The truck didn't look like it was going to be any different from the other cheap trucks that we have bought before. It was a good surprise! Definitely has some speed to it and there are replacement parts for almost everything that could possibly break!

This truck is quick, but yet easy to control even for children. The four wheel drive action helps with controlling it with ease.

Bought this for my son looks good works great. Like other posters have said it is very fast had to block the trigger to cap his speed.only cons, thought if would have been bigger, if you follow the instructions the want you to take it apart and put medium strength locktite on all the screws.

A Good RC Car for the Price

If you are looking to get into RC vehicles at an entry hobby level this is the right place to start. It's a good vehicle, capable of handing a wide variety of terrain. I've had mine on dirt tracks, sand volleyball pits, through the grass, streets, and the beach by the ocean (even ran it into the water a little). This truck is quick. In fact, I would not recommend it for young children because of the speed it is capable of reaching. Replacement parts are readily available through local hobby stores.

Price is right. Very fast out of the box. Good looking truck. A little twitchy at high speeds but that is what the trims on the controller are for. Great for indoor and outdoor use. Built pretty tough. I broke a piece of the rear suspension because i jumped it at an obnoxious height. Found the part on Redcat's website quickly. SAVE YOUR OWNERS MANUAL. They have all the part numbers in them. Redcat even offers metal upgrades from plastic. These are hobby grade rc cars and just because a piece broke does not mean the vehicle is done for. Everything is replaceable/upgradeable. I have always loved Redcat products because they are affordable when compared to the competition and very fun!

Bought it for my 7 year old for Christmas, he loves it, this thing is really fast for the money, pretty well put together as I have seen it flip several times and keep on rolling, charge times are slow but battery run time is pretty good, overall a great truck for the money

Very cool rc car. It is very fast but you need to spend more than the car on metal brackets for steering and suspension or it will not last. Might as well just buy a more expensive unit

Great price for the bang! Easily upgradeable! The product is made to be affordable so don't expect it to be like the $200-$400 competitors that you can find in a hobby shop. Great for an inexpensive and easily replaceable remote controlled toy!

This was a gift for my 6 year old and I had no idea how powerful it would be. Fast and controls well. I wouldn't recommend for a 6 year old because parts will break if run into things full speed. Fortunately the parts are replacable. Lots of fun.

I was looking for an entry level RC that my eight year old would enjoy. After searching other sites I was concerned with quality and stumbled upon Redcat. The price point was a bit above what I wanted to spend but it was well worth it. The truck is amazingly fast and fun to play with. We did have an issue with the truck and the customer service support was amazing. A real person answered the phone without being on hold and sent us out free replacement part. Overall a great product and a great customer experience.

I initially got the 1:10 scale model car and it was overpowering for my 8 year old. This scaled down r/c is perfect! For the $$$ paid this R/C is definitely worth the money.

The truck was fast and fun. It could be made better though. One of the shocks bent after the first use and would stick in the compressed position. After 1 week it woud only turn and no longer went forward, reverse worked sometimes.

Great RC for the money

Honestly not many negative comments. A little "twitchy" at speed. Hard to get a "true center" alignment. This RC however is awesome other than that. Fast enough to be fun for the size (about 20-25 mph). Truly waterproof electronics. Oil filled shocks with aluminum caps. All wheel drive. Plenty of upgrades from Redcat if you want. Overall great entry level Hobby Grade RC. Takes a beating too, still nothing broken after about 15 "bashed" runs.
