have stopped working within the first week. Our whole family are the biggest Bezgar fans. When we have our Sunday family dinners it is just a known fact that everyone is to bring their Bezgar trucks or car that you received from Santa in December for family races. My grown sons and husband and grandsons setup jumps and hills and huge curves in our yard to add to the action when racing. Thank goodness Bezgar thought ahead and included a second battery at no extra cost because these guys are no joke when racing. We have 4 acres and they use every bit of it to race. I was stunned at how well made these vehicles are. These pictures I have included are my husbands vehicle today. He plays with this truck every day. After he sits down and cleans it just like he does our vehicles. He is a fire fighter. If anyone else that reads this is a fireman or friend of a fireman or a spouse of a fireman know exactly what I am talking about when I talk about how clean our vehicles are inside and out. He keeps this truck that clean. This truck has been in mud, grass, dirt, gravel, concrete and it still looks brand new. Don't waste your hard earned money on those over priced jokes that you can buy at the store. Just visit the Bezgar Store and get one of these truly remarkable remote controlled vehicles. I promise you will be writing a review just like mine. I had to contact the Bezgar store about one of the 14 vehicles. They answered me within the hour in December 2021 6 days before Christmas. I was so impressed with the top notch customer service I received. I am a Bezgar fan for life.

The HM181 is based off PxToys 9302/Speed Pioneer, a popular 1/18 scale truck. It's a great platform, and I think BEZGAR managed to improve on it.Pretty much every iteration of this truck I have seen does come with metal dog bones for both front and rear, and this one is no exception. BEZGAR's HM181, however, comes with two different color bodies, and in my opinion, look MUCH better than the one that the 9302/Speed Pioneer comes with. And while the other variants by other companies include Li-ion packs, BEZGAR one-ups them and includes not one, but TWO 850 mAh Li-Po packs with a Li-Po bag to safely store them in. The included transmitter is also better. This is a very well put together truck and you can actually feel and hear it. It's very smooth.Being the 1/18 scale that it is, replacement and upgrade parts are inexpensive, and you can find them fairly easy. The only "downside" of this truck is that it comes with 'Tamiya' plugs, instead of the more widely used 'T-plugs' (Deans), but that's quite alright, as I can always solder them on. No biggie. I wouldn't let the plugs detract you from the purchase, though, as they are quite fine for this setup.I have to mention that while this Amazon listing/product info does correctly state that these are spring shocks, the box inaccurately states that they come with oil-filled shocks. They are non oil-filled, but as I mentioned above, it's rather cheap to upgrade them (about $10 a pair). Still, for non oil-filled shocks, they hold up on this truck decently. I don't normally say that about spring shocks. In fact, I have never said that. These are a bit better for sure, so you won't have to go out and immediately replace them, if ever.The box also incorrectly states that the transmission cups are metal, but they are actually plastic. It's the dog bones that are metal.The last incorrect claim on the box is a little tricky. It states that the tires have foam inserts in them, but I'm not too sure about that. Not only do they feel like there isn't, I reached out to a few RC YouTube channels to verify this, and they too said that it doesn't feel like they are. Without cutting them open, it's tough to verify this, and I'm not going to do that. If there are foam inserts, then they must be really thin and soft ones to the point where you can easily feel the contours of the walls of the rims/wheels.To BEZGAR: I understand that nowhere on your product listing does it make any of these claims, but it would be nice to make the above corrections on your box to correctly reflect what actually comes equipped on the truck to avoid any confusion with your customers.This is an RTR kit. And it really is, as they even include the three (3) AA batteries for the transmitter so that you don't have to go run out and buy them to play with the truck. All you need to do is charge up the Li-Po packs, and you're set. The box comes with everything you will need to get up and running. Awesome for the kid who receives this as a gift. I remember how that felt when I was young. It was such a drag. To have them included can be a game changer for a youngan and his/her unboxing experience.I can't end this review without mentioning BEZGAR's outstanding customer service. They are prompt and very helpful. I reached out to them concerning a different model I am reviewing, and I didn't mention that I was a Vine Reviewer. They got back to me in less than a day, updated me via email every step of the way, and was very kind and professional. They aim to satisfy their customers and I can tell.At first I thought BEZGAR was no different from any other company who sells rebranded RC cars/trucks, but after owning several from them and experiencing their level of service, I am going to have to change my mind. They are a clear cut above the rest. For some of their models, you may end up paying a little more than what other companies charge for theirs, but you do get a level of service that you won't find with the other companies. And while some of the changes made to their iteration on some models may not be the most ideal, in my opinion, they do try and compensate by including things such as Li-Po packs over Li-ion, and/or Li-Po bags, an extra body, more batteries, etc...I'll conclude by saying that while the RC cars/trucks BEZGAR offers are aimed towards the younger, or more novice crowd, they can be fun for anyone, even for the more seasoned folk. The HM181 being as small as it is can be played with inside very easily. And should you take it outside, it is IPX5 rated, so splashes, and small puddles will be fine. Just don't go mud bogging with it, or submerge it in water. It isn't a submarine. If you're thinking about this truck as a gift for someone, do it. This is probably the best iteration of this truck I have seen, and with their great customer service, you just can't go wrong. I'm sure the recipient will adore it. 5/5

This is my 2nd RC car and 1st from Bezgar.I was excited because I heard so many good reviews of Bezgar RC cars. Out of the box came the remote control, the car, an extra body shell, a case, extra pins to secure some parts, tools, a battery, instruction manual, and a charger. What was surprising was that the battery was a spare battery as their was already one hooked up to the car.There were stickers to show you how to treat the car such as removing the film, which to turn on first and etc. After turning on both the remote and car, it paired immediately. The controls are pretty touch sensitive; especially the trigger to accelerate. I'll tell you what...when it accelerates, it takes off. This thing is fast. It does take some time to get used to the sensitivity of the controls, but not much if you are playing with it enough. I got used to it in about 30 minutes, but everyone is different.It is a beginner level RC car, so there is almost no customizations and does not take much maintenance as other higher level RC cars. Overall, this is a must have for anyone getting into the world of RC as it's definitely beginner level, but is pretty on par in terms of performance.

I think my husband has as much fun with this car as my son does! It is so fast! They drive it all around our property including in the grass, gravel, and even through the stream. The stream is very shallow, and this car has no issues zipping right through it. The steering wheel is easy to use. My 8 yo son can handle it well. The battery life seems good. They get over an hour of drive time out of it. Comes with two different covers so you can change the color of the body. It can either be red or orange. This is a pretty awesome little car! Provides hours of fun, and the quality is great. Would make a great gift for any age.

This RC car is great! It is small enough to play with in the house but as with other Bezgar products tough enough to play with outside. With two batteries there is plenty of play time. It is tough, fast, and has plenty of power to climb and jump. Loads of fun for all ages.

Bought for a Christmas present. Ran the car for 20 minutes and now we hear a grinding sound. We are in the process of the return and hope the replacement is better. Also hitting reverse didn’t always work. Will revise review if second car is better.
