Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the Volcano EPX Electric Monster Truck's durability and affordable price as significant strengths. Many also appreciate its four-wheel drive capabilities. However, a common complaint centers around the relatively short battery life. Improvements to battery performance would enhance the overall user experience.

    I bought this for my 4 year old nephew not realizing how fast it actually goes and how heavy this is. It should be for a teenager or an adult. But my nephew loves it to say the least....

    I found this item for sale $139. I like that it offers replacement parts online through the company directly. I was not a fan of how flimsy the material is for the outer piece

    This product is the worse. Run time is 5-8 mins or less. Drains too fast. Loud noise as soon as you turn it on transmitter noise.

    my grandson is very pleased with this RC car. He uses it almost every day, it goes all over the yard and in the driveway. He and his friends have races with their cars, he wins most of the time. We are very satisfied.

    The speed was lacking for what we wanted, but it was a decent truck for a young kid or beginner.

    Purchased this truck after reading reviews online and the price being comparable to other retailers. I purchased it, when I got it home and put it together. I did the initial run and immediately noticed this loud clanking noise. Even my wife noticed the noise and wondered if that was normal. I have a couple of other rc cars, even the volcano 18 also by redcat that I got from best buy. It definitely didn't make that noise. It sounded like when you try to start a car with a dead battery. After returning it and replacing it back at the store I did the same things and same noise. I called redcat support to see if i could get some help and they told me to take the motor out and see if the gear mesh was ok. I don't feel that for a brand new out of the package vehicle I should have to be doing anything other than minor adjustments. Tightening a few bolts. So from my experience avoid this car. I severely doubt that I had such the misfortune to get 2 lemons.

    I bought a Volcano RC Truck for my son for Christmas. You will not find a better "ready to run" RC vehicle for your money. Would definitely recommend!!!
