I had to return my car after running it around. I read other reviews on this and thought that people were just mistreating their RC car and blaming this model as being poorly made. That, unfortunately, was not the case. The 4x4 component broke when I went on the grass (did not flip) and came back on the driveway. I ended up returning the car and purchasing another RC car from Best Buy.

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!

Awesome Introductory RC Car!

I've been itching to get an RC car for years. I bit the bullet when I saw this little guy, and I'm glad I did. It's a brushed motor and its apparently common for them to quickly die, but replacement parts are cheap on redcat's website! The motor is only $9, and extra batteries are $18. I'll be ordering two battery packs and 3 motors soon (just in case). I've spent the afternoon having a blast and can't wait to do it again tomorrow!

Very impressed with the quality of the truck. Right out of the box, I was able to get this little thing moving! I have a 1/10 scale Blackout XTE and this may be more fun to drive. If you want something that is truly ready to go (buy 4 AA batteries for the receiver) then this is your truck.

Great little truck. I bought this truck for my nephew for his first real RC vehicle. We have ran it several times and wrecked it HARD a couple of dozen times and it has held up great.

We got this car for our son (age 8) three days ago, it moves quick! Unfortunately it got caught and crashed into the curb, we contacted the manufacturer and they refused to fix it even though it is under warranty. Dont waste your money on this car.

This is the second one of these we have had. I returned the first after it broke on Christmas Day. This one made it less than 15 minutes and the same thing happened. Not a quality product. Good thing we bought the geek squad protection....

My car stopped going reverse and started smoking in the first 5 minutes. Replacing the ESC costs more than the truck. The next 5 minutes was my kid crying.
